Think

Black and white. No vandy. A strong combination, but with few answers for a big rook, and they’re all hero based.

Think

Well, I take the kill and wall for now. Choosing turtle over brother because maybe I get healing value, but if I don’t, no big loss. Of course teching birds and fencer for strong aggression here.
I’m not certain what my midgame plan is. It depends on what happens turn 3. With no birds, it’s probably not earthquake. Perhaps I should’ve double teched. No matter.

#4

Shouldn´t Rook be a 0/2 because Poisonblade Rogue delas damage in form of -1/-1 runes?

She gets the ability only when she attacks. “Attacks: Gets armor piercing and deals damage to units and heroes in the form of -1/-1 runes this turn.”

Well we take the kill here, wither so no damage to my board. Grab more haste and discord to deal with whatever defence he puts up. Next turn, we can do anything. Tech 2? Birds? Zane? Maxband Rook? Who knows. My options are varied and powerful.

Really unfortunate to not draw the cards I needed there. That cost me a lot. I guess I’m going in for a strong hero gameplan, so I guess I’ll just pivot into gunships while he works out how to get past two lives.

Lots of options here, but I think this is best. Clears his board and makes it very tough for him to destroy my tech 3. Damn, didn’t draw gunship yet. Oh well. I still have a lot of good options. No birds so I can’t defend against dragon at all… just have to hope he doesn’t have it.

Think

Very unfortunate I didn’t have my gunship and that he had such a big board come out. Lots of different lines I could’ve taken, but I think it was very important to eliminate the big threats. Hopefully my tech 3 stays alive and I can slam gunships, but if not, I’ll get to lay down birds to start ruining his backline stuff.
