Thoughts
I was thinking this might be a better match-up for Adra’s Boulder (since I don’t like it much vs Green and their death-touching basilisk), but Forgotten Fighter in the starter makes that a bit of a liability. That rules out Mythmaking as well. I like Sparring Partner and Rambasa Twins a lot, they play well together and seem well-costed. Fuzz Cuddles on the other feels a bit weak, and inverse power ninja is a card I’ve rarely used (and never effectively). I feel like double teching 2x Sparring Partner just to try and get one immediately isn’t that great (thinking especially about last game and how poor of a draw it was).

Keeping my workforce low to the ground. Origin Story means I can’t play my usual hero-bully game quite as well, so I’m planning to go for Discipline again which has a nice array of units, some that I think are really good against Purple. We shall see! Floating gold for Tech II since I hate feeling that pinch and I tech’d a Fuzz Cuddles because the healing might be nice for some of the bigger tech II units I’m thinking about.

Void Star is pretty good, luckily for him that Nullcraft is providing great defense. I will have to Reversal it to advance to his Tech II again. Now that Origin Story is being cycled, I’m going to replay some heroes for pressure.
I think your buildings should be: Base 17, Tech I 4, Tech II 4. VoidStar is scary!

Feel like I’m almost ready to win, he can Origin Story Graves, but it’s costly. He can’t build anymore tech II and Vir just died, so Geiger shenanigans should be at a minimum?
