White has no good way to deal with Spectral Aven, save for Rook's birds and Fox Primus. The thing is: in that case, I need to patrol with one as SLQ, and so my grould patrol will be weakened. I guess I've no choice but killing Oni, given the situation. Such a small T3 hand worries me though, especially whti such a bloated deck. I guess I'll head for a heroes hall T3 if I don't draw Twins + Birds; if I do, I suppose I'll end up building a Surplus…

Skipping Worker I guess it's not that terrible as White is cheap and I already paid Tech II, and the deal seems worth it, with 2 heroes out for next turn. Truth seems not that frightening, even if Retellers are a bane; Grapplers should dispose of most units, including Macciatus. A Partner may help, if I manage to have Bird's nest last a bit. Doubling Babarian for walling and maybe some late game stomp.

I considered suiciding Grave and bringing Rook in + Sparring Partner. Injunction on Tech II would hurt terribly this line, as I won't have access to another hero, both my Grapplers would be disabled, and I've no other tech I in my deck. I guess I would go for a Surplus and pray I won't draw both Nest and Barbarian… OK, let's go crazy and skip worker again.

Ouch. Well, at least I was right to suspect Injunction, but even so. I won't gain levels but I guess I have to kill Bigby just in case he has another Injunction. Good news is I still can use partner, as costly as it is. Either Savior Monk + 2 spars or Surplus + 1 spar. The former looks better to avoid a Grave kill with Macciatus + Eyes on Hound.

I'd gladly have snapbacked Quince into Bigby, as I fear both Injunction and ultimate. If I keep my board alive, I probably should find a way to lethal.

No lethal today, but I'm confident next turn shall be the last.
Honestly I don’t know where the mistake comes from. I guess I changed my turn several times, and decided to attack while not changing my patrol. I’m not sure continuing the game is ever relevant as this error gave me an unfair, major, 4-turns-lasting advantage.
I can lethal this turn, but would’ve I without Grave slaying everything since turn 5 ? I seriously doubt it.
