Yeah, I was tempted to go for buffed Lich’s Bargain as well, but I like having gold, which means I dislike sacrificing workers. As for my float, that’s pretty simple… aside from collecting gems and amassing Skeletons, I didn’t see that there was anything appealing I could do during the damage prevention period. Given that you’ve shown a willingness to cast Lich’s Bargain even when it does damage your base, I didn’t think I could compete with that using just Bone Collectors. Playing stuff before it could do anything would just lock me into those plays, whereas by waiting I keep my options open.

Okay, that’s not quite as bad as I expected, but close. If he has another LB in hand (and he probably does), he could hit 5 Skeletons next turn. Checking his resources… he won’t have enough to Garth fetch a Lord afterwards, but he will have enough to play one from hand. So, if he has LB, Skeletal Lord, and Pirate Gunship in hand, I can preserve 2 units by spending $2 and a card now… is it worth it? I’m thinking no. But, I’d better build a Tower in case he summons a Lord of Shadows… and I have a feeling I may need Doom Grasp to remove a Tech III unit next turn, so let’s grab some of those. Now let’s examine my resources… I expect to have $16 next turn, but may only have $14… $8 for max Garth + $4 for Doom Grasp = 12, which means I could summon Midori now, but wouldn’t be able to maxband him. Even if I don’t need to Doom Grasp, I can’t afford to maxband both heroes, which means there’s probably no point in summoning him now.

That’s a relief, he didn’t have a Skeletal Lord in hand. In hindsight, though, it would have been better to play Midori so he could attack. For some reason, I just didn’t expect the attack to be meaningful, but it appears I was wrong about that. Oh well, this play is good enough on its own.

I feel like my deck has a significant advantage in this matchup, but you still had me worried you would get a tech III unit out on T4. I guess the odds of that working weren’t great, but it was a significant enough threat to have me on the defensive. GG WP. Do you want to run it back or random new stuff?

Rushing Setsuki, eh? I wonder if his plan is to swarm Students? I wouldn’t think so after the epic DeGrey drop last game, but… if not that, he must want the passive card draw from her maxband. Still, from my point of view, she’s the least threatening hero. I think I should aim to cheat in T-Rexes, and if he swarms Ninjas, I’ll try to bring in DeGrey after getting a T-Rex or 2, and before his Ninjas get a chance to attack. I think this can work, although I could be in trouble if he manages to squeeze in Zane and Detonate my workers before I can build my Tech II.

I have a bit of regret for not playing a card during T1 to shorten my cycle, but I expect gold to be a limiting factor, and the only $1 card in my T1 hand was Smoker, which I Do Not Want. For the same reason, I’m going with Collectors. Next turn is when I have to start making harder decisions.

Well, now… isn’t this interesting? He sure seems to be in a hurry to play those Calypsos, and the Flagbearer? But why? I guess he wants to ensure his T5 attack has its choice of targets. That kind of tempts me to aim for Lord of Shadows before T-Rex. May not be a bad idea anyway, considering I’ll be able to slip the Bone Collectors past his patrollers. In choosing my tech card, I need to plan my expenses. I’ll have $8 next turn and it costs $6 to maxband Garth, which means I can buy a worker, raise a Skeleton, and fetch a Skeletal Lord. So, I think I should tech in 2 tech III units. It seems like he’s not aiming for large quantities of Ninja tokens, so I suspect his plan is to use those Calypsos to take out my Skeletal Lord, or perhaps Garth? But oh, now I realize I’m in trouble. If I play both Collectors, I won’t trigger a reshuffle… If I hold one back… I’ll have a 40% chance. So, I have to do it. Now, then… my tech III units will be… T-Rex. He has better stats than Shadow Lord, and I can use him to kill the Calypsos to prevent him from being sidelined. Shadow Lord would have a harder time protecting my factory.

I forgot about the Flagbearer when choosing the T-Rex! I should have gone for Lord of Shadows, I could have just not patrolled with any essential units and he would only be able to detect one thing with a Tower. What a blunder. Well, it’s kind of a moot point now anyway. I could max Rook for defense, though I expect him to just be sidelined, it’s better than letting him be killed, and I can threaten Earthquakes. The question is, do I really tech in Earthquakes? He’s going Anarchy, which means Nature Reclaims may be a better choice. Tower may also be a good idea, considering Lizzos and Monkeys have hasty stealth. Midband Midori is also tempting for Skeleton buffs, but too vulnerable to stealthy attacks.

Okay, break stuff. Teching another Marauder and Surprise Attack, haste FTW. Do I go all-out to break the tech 2 though, and leave Zane / Sets open to counter? Or just break the tower? That seems better, I’m killing all the skeles so a Lord or other T2 stuff isn’t all that scary. Next turn maybe Tank + T3, maybe Surprise Attack (+T3 if BC attacks?)

My Thoughts

Continue killing things and breaking stuff I think, I should be able to close out just with Sharks and Anarchy T2 stuff, but we’ll tech a Fox’s Den Students as well for good measure. Might be asking to get Doom Grasp’d or Snapped out but so be it. Worst case I go sharks + tech 3
