[details=My Thoughts][spoiler]
So Let’s go through scenarios here. He’s laying 19 damage if I figure that he can lay Battle Suits (16 without it). So if I’m looking to end it I gotta do it now, or I gotta prevent 14 of that damage. Here’s the deck right now:
Pillage
Bird’s Nest
Careless Musketeer
Crash Bomber
Makeshift Rambaster
Charge
Bloodlust
Desperation
I’d need to draw the other desperation, + some combination of either Musketeer + Bloodlust/charge, or Pillage + Crash Bomber, and only those combos exactly (both of them actually) to get 3 damage on base +2 he’d have to take by attacking. Bird’s nest or Rambaster or an awkward combining would mean he tramples me. Those are long odds… he really did a great job overwhelming the board, and I needed to tech Kidnapping badly to combat that.
Alternatively I can max out Rook, which only loses to Origin Story, but he could simply not attack and wait to get an Origin Story next draw… I’d have needed a Thunderclap to get the job done, that probably would have been a better choice than all the desperation.
I think I’ve pretty well lost, clearly out of my element, but I suppose I’ll try the desperation play so I at least have a shot!
