Do we have to splash color in draft? I want to go with mono if it’s legal pick.

316

I don’t see any rule against it. [Truth]/Balance/Discipline vs. Mono-Red then.

That’s enough float to max Zane, but right now I just need to stall until I get some Basilisks deployed. Porky’s not a perfect choice, but he should at least require some investment to take down. It’s either that or switch to another hero and deploy the Director, but my other heroes are really better suited for the late game, so I’ll just wait for Grave to become available again.

No need for this, the Mirror copy got trashed when its original died.

Right, in that case I will deal 2 to your base instead. Above revised

328

I’ll have to resign it here. I should have fielded some Gemscout Owls to block those Firebirds, but I don’t see a realistic path to recovery now that they’re so well established and my infrastructure is in shambles. Wanna run it back with the same builds or move onto another draft? I’m fine with either.

329

Sure, I will go with the same and go first this time.
