Well, playing against a Future opponent that just played a Peace machine and has had the potency of Assimilate pointed out to him, I’m hesitant to play my normal game here. I kinda think I might be investing heavily in Oni, has his deck lacks proper hero control (no Garth, No Snapback, No OS, No Free Speech…) So out comes oni, and Plasmo (nice mixup to complement Oni, though debatable Plexus would help counter-pressure better). Feel like he shoulda opened with Imp or Vandy + haunt/jav, though maybe he didn’t have any of those)
Mox + Boot Camp could be really good here, that might be worth considering next turn

Boy I sure hope he doesn’t have Nullcraft in his hand. Teching Twilight Baron instead of Glax so I have an answer to Plasmodium. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch Onimaru in the patrol zone once I have Blade in hand.

Well right now, I’m thinking I’ll probably be rushing tech 2. I need Nullcraft to kill that PBR while I have a free shot, but that means not enough gold to keep Oni safe and Tech 1, so trading Oni (2g and no card) for Jandra (3g and a card) works great. Sure, Soul Stone or Shadow Blade are unlikely, but still, the trade is solid. I definitely don’t win a tech 3 battle, so I need to be careful of Judgement day ruining a tech 2 win plan. Oni maxband will still be on the table. Grabbing an Unphase (Plasmo stealth kill on a likely hero will be very nice indeed), and Bone Collector b/c he’s just solid AF
…
Well, nice that I drew Unphase + Spiral, but Fargo + tech 2 still may be the way we end up going… we’ll see [/details]

Huh, Baron, not what I expected. Fargo + Future feels like the right choice, Xenostalker to be meaty on the ground and hopefully draw Nether Drain to dig up a Void Star. Let’s see how that plan goes…
Hmm, Drew Unphase and TR, not exactly what I want though if he doesn’t go Hero here idk when he will, so Vir + Unphase looks enticing

And now Jandra + Graveyard. Graveyard is an interesting choice, perhaps he’s not planning to leverage Dark Pact for card advantage? Or he just really wants the deck thin? Either way, it presents a fun opportunity to steal it, so grabbing assimilate. I can get a Void Star with virtually no risk (unless he teched Judgement Day, which given his heavy investment in big demons I’d kinda doubt, though perhaps that’s why Graveyard…), and still protect Garth decently well (deteriorate + shadow blade is the only big danger, nullcraft being the hero of Sac the Weak) for possible Nether Draining next turn. I like this position
…
Drew Unphase and Plexus on the wrap, Unphase is good just in case there’s like a Gargoyle or something. Probably last tech an Omegacron aaand… maybe Glaxx? Maybe Hoodie? Probably Hoodie, he’s so invested in big things. [/details]

No Mox + BC against Stewardess AND Orpal lol. Yes to Peace Engine though. Also Battle Suits, Versatile Style isn’t a huge deal. Only options with this starting hand are Nullcraft, Plexus or Oni IMO, think it’s best to get something suit-able (lol) and not risk giving up levels just yet (plus thinning deck > not) Brave Knight isn’t a bad first tech here, nor is Hoodie. Might do both of 'em [/details]
