Hmm… Maybe the porcupines will trade well after all? I’ll be in a sort of weird situation next turn since fox’s den school won’t be in hand, unless maybe Grappler dies.
Good spot on the inverse power ninja dying! Overpower? Terras has obliterate but no overpower, and unfortunately the thing you don’t want against obliterate is a hand of tech 2s like you had xd

Was a fun game for me, i got to do a combo ive always wanted😂 want to switch player order and go again im enjoying these matches?
Sounds good! And whoops, misread the card… obliterate is significantly more porcupine-resistant, huh… I think my critical mistake was playing IPN instead of Grave on the turn I went way down in cards (see also, teching IPN over birds). I was thinking I wanted to be able to deal with an Abomination, but it turns out Grave would have probably been more efficient there too. It also might have been wrong to Snapback Vandy? Not sure about that one.

Could level grave to heal him, but the downside of my opponent deteriorating the smoker and killing grave isn’t really that concerning compared to the possible upside of having 2 heroes on board next turn.
I knew you could have grappling hook and use it to get a double kill, yet for no reason my brain said “it’s alright they’ll have to move the SQL one so I’ll still get scavenger bonus”… XD

Well, too bad to lose grave, but this doesn’t seem like a terrible board position… I think between shuriken hail and entangling vines we can stall to get young lightning dragons going. Garth maxband will hopefully fetch some not-too-scary Tech I, but we do have to worry about nether drain recursing that effect…

Oof, this would be a different game if I had patrolled my smoker in technician and drawn vines. As it stands, I hope my opponent hasn’t teched or fails to draw doom grasp… I was going to do something completely different and play birds, but I think going for the longshot win with Setsuki’s ult is probably better. I just can’t picture winning the game after losing 3 full heroes, plus this puts more defensive stats on board.

Thoughts
Oh thank god the very last draw… ANOTHER poor lookout patrol; hopefully I’ve learned my lesson. I could make a Tech II building, but I think this is a winning amount of pressure even at Tech I, so let’s summon Grave instead.
Hmm is there a ruling on that one? The text says “This turn, your Ninja units have haste and stealth.” To me, that reads as a persistent fact about the turn, rather than an effect applied to currently on-board ninjas.
I consider it as ferocity, and ferocity only applies to the units present when you cast the spell (was ruled officially, but imo in case of doubt, ask/search.) in this case it doesn’t matter, since the order may be wrong, but you can legally obtain the intended effect.
Huh! Well, the wording style is consistent between the two. I can’t think of any edge cases where it would be desirable to play the units + spell in backward order, so the wording is probably fine.
