GGWP, another win for you! Gah i need to up my game
My final (but nowhere near first) mistake this game was putting Max in technician instead of scavenger… i should have realised that the extra help in drawing rewind wasn’t worth it when I’d be one gold short of playing it anyway😂 (i did in fact draw it even pre- technician draw)
I’m enjoying these games a lot though, I want to try mono Black next as I havent used it in a long time; if you want to play another you can pick a deck and go first
(Also if you have a burning hatred of playing against Black for whatever reason or you just want to get practice against something else feel free to pick my deck for me )
Hehe thoughts-readin’ time! I am definitely terrified of Black, but I gotta learn how to play against it someday! Also, I presume you’ll be P1? I’ll play White, I think.

ok so mono-black… I’ve definitely played against this more than I’ve played with it so let’s see what i can do from this side. tbh very open to any tactic atm, i always have a sweet spot for disease cos i think it’s cool but we’ll see my what a lovely hand split: both weenies in this hand and both spells in the next!

so i can play passive with an imp and a graveyard, or aggro with a vandy maxbsnd
problem eith graveyard is i dont want either of javelineer or haunt in there really (maybe haunt) so would have to kill them off
aggro plans can aim for rook or tech 1, i think considering how expensive Rook’s midband is (they couldnt snapbsck vandy and midband him) we gp for tech 1
for my techs: I’ll go for tech 2s, hopefully they spend 4g snapbacking Vandy and lose enough momentum my tech 2 comes out okay… going for a dumb plan on tech 2 but i thijk the time is right

Ok, so no sparring partner, which is probably fine. We’ll draw IPN next turn and stabilize, if all goes well. I think snapback is necessary to not get blown out here…

dumb plan continuing despite setback of drawing TQ this turn: will put disease tech 2 for now and tech lab next turn, saving flexibility in the 1g not yet spent (will tech another plague lab as they are good in pairs anyway (first one can duplicate second one’s contribution) and so hopefully i have one ready for TQ)
i see no good way to hire a plague spitter and patrol that allows for a grappling hook and Rook midband; however Orpal gloor midband can deter a rook by himself in SQL
sidenote: it kinda looks like i predicted the Orpal choice for snapback considering i’ve gone for disease and a plague spitter loll how lucky
Another scary turn of potential tech-advantaged drops…

Going down on cards and playing IPN instead of using my heroes’ hall, because I think I might need a lot of damage to kill an abomination next turn. Since I’ll be down cards, gonna tech my bigger stuff instead of going for more spells.

Looking bad – opponent is clearly going for Terras Q. Maybe I can kill it with porcupines, but the plague lab will probably neuter those… Nothing for it but to try!
edit: decide how you’re gonna change your turn based on posts below before looking at my turn pls; i doubt my turn will change though unless you drastically change yours, so once you’ve edited your turn feel free to look at mine/ start your next turn

@GBudee you had a heroes’ hall before actually so you could just hire Grave before you replace it with tech lab (also replacing an add-on means destroying the first and taking 2 base dmg)
Ok, yeah I think every time I, say, forget to move a worker over or something I accrue more spreadsheet mistakes. It sounds like the turn works as-is, assuming the heroes’ hall had been correctly recorded?
Yep it works fine as long as you hire Grave before you build the tech lab (i.e. whilst u still have a heroes’ hall) but no need to edit, I can understand.
And don’t feel any shame for spreadsheet mistakes, there’s more things to actively keep track of than when you’re playing irl and the cards are less prone to mysteriously disappearing😂 you get used to the ways to fix it that work and the ways that leave inconsistencies after a while xd
When all else fails there is always “see previous versions” of the spreadsheet and revert it to before any mistakes were made😂
