That Midori is quite the roadblock, not sure if Mox was the best decision after all because, again, sitting back seems to benefit green. I see one possibility how he can wipe my board if he midbands Midori and has Forest’s Favor or Rampant Growth. I dislike having to kill the wisp, but Midori’s midband just gets way too threatening at this point.
[details=My Thoughts]
Can maxband Midori here and Forest’s Favor or Tiny B, if I had Huntress to do that with I would 100% do it but this is much safer, force him to come at me with bad trades, tech up. [/details]

This turn took me a while to figure out. I have several options to trade with patrollers, but all of them leave Geiger very exposed. While I can’t guarantee Geiger’s Survival with the more defensive line I’ve chosen - at least I might get some Patroller bonuses this way. I almost expect him to cast Nature Reclaims on my Battle Suits, but I think that is an ok trade for me. Next turn I have the option of Time Spiral should he do anything threatening with Midori.

Or not tech up, he left the door open to really punish his board so why not? I’m even leaving the tech 2 up so I can encourage spending on not origin story then I’ll break it next turn and tech up myself, or play for Stampede perhaps. [/details]

Thoughts
This turn is a decision between Prynn + Origin Story to get rid of Midori OR playing Tricycloid, which would allow me to kill the Huntress and the Ironbark Treant. In the end I think that the +1/+1 Midori is the greater threat and the two units can be kept at bay with patrollers for one round. As always when playing against Green, a Rampant Growth can always mess with all the planning. If the Ironbark Treant is still alive next turn, it would be a great target for Stewardess because my plan is to play Hyperion + Stewardess next turn.

[details=My Thoughts]
With Dinosize in the deck and Potent Basilisk, he has to pick between killing Arg, Midori or Tech 2 to make a big Hyperion / Tricycloid play, and I can win regardless of what he chooses to kill. And that’s only if he has TD / Stewardess + Tech2 Unit. Tech Stampede and a T-Rex, we can play for either win condition over the next couple turns. [/details]

Thoughts
Okay… complete change of plans. While losing the Nullcraft wasn’t part of the plan and I can’t even remember why I patrolled it, the damage on Huntress actually allows me to use Tricycloid to good effect. While this skips a worker, I think getting Midori is worth it. Quite unsure about my tech choices at this point, but I guess Tech III can’t hurt if there is no end of the game in sight.
Sidenote: Potent Basilisks will eat my Battle Suits :-/
