Imping him down to 3 cards. Teching BC and Dark Pact. Thought about Shadow Blade to go heavy discard, but seems an expensive card to play as P1 when I’ve already played a $3 Imp.
Deteriorate and Vandy clear Fargo, and don’t mind going down a card as I’m drawing Dark Pact next turn. Could deal an addition 3 damage to base or Tech1 with my two units, but prefer to patrol to avoid losing Javelineer cheaply to Nullcraft or Imp to Stewardess.
Teching the second BC plus a Plague Spitter – could be useful anti-air against Nullcraft or Future Tech2, as well as a decent SQL patrol against Hyperions.

Vandy is left on 1HP, so may fall to Nullcraft, but he’s given decent value already (killed Fargo and Argo). I’ve $5 spare after playing the second BC, so building a Tech Lab Disease as well as Tech2 Demonz. Will give a lot of flexibility to Garth’s max.

Neither Tech2 unit in hand, but enough firepower to break his Tech2 while using Orpal’s mid to permanently sideline Mox.

Unfortunately drew neither of my Tech2 units this turn. Still, his T3/4 techs haven’t cycled into deck yet, so he won’t be playing Tech2 units this turn either. So think it’s worth an expensive Orpal play that puts a -1/-1 rune on Mox, will prevent 4atk from Mox over his next 2 turns.
Teching Death and Decay – with his Tech1 on 3HP, possibility to break both tech buildings.

1/3 chance he drew an Archon, so think I need to break through. Can break his Tech
Lab, at the cost of going down 2 cards. I get 2 good attacking units down (Gorgon, Dozer), and still have a chance of playing Death&Decay next turn.

Whiffed the 3/6 chance of drawing Death and Decay, which would have worked out well for me.
Think I need to build Tech3 and draw as much as possible to maximize chances of a Zarra in hand next turn (untargetable by Archon).
…
Crummy draw – neither of the 2 Zarramondes, nor Dark Pack to help draw into them.
