Jandra and haunt… I guess Rook should help ! Probably heading for a Tower next. Let’s play defensively for once.

I have a couple of options to explore, but all of them involve getting my Tech 2 building up and running. So that needs to happen as quickly as possible. Marto has better Heroes and Tech 1 units than I do, and his cheap and numerous buffing abilities can effectively counter my runes. Sensei's Advice, Two-Step, and Aged Sensei provide flexibility by allowing him to choose how large or small he wants each unit to be. By applying buffs, his starters become beefy enough to handle the opponent's Tech 1 units. Likewise, his buffed Tech 1's can stand toe-to-toe with many Tech 2s (mine at least). Marto likes to pick and choose his fights so that he gets the kill while his attacking units hang on with a sliver of life. Then the Monk heals them up. Conversely, he isn't afraid to suicide his heroes for the greater good (like I just did). Healing instead of replacing units is a self-evident, cost-effective gameplan. He swings the economy in his favor, keeps as many units alive as possible, and then floods the board after constructing a Turn 4 Tech 2 building. *Note- Tech 2 units are almost an afterthought for him. He gets everything done with his starters and Tech 1 units. He'll use the Tech 2s as blockers or to deliver a lethal base shot if he needs them at all. He'll probably look at constructing a HH on Turn 2 along with his Tech 1 building. Having shown a propensity in my first two games to build up an air force, he may think twice about that HH. I'm looking for him to Tech some combination of Sparring Partner, Bird's Nest, and Fencer on Turn 2, probably Turn 3 as well, but it's too early to tell. I'm also curious to see if he builds that Heroes Hall. Finally, his buffs mainly come from spells, for which I have three possible counters. I can try to keep his heroes off the board (especially River and her ongoing Two Step), this plan is impractical to the point of being delusional, I can Tech a Carrion Curse and try to pull off a high risk/high reward play, or I can worry less about where the buffs are coming from and concentrate more on where they are ending up. That is to say, try to kill his units before he's had a chance to buff them. Counters one and three require board presence and unit pressure while counter two relies on a heavy dose of luck. All three require a quick Tech up, so that's where we'll start.

Short term: two options: I can kill Haunt and count on the healing, or trade with Jandra (killing haunt as well). The first option would be nice against another Codex, but it loses so hard to both sickness and bloodlust that I can't take the risk (killing both Monk and Grave while I've no way to get a revenge kill except lucky 2x Nimble Fencer, if ever I tech them). Grave + Sensei while Monk trades seems neat, as in the end he traded 5 gold and 2 cards to 4 gold and 1 card while being P1, ie as I have the eco advantage. For sure he has options not to let me gain too much board presence, but for now I feel fine. Now, how to patrol ? Sensei Techn and Grave Lookout offers the best protection to Sickness, but what about Bloodlust ? Drakk + Bloodlust + Crashbomber would hurt, but even so, that'd be a pretty good teching + draw for a good-but-not-game-ending trade (2 cards, 3 gold and gain 2 lvls to 0 cards from techn, 3 gold).

Long run: as I can't Heroes' Hall early, I must forget birds (or skip hero, but I won't do that). Spar + Fencer seems fine, as well as double Spar to beat disease, but it wont' help much against crashbombers and Taxmen, if any. Double Fencer lose to Taxman if I don't have Sensei's advice… So I'll stick to spar + fencer, probably pick Birds + Fencer, and then tech up. The usual Strength tech II seems fine overall but I may favor Discipline, for both Mind-parry Monk and big Vigor Adepts for readiness. The truth is I've no way to compete with Crashbarrows until Tech III (Finesse or Strength offer swift strike) or Max Rook, so I must seize a big eco/board advantage before that.

Looks like you forgot to tech.

@marto, please redraw your hand with the 2 tech cards added to the deck. Final totals should be 5 in hand, 4 in deck.

Giving him the Tech Draw was the right call. But man, he can make whatever kind of play he chooses now. He can come strong if he Teched 2 Fencers. He can defend with a reactionary wall if he Teched 2 Partners. The only thing he can't do is bring out the Bird's. The two viable options that I can see are to strike hard or defend and Tech up. An all-out offensive on his part would blow his money and use a good amount of the cards he has in hand. It's highly unlikely that he Teched 2 Fencers from the jump. If I had a Sparring Partner in my codex, I'd bring it out as quickly as possible. Plus, economically, it doesn't make a lot of sense to come strong. If he could kill GPT, Orpal and break my Tech 1, he might consider it. I'm likely to face a Fencer/Partner/possibly Midbanded Grave combo, depending on whether he constructs his Tech 2 building. Unfortunately, my idea of board presence and unit pressure were swallowed whole by a 2 gold Tech 1 building. I could have gotten the Monk off the board if I had gone without a worker or held off on my building for a turn. Both plans were counterintuitive to my goal of Teching quickly. Which is the only way I can see myself winning this matchup. I’m still eyeing that Carrion’s Curse, though Bloodlust and Kidnapping seem to be the practical spell choices if I go that route. For now, I’ll tech some ground units and see if that Tech 2 is incoming. My second GPT would certainly help this situation. Teching in another Sickness is a possibility as well. If I lose my Tech 1 having Jandra as a backup might work. I need to search the codex rules database to find out if Grave's Sword Rune is considered combat damage. If it is, that sort of untimely demise would be like a grenade going off in a foxhole.

