Yeah, I must have changed something as I was moving stuff around on the spreadsheet. Because I’ve already drawn my new hand, I’ll just float that 3 gold to the next turn, and Rook should have 3 damage on him (1 from before, 2 from the Firebat).

That’s fine, but I’ll be traveling during much of January so my posting will be a bit inconsistent during that time. Shoot me a message if you don’t mind that.
OK, I think I’ll stick with a mono color for now. That’s challenging enough for me right now. At least I don’t have worry about those damned Firebirds this game! I’ve never seen Finesse or Disease in a game yet, so that’ll be fun.
Speaking of which, what the heck, I’ll go mono-red. BURN THEM ALL!
I rolled a 20, so you’re up when you want to get going. @Eijolend
This spec combination is another attempt at finding a good way to play Disease, which I like very much, but without the black starter, which I don’t like (even though it is supposed to be very good). Maybe the multi-color penalty is still too much, but Discipline seems more interesting than Demonology (not counting Metamorphosis).

I think I have to take this opportunity to get Sparkshot value. However, I don’t think I can afford to not play the Older Brother and build Tech I instead as Mad Man + Zane or similar immediately destroy the investment I gained this round. Skipping Tech I is not nice, but Martial Mastery should make unlucky draws less severe.

Okay, the two lobbers make every choice I have wrong anyway, so let’s just hope I can survive this onslought while he is down on cards. Killing Grave is very expensive for him, but destroying my Tech I is entirely reasonable and leaves me far behind. I don’t think having more patrollers would’ve saved me though as then he just has more things to attack and my units don’t trade well with what he can muster.
After drawing new hand: Aaaaaand my next hand is crap (at least destroying Tech I doesn’t impact me as much ) Probably GG.[/details]

Thoughts
My choice basically came down to destroying Tech I or ganking Grave which would have wiped everyone out. Grave burned his sword on a relatively unimportant unit, so that’s OK. He might respond by taking out my Tech I, which puts us even. Less likely he’ll kill Zane. I’ll almost certainly build Tech II next turn, and maybe Tower or Surplus.

A slow turn, but at least my Patrol Zone trades well with his Lobbers.
