Nullcraft

Disease > Mox, so can’t do that
Truth > Plasmodium, so can’t do that
Blue control of good units / spells.
Basically, I just want to play a bunch of value Tech I stuff, and then win with Gunships, which aren’t easily answered by anything neigutten can present.

So, Hero, Nullcraft, or Battle Suits? I think I can just start with the Suits, because I’m almost certainly grabbing Stewardess + Cadet for my first tech, and having them at 3 attack is important

[details=P1, Turn 3]So, neigutten went with trading 3 gold for 2, which is reasonable as Player 2. My hand is:
Neo Plexus
Plasmodium -> Worker
Forgotten Fighter
Nullcraft
Overeager Cadet

Which has an option to Nullcraft + Zane trade with Bigby (an even trade, assuming I continue to get value from the craft, which isn’t a gaurantee facing Disease. I think I’ll just grab Oni plus units, and draw 4.

Tech in “anti hero” stuff … um … I guess a 2nd Overeager Cadet and a Disguised Monkey?

I think the concede timing is one round to late, but I guess I can concede now as well ^^

GG! :smiley:

GG. This was a good demonstration of why Overeager Cadet isn’t an “A” level Tech 1 - if I didn’t have Battle Suits down, they would have been easy pickings for whatever 3 HP units you were using.

That was also a rather unfortunate T4 hand.
