Thoughts

I think Iā€™m going to change my usual choices and go Necro this time, which means playing Skeletal Archery at some point for anti-air, figuring birds are coming. Certainly not worth doing it now, better to get some force on the board. Unfortunately drew Deteriorate in the first hand, where itā€™s useless, so no easy kill of Sensei early on. I love Dark Pact more and more.

Considered Jandra, went for the extra patroller instead in order to avoid Midband Rook romping straight through. I could have maxed Vandy and killed Rook, but that would have left Vandy vulnerable to a kill by the Doomed Savior Monk and he could get 2 easy hero levels. Hopefully this at least makes it not worth his time to attack much. I expect an Aged Sensei and probably a Smoker.

Costly turn but worth it. Wouldnā€™t be surprised to see Grave-Snapback this turn, which I wouldnā€™t mind TERRIBLY, Vandy did good work. Hopefully Iā€™ll keep her around one more turn for a Dark Pact, thoughā€¦ It feels so dirty to Worker the Thieving Imp, but he was my only good choice, and I donā€™t want to fall behind on income this early.

OK, things are in control now. Discipline so I assume Iā€™ll be seeing MPM or Lightning Dragon next turn, both of which will suck, and likely Grave. Birds might trade with my Skellies or just hurt Vandy. I like that I grabbed the Wight and Sacrifice again, with some luck Iā€™ll be able to clear whatever he puts out.
