RUH ROH. Drawing the Sanatorium off the Skeleton was ludicrously good. Also, I was stupid. I should have created a skeleton last turn. OOPS. That said, we have to weather the incoming storm. FINGERS CROSSED, BABYCAKES. Discord would wreck me.

Zane and Nullcraft are fun. They’ll let us remove most of his board while retaining our own. We do have to delay Tech I for that though. We’ll see if it’s worth it.

I can StW the Nullcraft away, that's not bad. I'm also okay going down on cards to play Poisonblade.= or Imp. Imp, StW is 5 gold, though. I need 2 gold for Tech 1. StW, Javelineer is 3 gold, 2 for Tech 1, 1 for skeleton. For followup, I'm a little worried about Surprise Sharks, but ce la vie. No Tech 1 to deal with. Maxband Zane is a possible threat, but all that does is kill off Garth.

Plasmodium is a little spooky, but Fencer + javelin-bearing skeleton wipes the board without costing me anything. Then I make another skeleton (3), and I have three gold left. Level up Garth once (4), draw, potentially play another Fencer or Skeletal Archery or Graveyard if I get it? Seems good. I actually have 4/5 playables there.

Time to wall up and see if we can’t weather the incoming Storm. The turn the Plasmodium arrives should be fun, I think. The best thing about doing this is that delaying my draw cycle means I won’t draw into a Sanatorium before I have Tech II up. I should be able to build Tech II next turn so let’s see what we can do!

Nimble Fencer trades with Vystari
Plasmodium is coming down soon. Skeletal Archery plus Nimble Fencer lets me clean up the Patrol Zone only losing the Nimble Fencer. If I slap down Deteriorate, I even have a spare skeleton to kill off Nullcraft, unsure how much of an actual threat that is. I'm not really that concerned, actually. So. Play Archery, use two skeletons and the Fencer to kill Fading Argo, Garth kills Vystari, need a new Fencer to bump Mox out of Lookout, which is relevant because I want to kill Tech 1. That's 4 gold. If I then max Garth, I can heal him and fetch the Fencer back from the discard and kill Tech 1, or I can hunker up and fetch a Bone Collector to guard against Time Spiral -> Plasmodium. Zane is also on the table. Instead of going max aggro, I can settle for killing Fargo and Vystari off, but that does leave Garth at 1 HP. Hmm. I could also trade Deteriorate for being able to keep a skeleton up as a patrol.

Okay, I didn’t want to play my whole hand so I could maximize what I draw next turn but tough cookies to me. I’m incredibly soft to Sacrifice the Weak here, which isn’t great. Because the Skeletons have Long Range and Anti-Air, I don’t see the point of the SQL if I don’t have a Tower. He might be able to destroy my Tech I, but I think my Tech II will be safe.
