That would be fun. However, Reteller’s ability triggers the first two times a unit is removed that turn, regardless of when the Reteller arrived. In the same way, if you play a unit, then maxband Drakk, he can’t give haste to the next unit you play. You could use Second Chances in a staggered way, but unless the opponent’s going heavily into upgrade removal that’ll only happen once.
Aw shucks, its a few less but still over 50 with a reshuffle in there i believe
I’m not sure Hyperions need the buff 
You’d also be running into the 20-gold limit at that point.

Phew, no Tech IIs. Time to break dwardd’s stuff, hasting the Spore Shambler lets me overpower into Onimaru with the Crashbarrow, then pass a rune to the Shoddy Glider to destroy the Tech II. Leaving Geiger out again while he has nothing big to Distort. Tempted to go for War Drums here, but there’s got to be an Origin Story coming, right? I think my deck’s mostly fine as is. I’ve ended up using Drakk, but I don’t want to spread my spell selection across all three heroes if I can avoid it. I’ll put in a Bugblatter, it should help speed things up if dwardd tries to slow me down with chaff.

I’m surprised Prynn is in patrol, given dwarddd’s likely to be up to his usual shenanigans and trying to banish his own Hyperions, but maybe he thought I’d get through anyway.
I think Entangling the Argonaut is the right call here, then Rook in Elite can “safely” make Hyperions trade, two-for-one since dwarddd can’t afford Battle Suits too. Pretty nice, since Geiger and Prynn aren’t around to flicker them. I want to tech in the other Vines in case of an Immortal, though.

eugh this vortoss emblem seems impossible to play (or rather i keep letting prynn die just as i want to play it) now that immortal is actually out imma need a second one cos it is v important; hopefully I have enough danger on the board that he doesn’t feel comfortable just flying a boosted glider (either rune or drakk) into my tech 2 and I think I can just about stop a lone crashbarrow from killing t2

Immortal as expected, hopefully two turns of Moment’s Peace should let me cycle to my other copy of Vines in time. If I hit the base instead of the Tech II, I’d hit it down to 11 if I bring the Bugblatter out. Is that something I want to do? I think I’d rather hit the Tech II, that gets the base down to 13 so not too bad still. I’ll be down on cards, but I might not be playing many next turn if I can get Midori in the air.

hes used two gliders since last shuffle so unless he drew the 1 out if his deck with this shuffle he has none, (i really need a glider counter fast), prynn could void a bug blatter but she doesnt have enough attack to kill midori after being now!ed so looks like big ol onimaru it is, means if i draw an emblem i would hv to suicide a hero to get prynn out but im ok with that, might just patrol max on the frontlines, actually Really want to temporal distortion so will patrol Oni
denied. Tech II is down, so you cannot have 2 heroes online

i dont think there was a more perfect draw I couldve got, was orignally kinda miffed i hadnt drawn a t2 but who needs them when u hv time on ur side

Haha, nah that’s cool, I was relying on Midori to chain Moment’s Peace, but was expecting a Tricycloid instead of Now! on a hero so didn’t put Rook in Squad Leader on turn 8 like I should have done, it was probably going to be downhill from there even without the Origin Story. Well played. @FrozenStorm
I was seeing if I could get a strategy going that didn’t rely on Drakk’s spells, I’m not sure yet whether it’s worth pursuing.
What is the etiquette on reading opponents thoughts post match during a tournament? Because the way I understand the triple elimination bit there is every chance we might play against each other again but I am quite interested to see what you were thinking through this match
And even that is kinda funny because i was teching vortoss emblem to counter kidnap but never managed to play it well (was really hoping to put it on the entangled argonaut, i thought it would be fun making u only able to kidnap a useless unit)
Reading thoughts after the game is absolutely fine. Very useful for improving, in my opinion. They might try a different strategy next time, so you can’t just counter their previous thoughts to win, but it can give you a better idea of strengths and weaknesses in the matchup.
Vortoss Emblem would have been very useful the way I usually play this, going heavily into Drakk, so that definitely wasn’t a bad call.

Had you gone for balance I was definitely going to go past (in part based off your old assessment) looks like you wouldve been happy with that this time round! And looks like based on your previous thoughts you didnt think blood would do well against present but i get that the moment’s peace was meant to sort that out… still interesting to see the comparison (and i for one am thankful for the how in depth your thoughta often are)

Interesting to see how my evaluations have changed over a year, thanks for pulling that out. I used to favour Strength more, because hasted Barbarbarians was the original plan for the deck, but I’ve used it less recently because its methods to reach the backline are awkward.
