Orpal was in fact in lookout for that eventuality, so how are you gonna pay for that doom grasp?

9

Woops - I’ll skip the bone collector and float a gold. That gives me an extra card in hand. I’ll also patrol Garth in elite.

I’ll update everything tomorrow, but go ahead and take your turn if you’d like.

I killed Garth with Orpal, so doom grasp seems unlikely.

17

:frowning:

I’ll fix this and retake my turn tomorrow. I thought it was odd that you’d reduce him to 1/1…

18

Not really sure if I should be redoing all of my draws that turn or not. I took a look at it and determined that even with a dead Garth I’d still go the same way (and end up drawing the DG through garrison). I kept my draws the same up until the point that I cast doom grasp (so all the garrison draws). I re-randomized my ending hand after setting up my patrol, though.

What would we do if this wasn’t a casual game? redraw everything? I don’t think it matters too much for this particular turn, but it’s an interesting question.

in @EricF’s tournament format, I think the standard is to rerandomize the entire turn, if I understand correctly.

I’m pretty happy with how this Cancer deck worked out. I suspect Peace was the wrong engine to use against it though. You might have had good luck with Balance, but I dunno. I think I really surprised you with my early Orpal play.
