Vs Black & Vandy Rich Earth + Hero start looks best. Alternately, I could get Tech I and plan to draw some Tech I stuff next turn off a Young Treant. That seems better than wasting gold on a Rich Earth, but it does put me behind on board a little bit. Stewardesses can wait.

Why not get a skeleton and hold Vandy / Garth back here? Feels likely in this configuration that Vandy gets killed and your Metamorph tech goes to waste, whereas at least with Vandy behind Garth you definitely get a meta off with Orpal, if not behind a Skele you get it for Garth [/details]

I was banking on the idea that after getting through the Gorgon he’d be unable to kill Vandy and would settle for Garth, leaving me up 2 cards and significantly more likely to have the Metamorphosis that I’d teched in. While that didn’t happen this turn, it did guarantee I’d draw it at the end of this turn and also gave me the cards to secure my current board position, which I feel very good about.

Your old skeleton was killed, which I think just means you don’t have a new skeleton, and one extra gold? Let me know if you need to / want to change anything else about your turn.
The skeleton I started my turn with was sacrificed to Garth. I then summoned a new one later, so I only have 1 skeleton and 0 gold. No changes, I think everything is correct.
Oh crap, sorry I totally missed that. Let’s say that I summoned then sacrificed the skeleton to Garth for the card, so I’m up one gold and down one skeleton. Edit on my last turn incoming to reflect that.
