I think my lack of ability to kill your tech 3 means I’ve lost, my mistake building a graveyard rather than maxing vandy turn 2 cost me. And from there my ability to draw my metamorphosis the turn after you killed vandy signalled my doom as with my inability to kill your tech buildings, despite having an effective 9 gold lead, meant I lost this game

and orpal is 2/1, also

[Shadow_Night_Black]

GG from me then, I forgot about tower damage, and I have no way of dealing with PGS. I was hoping you were unlucky enough not draw it. I will happily take up your offer on advice, I think my main mistakes were,
T1: Jandra instead of vandy + jav would allow me a lot more pressure on turn 2 without going down on cards
T2: Graveyard instead of max vandy turn 2/Poison blade rouge (not nice because being down to 3 cards on T2 is not fun)
T3: giving you an extra gold with the zane trade with no heros to gain those levels was bad, a better play would be Thieving Imp in SL
T4:Pushing for Vandy’s ult here, not a bad plan but the heros hall meant next turn I had no tower option to counter the hasted stealth of Anarchy
T5: Teching meta here was far too late, should have been teched the turn before, and the reason I never had it in time.
T6: Failing to keep some board presence from the previous turn, I cant kill tech 2, and this is where it finally fall sapart. The skipped workers on my next few turns also help to stop my drawing the answers I need

[Legion]

For PSG, by checkng my hidden stuff, u can see that i drew the first 1 (i teched both) at startdeck, i had 2 cards left in deck when i built tech III so i knew that i would have drawn PGS.
That is why the sensei in looky. otherwise you could have doom grasp (if u had it) vir, orpal mid to kill sensei, orpal and HE kill tech 3.
But i made the math. from 9 summon garth ->7. garth start skele ->6 sac ckele for DG->2. then u could not have enough to summon something and sac it for orpal mid to kill sensei cuz extra gold.
Also imho u did a series of misplays from start, that brought me to aim to tech III off the bat.
T1 was perfect, a very strong opening for black. If u had sac the weak or deteriorate i was in a bad spot. So no heroes to not give free lvs for vandy and wait for an opening.
then u both summoned gravey (never use upgrades and buildings against future. so no battle suits, training g, graveyard, shrine of forbidden knowledge, etc) and let urself exposed to a maxzane. Against zane always be prepared for a max zane shenan or a zane + surprise attack burst. Playing imp in scav instead of sql was bad. up to that point i had spent 7 gold (maxzane) and 0 cards to get rid of 5 gold (midvandy+skele) and a card geting a gold back. that way i traded 5 gold (7maxzane-2scav loot) and 0 cards to kill 8 gold and 3 cards! yay me!
Imo both baron and shadow blade are bad here. BAron is basically telling me u do not have tech II in the near future, and in comparison, imo bone collector is way better (cost 2 less and generates free skeles for draws through garth or patrolling). Shadow blade is imho expensive for that effect unless u aim to hand control ur opponent. same for me, reversal is more about getting rid of a heavy unit for 2 turns rather than sidelining/killing something. sickness just to plague 1 thing imo is bad too. rematch? my time to go first tho

[Shadow_Night_Black]

sure! Im going to swap to a favourite of mine though, [Past], Necro, Growth
