Think the main mistakes youâve been making in these games are doing trades that are too expensive.
eg on your T4 this game you paid $8 + Lobber + level 3 Jaina (combined value ~$13) to kill 2 Bone Collectors + Skeleton + Garth (value ~$7, counting everything on their cost). So net you paid ~$6 to end up with a 4/3 Zane, which is dropping at least $2 in value (if you think that $4 gets a 4/4 Baron), and youâre giving me a technician draw too,
As P1 youâre dropping $1 in economy to P2 each turn, so you really need to be making trades in your favour or youâll fall behind. Iâve mainly been benefiting from these exchanges, not doing anything so smart.
Interesting. So I probably should have patrolled that round, or previously teched in some better value removal. I was expecting that if I didnât clear the board, you would destroy my tech buildings, however I see from what you explained that it was better value to simply defend on T4.
another thing, i kinda of disagree with ur tech choices. instead of giong all lobbers, teching some taxmen and spells would have been better and i mean spells like bloodlust for draak or chaos mirror for zane. Draak could have given haste to collectors that are better bodies and can steal gold.
PLus the fire tech choice seems odd since u did not go for a base race. must say, imo CB dragon is meh, and instead of tech III i would have aimed for firehouse (single) and hotter fire (both) asap since it destroys in one go everything the opponents play forcing bad trades to prevent it.
Thanks Legion your observations are useful. May I ask that the two of you play each other on this thread as Mono Red vs Mono Black in order that I may observe some masters at work and learn from it please?
No problem if you would rather not, I understand.
Failing that, is there a good thread on this forum for Mono red v Mono Black?
You can look up past matches by searching the Forum. Though youâll learn fastest by playing some more games, and seeing what works. Happy to continue, if youâre on. Let me know which of the colours youâd prefer to play.
I think the quotes get added if you copy the entire cell at once, whereas when I copy it on my computer I click enough to be able to highlight individual words, then select all, and that lets me copy and paste without having quotes around it (for⌠some reason⌠Best guess is that the computer thinks this is copying the words themselves as opposed to a cell and its contents). I havenât figured out how to do that the few times I used my phone, so I manually deleted them then.
