So worst case scenario happened, but now I know the spell “might” be out of play until next turn. I set up a tower and the biggest board possible, he shouldn’t be able to get through this too easily. Blue Tech 1 units arent’ really the best, so I’m gonna bank on the skeleton card advantage and Garth Next turn with Doom Grasp to deal with Onimaru.
By the way thanks for the feedback on the technical of the posts (like what to blur and how). After you finish destroying me, I’ll be more than happy to hear your opinion about my plays !

So when one has to watch under ur spoiler do not have to click on every single card but just once.
If u have doubts on how to make this, quote this post, then use the “quote whole post” option (the balloon like one) to see the proper commands
Ninja Edit (doesn’t affect the turn): Is that blur okay for the secret sections ? Also, again, thank you for the help.

My Thoughts
So, great play for Onimaru there, he managed to get his Tech II before me (Law, didn’t anticpate this) and prevent me from making my Tech II this turn. Should be able to do mine next turn though, so I started to tech immediatly. I know the Cencsorship Council is a threat (and a big one), so I’m keeping graveyard in the deck to be able to cast from the table, and putting ressurrector to enable second Garth resurrect in same turn.
the details command is useful to squeeze all the stuff in a single line, blur cuz if i want to look at ur next hand and u did not use it, i am forced to see other stuff also. my next turn is incoming!

My Thoughts
So here I’m afraid of Injuction (which paralyzes my engine of Bone Collectors) and Judgment Day (who gives him the advantage, because I have a bigger board presence. I can’t really play against judgment, but in case of paralysis, I teched in Death Rites for the turn after the next. I also teched in Lord of Shadows for the show and tell combo with Skeletal Lord that is incoming. Sadly had to worker up a great card (Plague Spitter), but I don’t see when I’ll be casting it this match-up. I hope this patrol stands, and that I am putting enough pressure on him. I also fear a Quince+Free Speech, but he already has a lot of spells in his codex, so we’ll see.
Just asking here, but you had no more minions except Bigby right ? Garth killed your soldier last round. Correct me if I’m wrong, and feel free to edit the post again if I’m right.

My Thoughts
Well, last turn was pretty underwhelming, and I managed to destroy the council. With Bibgy dead for one turn, I can avoid Judgment Day for a full turn, and prepare against it by summoning heroes and doing Tech III next turn, maybe adding a Doom Grasp in the rotation to play against his heroes (and hope I don’t get Free Speeched), then going for the invisible base race. As far as I know, I don’t think Law has the tools to stop my board at this point. Let’s hope he doesn’t outsmart me, so far his plays were really good, especially the opener.
GG Legion. Thanks again for the help along the way with the technical details. Also, I’m still trying to learn MonoU. If you want to, I’ll be really glad if you wanted to explain to me what is the Law plan normally ? And if you’re in for a rematch, I’m always IN :-).
