At some point he has to run out of steam, right? Heā€™s only got 3 gold in hand, and I didnā€™t give him any back by killing his Technician. Iā€™ll be quite impressed if he can break it this turn, and also somewhat panicked since Iā€™ll have to rely on luck to get any more T-Rex in hand. As something of an insurance policy, I put Stampede in as an alternate win condition. Now he has to break my Tech III and kill both heroes (since theyā€™ll both keep doing unfair nonsense as long as theyā€™re alive).

I have a turn all finished but didnā€™t have the time to come up with clever descriptions. Didnā€™t feel right to post it as is. I feel like we made a connection and I donā€™t want to lose you!

I think I have to concede here. Without Tech III my hand is not going to make anything happenā€¦ As much as Iā€™ve played this matchup, I donā€™t know how to win as Green against a good Red player.

Thoughts

Going with what feels like the best opening as player 2 red. Bloodrage Ogre lets your opponent set up such that you have to do something youā€™ll regret (they have time to, since theyā€™re player 1), Careless Musketeer is too weak on defense (though it would have been fine here), and the 1-drops are not as useful going second.

Iā€™m not liking that he has such a good blocker, but soon enough Iā€™ll be able to break it if he doesnā€™t attack with it. Iā€™m more worried about whether I can get rid of his Prospectorā€¦ If it survives long enough, itā€™ll mean trouble.

I think Iā€™ve already lost, but itā€™s hard to sayā€¦ My hope is that at some point I can get a hasted Firebird to hit a tech building and kill all his weak units, but I donā€™t know how to get rid of all the frogs in the meantime without overextendingā€¦

FWIW you shorted yourself a gold p2t2

57

I did, but how? Iā€™ve been using the spreadsheetā€¦ Wait, I think I know what happened. I accidentally forgot to move a worker out of my hand on the first turn, so I moved it from the discard pile and clicked Generate, but I never adjusted the actual gold for the new turn. Whoops!

58

Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, but I think thereā€™s little I can do to come back from a blow-out like that. Good game! I feel like Red and Green arenā€™t really the right colors for meā€¦ I can do well with them, but against anyone whoā€™s reasonably good I just fall apart (though part of it could be the play-by-forum format, that canā€™t be the entire issue). Right now Iā€™m trying White in my other forum games and enjoying it, so if youā€™re OK with it Iā€™d like to try Purple and see how that works.

59

Iā€™ll go red again. RNG 68

60

I got 53 again somehowā€¦ Thatā€™s the problem with randomness; you can never be sure. Anyway, you go first.
