This is certainly going to be a tough match. Not only is Zhavier very strong, but his deck is incredibly scary.
For now, I’m not playing a hero, not even Rook, because of red starter’s explosive power. I might not even next turn, because thunderclap would be an excellent tech to kill me. I’m going to have to be conservative and defend intelligently. Taxmen will be strong, as always, and I’ll likely need a tower.
I knew it was coming, and I didn’t give away free levels. Good.
Now, he’s going to have to expend quite the resource cost to kill Zane, and if he doesn’t there’s a chance I can draw into and play sharks next turn, or just tech up.
Good momentum swing, Zane.
If he preteched his crashbarrows, which is pretty likely, I don’t have a lot of options left.
He’ll probably break my tech 2, so my best choice is just to slam maxband Rook. Wish I had an extra gold so I could brick thief too.
Ok well, I have two options: Defend and tech up, or defend with Rook. Since I have no rook spells, I’m just going to tech up, since hitting gunship basically wins me the game. So here’s hoping I don’t now immediately lose to crashbarrows!
Tech 2 card(s)
Get Paid - ($9)
Maxband Drakk - ($5)
Crash Bomber kills Gunpoint sneakily, deals 1 to tech 3 - ($4)
Max Cal - ($2)
Discard to give Cal stealth, breaks tech 3, base t 12
Heroes’ Hall - ($0)
Well, I did forget about Calamandra stealth too, but nice to not see crashbarrows. Taking this opportunity to really set him back, as it will hopefully give me enough PRESENCE to stop him from doing anything other than maxband Rook, which I’ll probably respond with and put big fat defence in my patrol zone, hopefully leading to GUNSHIPS.
So all in all, looking ok for now. FOR NOW.
Tech 2 card(s)
Get Paid + float - ($15)
Mid Drakk - ($10)
Crashbarrow - ($7)
Mad Man - ($6)
Crashbarrow kills first steam tank
Mad man and Crash Bomber kill second steam tank

One less steam tank, and maybe I coulda gotten through. Well played. Also if I had gotten extremely lucky, and drew the pirate gang commander, that would have been fun.
