Thoughts

Tech III break. Youch. Ugh, the way the cards have fallen I won’t have an Archon to remember if my rememberer survives. So I’m teching in more stuff! I don’t think that deck has a good way to stop Art of War? We’ll see I suppose!

Neatly done! I’ll concede to that, you’ve very effectively shutdown all my options. Good game, and best of luck with the rest of the tournament.

Oh, and I was thinking maybe “Jungle Fever” is a catchy name for the deck. :slight_smile:

@FrozenStorm - EricF takes the W!

So you didn’t grab Detonate at any point to answer the Council, just tried to go over the top with Tech III?

The idea was to work around the Council by Remembering units. But by the time I got them down, I was not able to defend them. I don’t know, teching in and then playing Detonate has an opportunity cost that seemed like it may end up ceding the initiative. If I can work around it with Rememberers then the theory was I could maintain board pressure. Obviously it didn’t pan out that way, perhaps I ought to consider Detonate in the future.
