Mmph, couldāve done without that. I could kill Vandy this turn if I trade Zane and a Charged Dog into her, for 5 gold. Thatās going to leave me down on cards again, though. However, I can then afford to worker, and get out Argagarg to be maxbanded. Thatās compared to just hitting the base with Zane and ending my turn with 2 cards instead of none. Given I havenāt seen any Fencers yet, I think Metamorphosis is pretty likely, so I think itās worth the card loss. Might as well see if I can pull off a Stampede, given how much Iāve taken off of Jamesās base already.
ā¦ Lucky draw on MoLaC, hope James hasnāt drawn back into that Imp.
EDIT: Oh, he might also be going for Terras Q + Discord. Going to need to urgently tech Polymorph Chaos Mirror next turn.

Oh dear, those metamoprhoses seem like a bad investment now. My goals now: Tech III to win I guess. Threats: Stampede, MoLaC. Options this turn: Tech III and three cards to defend. Not worth it, as no way Iāll draw into it. Defence in its various forms: dump my hand on him, or Garth and ressurect something I tech (Either a Dozer or a Voidblocker). I like the latter better as it means a good draw next turn, and closes down both Stampede and MoLaC a lot. Tech up next turn, destroy his heroes or MoLaC with Zarramonde, win.

Chaos Mirror in case of Terras Q / Zarramonde, Giant Panda for more bodies, and more card-efficient bodies while I get my hand size back up. Skipping a worker to get up a surplus, Iād rather take the time to set up activating MoLaC while thereās nothing with obliterate on Jamesās board.

ANd thereās the MoLaC. Eep. But the plan holds, my Blocker will delay him setting it off! Tech up. Now what else? I need more defense, a stampede big Zane shift or something could take out my Blocker fairly fast. A Dozer with a backline skeleton would be fine. Alts - heores? I canāt quite max Vandy again, so sheās out really for now. Skele and sac - a wisp. Nah man. Keep it simple, dozer up.
I switched a Blooming Ancient out for a Chaos Mirror, on top of the one I teched on Turn 6. Thatā¦ is a card I really need in response to Jamesās Turn 6, but it was legitimately a card I thought about teching at the time.

Teching up makes sense for James here, Iād forgotten Zarramonde can destroy upgrades. Better tech another one! Iām also adding a Surprise Attack to get those runes coming in more quickly.
ā¦ Well. Thatās quite a hand. I donāt have Ancients any more, but I can blow through the current patrol a bit. 4 gold gets me Zane + Chaos Mirror on that Dozer and my Wisp. 1 gold off a Stampede too! Iāll just midband Zane and share on that technician draw.
ā¦ Drew a Taxman. Iām skipping a worker to play it, but it adds some more buffer against Zarramonde.
ā¦ Going to have a pretty sweet turn here if Zarramonde doesnāt appear. If he does, Iāll be practically trading my whole board for himā¦

Oh man, I forgot about chaos mirror. There is now a stampede coming, I can feel it - that Argagarg has been max level for too long. I need to defend my Tech III this turn for the Zarramonde next turn. That means bodies - it could also mean make him discard and hope he loses the Stampede if he has it (unless it is in his discard as a recent tech). OK, plays. Fencer and Blade kill that Taxman (-2),Garth kills the water Ele, patrol Vandy and then he has no units to benefit from a Stampede or MoLaC anyway. Seems good. Imp and skeletons alone - bad. Passivity --> MoLaC pops. it is time for action. What after the ele is dead? I need to worry about the Zane Shuffle - anything I patrol is liable to be shifted with 1 damage. A skeleton is actually just a pointless patrol then. I could Imp and low level Vandy - but the Imp is killed by Argagarg after shuffle, and Vandy easily by Zane. If I mid Vandy and put her in Lookout, however - shifitng her costs 2, and doing a shift is NOT optional on maxing Zane, so it increases the cost of Zaning. If he doesnāt level Zane, he canāt kill her without losing Zane - but if he does, he wastes gold and either has to damage his Argagarg by putting me in SQL, give me a gold or card (which he will aslo get admittedly), or lose Zane to Elite. Seems like an interesting less is more situation. Spam a skel at the back for a potential draw next turn too.
Wow. Cards in deck = 2, and they are both Zarramonde.

Well, I overthought that. If I had just patrolled my skeleton it might have protected me from hasty things which I knew he had. OOPS.I can get up five blockers though, so may be able to hold Tech III and Zarramonde that MoLaC next turn. The Skele goes in SQL so that he has to kill it to reach the Dozer, and then when the Dozer dies it is the backline skele that goes with it. Thatās the theory, anyway.

Grave for chucking a sword at Vandy, Injunction for dealing with lots of units coming out for Ancients, Versatile Style for MoLaC or Mythmaking. Probably not the latter, lack of black starter makes a legendary deck a bit less viable.
