hmmm, well, patrolling GN #2 in elite so he will survive any Geiger, Now, + Unit combos he puts out there.
going for the big hit next turn, as I am pretty sure I am okay with Ebflow Archon (never thought I would say that) given i can potentially wreck his tech 3 and 2 next turn.
this game will be decided next turn one way or the other. great game no matter what happens.
OOORRRRR, he could Geiger, Now, a Shimmering Ray, with NC to kill GN, which would TANK my strategy. Better to be safe, putting Rook in SQL.

Nice use of Fox’s Den School – invisibility makes Archon much less powerful, and Rewind not great either. Spending on max Vir rather than units, his HP can withstand IPN swift strike and I’ve a Seer coming next hand that can make the Mech Token arrive. Teching Assimilate so I can grab that invisibility building if Vir and my Tower are both around.

Best I can do. Hopefully draw good enough hand to keep the pressure up next turn.
FDS for win condition. This might bite me in the butt though…
GG, very well played! Purple starter into Past is working out too slow, I think, and your early Ninjutsu Tech2 build is very effective against it. Fox’s Den School was a really good tech – even if I had managed to play an Archon wouldn’t have been able to see your units to bounce them.
Interesting matchup, happy to keep on if you are. I’ve seen @Shadow_Night_Black do very well in it as Purple, I need to work out how to use its resources better.
I’ve never used Fox Den’s School, and it seemed like my only option once I saw you went tech 3. I’ve lost against purple so many times (here’s looking at Shadow night black).

hmmm, interesting let’s see if i can get value out of grave before he drops an origin story. even if he does, delaying his tech 1 is pretty huge. eliminates the value of tech 2 present haste
I didn’t move my workered card to the worker slot, so will redo the reshuffle-draw. I’ll end up with 4/4 cards in hand/discard not 5/3, and 7+1 economy. Just checking in case that changes your turn.

Origin Story tech puts me ahead here, and I’m not disadvantaged by having Tech1 down for a turn. Teching Undo plus a Tricycloid, plan to go Present, maybe tech Lab Future too?
Willing to go down to 3 cards for the extra body in patrol, as I could lose one to Entangling Vines, and don’t want to give cheap levels to Rook or have Tech2 building down. I’ve enough ways to build up hand size later (Geiger mid, Hyperion, Temporal Research, reaching 10 workers).

this FEELS over. let’s see if that’s actually true. depends on if he went heavy with hyperions or tricycloids.
Plasmo in T1 hand, so see if this works out better. It’s forecast to arrive T4, maybe dissuades him from the T3 Tech2. I’ll also not bother with Past this time, likely go for the solid Present tech route Argonaut+Stewardess -> Hyperion/Tricycloid.
