Corrected an error where I forgot to put Lawful Search in my discard on T4. Turn ends up being mostly the same, but I wasn’t able to worker the card I wanted to, so I built a Tech Lab instead.

I just realized I forgot to draw a card when collecting insurance. Would you rather I roll back to that point, or just draw an extra card at the start of turn 9?

Drawing extra sounds like less of a hassle. I’m fine with it.

Thoughts

River’s spells are less threateninig with the Newsman in play than Rook’s, so I’ll choose to bounce River and kill rook.

309

Ok I don’t know what you did and can’t follow but sounds like GG WP!

310

GG WP indeed, you had me sweating for a while there!

So, the gist of it is, when Seer removes a time rune from Rememberer, the Rememberer fetches a unit with fading from the discard without paying its cost. Then, the Insurance Agents insure a (preferably expensive) unit with fading, so when its last last time rune is removed, it dies and you collect a massive payout. Ebbflow Archon allows Seer and Insurance Agents to be played repeatedly, so if you’re careful and patient, you can generate infinite gold and infinite card draw (excepting that the discard pile can only be reshuffled into the deck once during each main phase). The catch is that the combo requires active Tech I, Tech II and Tech III buildings plus a Tech Lab to work, so it can be difficult to set up against some builds.

311

Yea, Insurance Agent is really the MVP, I didn’t even know you could use it on an opponent’s unit. When you insured SQL I thought it was yours. I think I manage early turns fairly well but always lose it during mid game and fail to set it up for late games. Glad at least played better than the first game, but I’m done with this match up. Strength really was not a good pick. If you want to draft something else, I am up for it.

312

It offers incredible value if you can collect the payout (which usually means you want the unit to die in the same turn it’s insured). It’s a much riskier proposition to float an insurance rune over to your opponent’s turn, especially if faced with Kidnapping etc, though a Flagbearer can mitigate this (Vortoss Emblem ftw?).

I’m down for a fresh draft. Do you want to pick first this time (and be player 2), or do you want me to again?

313

I will pick first. I am going with [Blood] again. Didn’t really get to use it in this previous match up.

314

In that case, I pick [Truth]/Balance.
