I teched, but the spreadsheet didn’t get it in the automatic post because i Peeked with Vir… i had to shove the entire discard pile together with the two tech cards into the draw column for that because it didn’t do it automatically on clicking Peek… so the spreadheet lost track and i didn’t check… but i teched in two cards - next hand and deck are alright!
oh sorry…:
“If you have no draw pile, looking at the top card of your draw pile does nothing. It does NOT cause you to shuffle your discard pile into your draw pile. — Sirlin”
just checke in the card-db… i didn’t use it anyway. but i’ll shuffle in my last turn’s discard and redraw five to make everything correct

So I could’ve gone for Tech II here by not attacking Argonaut, but I really like getting him down to a 3/3. Now he dies to both Water Elemental or Bone Collector. I am expecting Stewardess for Water Elemental, hence Lookout. Tower will make all his trades better so that is bad for me, I went with a Heroes’ Hall so even if he breaks my tech I’m not as stranded (though of course, no EQ this game). I also threw a Nether Drain into tech, because I can see it being pretty good against some of purple’s heroes too! We’ll see if I’m right.
i don’t feel good at all… like making mistakes all the time… maybe should have put Argonaut into Elite-Slot to prevent you from attacking with Arg… (?)

Hmm, I’m not sure about that. I think you are right though. Nullcraft didn’t have to “fly over” anything to attack the tech wisp after SL is dead, so maybe anti-air doesn’t do anything unless you try to attack Tech I - then nullcraft has to fly over.

Well, this is going well. I seem to be ahead on trades and this turn I pull ahead on Tech as well. Origin Story could be good for him if he suspects Stampede, but of course I’m planning on using Garth next turn to draw some cards. I don’t think I’m too worried about anything here, he can trade Nullcraft for elemental, but that’s fine with me.
ah… just found the new spot for thoughts in the spreadsheet
i really lost big time the last match… so what should i do differently? unfortunately i don’t have enough money to get battle suits and mox and build tech i… unless i don’t make a worker. which is no option, i think…
maybe i should tech in vortoss emblem to make his buffs less effective? but then he didn’t actually tech a dinosize in the last few rounds… i really regretted not having gone for stewardess in the last match, so i’ll tech her in
and then i need to know… do i want haste or unphase right away? i really like those two spells, but probably they’ll be more important a bit later… i couldn’t use them last game as i didn’t live long enough… that shouldn’t happen again…
i intend going for present… but i really would like a seer in my deck, as 2 attack (3 with battle suits) is good value for 1 gold… i can use the time runes later for a tricycloid… but up to then it’s wasted resources… anyway i’ll go for two units here, and one will be a seer for its low price… any comments?

Tricky turn for me. Arg is going to die no matter what I do, so I’ve tried to make sure he takes down stuff with him. Arg in Elite + Tower means FArgo dies. I didn’t bother putting a wisp in SL because I’m really expecting Stewardess this game He’ll still probably bounce a wisp, but at least I get Scav or Tech if he wants to attack and kill the other one with Mox. He probably won’t. I’m curious which hero he summons with 2 free levels, but if last game is any indication I’m expecting Vir and that means possibly some 6/7 untargetable mechs are his goal. Gotta keep that in mind for spells…

he’s presenting me Arg on a plate? what do i make of it? and what is he up to? does he want to see my heroe-choice? he’ll get in Garth probably…
i’ll stick to my present plan: get in hyperions boosted by battle suits and cast temporal distortion for tricycloid. maybe boost it with seer. so i’ll get another seer. and maybe now! to attack with a 3/1 soon?

Ooh, Geiger. Hmm, maybe he is trying to become more feisty? But I think my tech II is relatively safe. He has 5 power on board, but I have 3 in the PZ, plus Tower. Nullcraft isn’t too good against a tower I think, and the rest have trouble bashing through. He could give an Argonaut haste with Geiger, that would be really bad for me, but I guess I have to hope he isn’t that lucky. Speaking of luck, I scored a Drill Sergeant on my next hand…

hm… i could really use some battle suits here. shall i draw with geiger / temporal research? and then spend a lot of money and go down on hand size? and don’t go for tech ii this turn?
i think, i’ll try my luck here with a draw by Geiger, maybe get Battle Suits and Tech II this turn and complement my forces with a seer… (?)
ok, i got Now! - so i’ll boost one of my Seers to trade with Bonecollector and go down on cards to the end… i should have some army for next turn to clean his rows if he gets his peace machine going… (hopefully) but still no tech ii

Well, it was lucky getting the Drill Sergeant, but I’m just hanging him out to dry. I might even go for tech III this game unless he makes a move soon. Next turn I’m planning on bringing out both Garth and Arg, then going back to a 5-card hand or playing guys to buff the undead Drill Sergeant. We’ll see what he does!

As usual, I find too many things to do with my gold so no tech III. This deck is cool but I wish I had gone Necromancy this game, I’m a little bored of Peace’s drill sergeants. Still, I can’t deny that it’s powerful…

completely overlooked R&D up to now… VERY, VERY STUPID NOT HAVING TECHED IT well… get into my deck anyway!
cannot worker this turn… so i have to go on teching… let’s see if i can survive thsi long enough to regain a normal hand size…
oh sorry, didn’t realize that as i always traded my units anyway… so i gotta redo some things as i won’t be able to finish garth like this
@NikoBolas …now everything should be alright… maybe even better now - maybe killing BC and Cadet is the smarter move after all - i didn’t see it before as i was too fixed on Garth… anyway the move before wouldn’t have been possible as i forgot to pay for maxing Geiger… (!)

Well, this is not going well. The longer it goes the more I think it favors him? The only lucky thing for me is that he doesn’t seem to want to use Prynn and she’s really good at breaking up my combos. I’m expecting either another Trycycloid or a Hyperion! next turn. Fortunately the draws have finally aligned themselves and I can go off next turn with Garrison, DS, and even throw a Doom Grasp out there for whatever meager blocker he puts up!
