hmmm, oni and building inspector. okay. definitely will need to guard against that t3 max oniu with cadets, etc… im tempted to drop spore shambler, but arrest could lead to some early problems. i think i should just float a a little gold and play it safe.

he can drop a MFT to get through the wisp, but im not worried about that cause all i have to lose is some base health. next turn i can threaten rampant growth, tech up, etc… no rush here.

probably teching a TB and centaur.huntress depending on his Oni play.

okay, finally got it fixed, that's a LOT fo gold. i think i need to tech up while he doesnt have too much of a board. whether he goes peace or truth, i think ancients are best here. need to delay molac cause i dont have any baord anyways. patrolling huntress in tech to REALLY mke sure i get an Ancient next turn.

he can get through to break tech 2, but that would require arrest and max oni, kind of expensive. i will tech in a TB if that's the case.

The way the Quick Reference describes the Tech Phase is misleading, in my opinion. The description of the Tech phase on page 6 says to “set aside” the chosen cards, and that they don’t go into the discard pile until just before the next turn starts. Also, if a player could choose whether or not their tech cards would be in the discard pile when their Technician died, that would be a choice made by a player other than the active player, which would contradict the asynchronous design of Codex (“Active Player Decides” on page 18). For this reason, I’m confident that the page 6 description is accurate and it’s not possible for a reshuffle to shuffle the tech choice cards into the deck. Does this affect your turn post?

teching a second BA and nature reclaims. that tech lab is scary, but should be expected with Nek. fingers crossed no manufactured truth. he'd be getting ALL teh splits this game.

12

You’ll have to spend $1 to rebuild your Tech II because of the Building Inspector. Does that change anything about your turn?

13

nope. ill just eliminate the float.

ahh, alas, tech 0s cant attack Tiny B

Looks like the Ancient can distribute 3 +1/+1 runes no matter how I try to defend. At least I can protect my Garrison with the Newsman.
