Pretty nice the cards lined up so I could manufacture truth the same turn I play my Aven, maximizing my Mirror potential. I smell blood, teching in the hounds!

Edit: Manufactured Truth costs 1g. Thanks @Bryce_The_Rice!

Ok, Arg is coming in, not going to go into Truth vs Arg. Peace is strong, but I want to try Law again. It’s tempting to use either of my 2 remaining cards here. Building Inspector prevents him from teching up without paying some gold, while MT lets me snipe the Prospector.

This was a good turn, but my hand is tiny and he is doing fine otherwise. I don’t have any clue what he’s going for with Balance, but Potent Basilisk seems pretty awesome.

Ah, good news! Quince’s max-band stipulates that if the original thing the mirror is copying dies, the mirror version dies too! Dunno if you want to change your turn, but at the very least you don’t need to Rampant Growth the Mirror Hound.
