Wow, dreams come true, or should I say nightmares
Looking forward to this match
Have to give this some thought before I make my first move

As expected: Pressure from the very start. Did draw neither Elite Training nor my Battle Suits - bummer.
No tech1, just float 3?
I suppose I will assume that was in fact the intention and play on, can always replay this turn if it was a mistake w/ nothing much revealed

I suspect Unphase was the tech for this situation, so I spose I play to allow the Nullc + Suits possibility (it’s 35% if I don’t give the techn) of a kill and make sure I don’t have a hero on 3hp for an unphase kill. It occurs to me that Lich’s Bargain would be amazing here and harmony requires a combo draw, but I will tech for it anyway; feels more fun.

I played the Fading Argonaut on the Elite Spot because I didn´t want Frozenstorm to play Sacrifice the Weak on him. But it was a poor choice, I think. As a Squad Leader he would have needed to commit and sacrifice his Pestering Haunt at least, who is quite annoying now because it will help him to kill Onimaru. It´s not a good start at all.
Technically you cannot Elite Training the Nullcraft as it is a targeted Buff.
You totally should Elite Training the Oni to keep him safer anyway, seeing as you don’t need the buff on Nullcraft to get the Vandy kill.
So I am going to play as if that is what you did and Oni is 2+1/3+2armor, that seem reasonable to you?
Thank you Frozen Storm. You are right of course, my concentration is a little off at the moment. I also edit the damage on my base. Thanks for pointing it out!
That’s okay, take your time w/ plays if you feel rushed

Oh BC + Elite eh? Okay then. Can’t counter kill then either (not unless I want to waste the levels, arguably worth given still no tech1…?) Naw, I will get Imp and play to earn the levels. I think playing this Boot Camp + Elite bully game is in my favor, I can Discord the soldiers to bits so I think I lay Garth out as bait. Go ahead and kill him Unity, it works for me XD
Is your Skeleton patroling? And Garth?
Yes, scav and techn, weird I thought I had written them in there…
No prob. I already thought that it looked too peaceful

I have to recover my hand, so making decisions this time is quite easy for me (that is not to say that they are the best ) If he has Discord, I have a problem. But at least I threaten Art of War which I hope he feels the need to answer. Nether Drain and Doom Graps come to mind. Nether Drain would be nice for me, I could get more soldiers. Doom Grasp is more likely but it costs him more. I hope he takes the bait of Art of War. If FrozenStorm allows it, I would prefer to go down a more sneaky path. The hardest decision to make this turn is what to worker: Neo Plexus or Forgotten Fighter? I would like to keep Neo Plexus for Sacrifice the Weak. But Forgotten Fighter can always come in handy in the late game. Onimaru stays off the grid: I fear Vandy´s Shadow Blade.
Drew neither Boot Camp nor Elite Training: Bummer.
Not exactly going to plan for either of us at the moment I think

Well he didn’t take the bait and I didn’t get Discord or Fencer on the RS, so this is actually a bit of a mess… I could try to suicide garth into Oni and get the kill, but that’d leave me with a very hurt River primed for a counter-kill. I think I’m better off to tech in a Doom Grasp and just allow the maxband oni for a bit. I don’t think he expected Oni to survive right away, so if there is AoW it probably is still in discard.
Discord is coming up so I spose we let Nullcraft live one more turn too, as StW ditches a skeleton from me as well. All right then, Harmony + Det gets me a dancer, another skeleton and I’m pretty safe, next turn Discord + Vandy + maybe max out garth and bring the fencer for free? Something like that? Sure. I can worker StW I think, it’s not terribly useful to me at this point in the game.

Onimaru stays off the grid - away of a potential Shadow Blade. I wished he had built his Tech II one turn earlier. I had a different plan in case he’d go Finesse. Now I think I´m well adviced to build a Tech Lab. Wanted to go mainly Airborne but Leaping Lizard and Cloud Sprite make this too dangerous now? Also I have to find a way to deal with his Skeletons and Dancers. A Xenostalker could be helpful. But still: I try to postpone the Tech Lab one turn. If I could get 2 Air Hammers up the Air maybe I could catch him off guard. But if he gets his Dancers and Skeletons dancing before…it could become a Nightmare. Back to Onimaru: What if he tries to rush me with Nimble Fencers? He didn´t play Tech I units yet? What is more dangerous: Shadow Blade or Fencers? To patrol or not to patrol…
Shouldn´t your Discard Pile be empty?
No, I apologize my DC Draw statement was off, I had 5 w/ 4 deck, played 2, workered 1, so my last turn I dc’d 2 and drew 4, leaving deck empty and discard stacked.
Generally speaking if there is a discrepancy in my card state, the end of turn Hand/Deck/Discard is the one I make more certain is correct. Apologies again, I’ve now corrected it.
Does that change your play or shall I proceed?
tech II what?
