Ah, damn it! Think I’ll resign here, I was hoping to Kidnap some Mimics and steal a base kill, but I’ve got no good way to deal with that Basilisk in time first. @FrozenStorm

I think drakk made a comeback possible at all times, but I can see how untargetable was going to be an issue, leaving bloodlust and maxband the primary comeback methods.

Good game!

Good game! Teched in too many units that rely on being hasted from hand, I thnk, Chameleon and Horselord are great with it but too risky without it.

Drakk’s Haste is pretty lynchpin to your codex. All specs benefit from drakk, and blood itself is heavy haste. That meant balance was a good bet for me, and the threats of my growth and finesse turned out to mean balance was your goto as well.

We definitely traded blows quite a bit, exciting game!