Bad news. Without both Sensei and Hook I can't easily deal with GPT. No need to fear any Zane/lust as long as Orpal remains though. I don't think I can reasonably hope to strike hard soon, so I'll build up my tech II, using the fact that I can't be hit too hard on next round.

Enough with the walls of text. Now I implement counter number 3 (kill the units before he buffs them), and see if it buys me the time I need. Snapback will cost $5 this turn with no hero on the board.

Not drawing any Tech II means I've no choice but to Snapback. Whoever I bring out gets a hero kill, Zane by sheer lvl up, Drakk thanks to midband and spells, if any. And I can't save money for my next turn due to GPT :frowning: I don't regret my early teching up, though. Witspur being already very low on cards and not building a very big board presence cheers me up.

On next turn I must favor MPM, while I’d have preferred a big body, because of both Orpal’s stuff and Kidnapping. Maybe I’ll skip worker and play both, or start going down on cards with worker + MPM + Spar + hero, but I’m not sure to draw the second Adept for the turn after…

No worker this turn is how it’s gonna have to be. I considered a Tower instead of a Tech Lab. Cuz Birds/Dragons is still a thing. But he hasn’t shown them yet, so I’ll hold off. Tech Lab suits the occasion, and I don’t mind floating the $2. I foresee a stacked line ready to buff up again on turn 7. Except this time it will have some Tech 2 units and his choice of heroes. On this upcoming turn, I want to use as few cards as possible, but Deteriorate may come in handy. We’ll see how it shakes out. *I thought my draw for last turn was sub-par. I knew I was holding two dead cards in my hand. This turn’s draw, well, it could have been so much better. I had a 40% chance to pull a hasted Tech 2 unit. I’ll count my blessings. Sickness or the Rogue would have been worse.

No big surprise, though witspur not workering may convince me to do the same. I assume he teched Barrows and anarchy stuff (Marauders/monkeys), ie cheap hasty things that hit hard and keep being playable with few workers. I could bet on him not teching Kidnapping because of MPM and not playing it, but that's risky, and I may very well not draw any before turn 8… The MPM + partner + Grave line leaves me with gold float, but not enough for a Tower, so GPT could wreck my board off, and MPM would be very hard to protect, especially if any Crashbarrow is drawn. Adept won't stop the latter any better (well, at least, that's no free levels), but at least he'll slay any other attacker.

My first thought is- that Tech 2 unit I was hoping to draw last time would have made a big difference this turn. My second thought is- this looks bad. If he’s holding two Dancing Fencers, he could break my Tech 2. He’s going to know that he dodged a bullet when I don't bring out a hasted Tech 2 unit, and he'll probably attack with everything. All I can do is make it as painful as possible. I need to eliminate the Adept. His "ready" ability must be dealt with. And I'll have to go without a worker again, which hurts. This feels like the beginning of the end. I'll Tech my Gunships on a hope and a prayer, but they'll probably never see the board. *I drew better units this turn. Hopefully I'll get a chance to use them.

Wow, so sad I don't have Hook in this hand… I could ban all heroes with a Snapback -> Orpal, then double Fencers + Advice, but that's costly and let me super exposed to tech II counterstrike. As witspur has no real anti-hero, I guess I'll just wall off with Rook, as two barrows can't take it down if Drakk dies. I'd like to build a Tower to counter any Anarchy stealthies, but that means a lower board presence… Lizzo should be OK, as with so few workers, paying 4 for killing a Fencer wouldn't hurt too much, and with Grave in Elite, he must trade and can't get a free kill. Monkey would hurt more, as it's cheaper and would be a decent trade to MPM, or worse, killing Fencer then Orpal -> STW… In the end, I hope my eco advantage will suffice to compensate any stealth-heavy attack, and Rook to stop standard blood agression. Teching a second YLD for offensive fliers and birds to cover them up from gliders.

Desperate times, desperate measures. I’m only pulling three cards. Four if he takes out my Technician. My discard pile is stalled for a turn, though. It will allow a Gunship to catch up to the Tech 3 building I’m hoping to construct. Unfortunately, too many turns without a worker has led to a clogged deck.

"

Since you don’t have 10 workers yet, you should still be teching 2 cards every turn.

Thoughts

Hmmm, killing MPM this way was well thought, but I'm fine with my lien either way, as my board could've been slaughtered otherwise. I'm still ahead in terms of cards, workers and board, even before I play, so that's good news. With only 3 cards, I'm not that much afraid, as Barrow + Rogue would kill Rook but even so he'd have done the job. What worries me more is not having teched another MPM, so being quite vulnerable to Kidnapping; I hope he didn't tech any becuse of MPM though. Patrolling River in Elite in case of Monkey/Lizzo, Adept in Lookout for kidnapping.

Probably there is some error in the spreadsheet, but I think the teching is fine, as witspur has 16 cards in hand+deck+discard, 5 workers and 1 or board, total 22, which is what you’re supposed to have by turn 7 when teching twice each turn.

I guess I had missed Teching my cards, because after posting the turn I noticed I was two short. I believe the edited version above shows which two cards were added. I figured it would be okay since I didn’t reshuffle this turn and just ended up adding them to my ever expanding discard pile. If I need to go back and correct something else, or even redraw my current hand, just let me know. It’s not a problem.
