Thoughts

This is a major gamble, and Iā€™m drifting further and further away from my game plan, but Iā€™m hoping the threat of Maximum Anarchy provokes Vandy into going maxband and killing Zane, and that Iā€™ll be able to use Unphase to allow the Mox to kill her before she can cast Meta.

He wasnā€™t down with the graveyard, but that means he left his tech 1 vulnerable. I think I want to break that and go Ninja t2 then. GN + Soulstone, and Iā€™ll lay GPT + Dark Pact for another (or HH if I whiff)

Damn, float 5?? I almost want to re-break the tech 1! Really, Ninja isnā€™t a good t2 choice against Drakk, ninjas are super kidnappable.

So letā€™s re-break that tech 1 and plan to go for T3! Teching Steam Tanks, Iā€™ll worker the GN no worries

Are you sure you donā€™t to patrol mox? Or want a tower? Youā€™re risking a meta insta-kill if I have it in hand :slight_smile:

I canā€™t patrol with the Mox because it ā€œdiedā€ during my upkeep, but Iā€™ll go ahead and buy a Tower.

How did it die during your upkeep? Vandy maxbandā€™s doesnā€™t trigger on the opponentā€™s turn, so it wasnā€™t doomedā€¦

GG WP. I think the [Future]/Anarchy/Blood angle has too many slow and expensive moving parts to have any reasonable chance of coming together against a skilled opponent, so Iā€™ll try a simpler approach: [Future]/Present/Blood. You sticking with this build or switching to Tokenfest?

You pick whichever you want to play test the deck against and go first :slight_smile: agree that what youā€™re doing now has all been too slow
