Right! So we’re in similar boats with time limits, so I will try to play quickly! No essays!

Starting Hand

Dinosize, Tiny Basilisk, Tiny Basilisk, Centaur, Rampant Growth

Thoughts

So hard not to wander into analysis paralysis with so many units on the board. The only serious question is, am I better off with a Centaur or two basilisks (and skipping a worker)? Or one basilisk and floating some gold?

Shooting completely from the hip, let’s go two basilisks. I really don’t want him to kill that ancient, at least until turn after next. I want two of them.

I will go ahead and kill Drakk to minimize the chances of kidnapping, and to buff Midori.

Moment’s Peace would be nice right about now.

Tech

Blooming Elm, Giant Panda

Skipping worker!

You’re having fun. I can tell. :slight_smile:

65

Sadly I thought of a better play since I posted. But in the car now. Oh well!

Could have had same result except firebat would be unharmed

66

Hehe. It’s always that way for me, too! Firebat’s not gonna matter though – what you really needed to do was patrol Jaina!

Thoughts

No patrollers. I have my two ancients. This is basically a puzzle scenario: Can I kill him?

I think . . . yeah I think so. Let’s run the numbers.

P1T7

  • Collect 8 gold (8)
  • Blooming Ancient . . . I’ll call this one Jake. Let’s say Elwood’s on the table. Elwood can act this turn, Jake can’t. 1 rune to Elwood for Jake’s arrival. (4)
  • Argagarg, wisp. 2 runes each for both Jake and Elwood. (2)
  • Playful Panda, wisp. 2 runes each for each Jake and Elwood. (0)
  • Jake gives his 4 runes to Elwood, who now has 9 of them. Elwood hits your base for 11 damage.
  • Elwood gives 9 runes to the Merfolk Prospector, who now has 12 of them. Merfolk Prospector hits your base for 13 damage, GG!

Oh nice. What an awesome combo. Did not see that threat.

Thanks for playing and enjoy your trip
