Hmm, so my main advantages in this matchup are efficient burn spells and base damage. Hardy has a path to swing boards with Fencers and Discord and tech up to Gunships. So I have to burn the base down first and force hardy to stabilize. I can’t believe I’m workering Scorch but Bombaster still exists here and I want to keep my options open in case I can open a path for Rambaster actually y’know what let’s just go in with Rambaster

Definitely should’ve patrolled in Elite to at least force a Grappling Hook. Ah well. I think I come out ahead if I throw out a hero and BRO. hardy would have to Grappling a squad leader to another slot and then kill BRO with Zane and kill Jaina with Monkand unfortunately that heals back up. Costs a coin and a card. Leaves 2 coins for a hero like Grave along with Tech 1. With Charge at my disposal, I’m okay with that. Wait no Jaina only dies to Monk if hardy also plays Sensei’s advice, so that’s two cards and 2 coin, 2 coin for tech 1, 1 coin for worker, 1 gold remaining (EDIT: ah right, multicolor penalty, so no gold left, literally no extra board). That’s pretty solid as a trade-off. So which patrol loses less to Sensei’s Advice alone? Looks like BRO in squad leader. I love that Monk has 2 health! I could even patrol Drakk in Elite instead and be prepped for frenzy.

ahm… i’m not sure anymore why i summoned zane… seems like a litte mental blackout in hindsight. there’s definitely no way to protect him if carpe wants him gone.

with midband drakk he can easily clean out everything, no matter how i patrol. put a lobber on top of that and a tech 1 goes up in smoke. i think, i gotta patrol with zane to hopefully prevent that. at least i have two cards in play and will draw for technician. hope to have two taxmen in hand next turn with a functional tech 1

Crash Bomber Charge will kill Squad Leader and ping a damage onto someone else like Zane. Drakk can finish the job. 3 gold so far. If I’m okay spending 3 cards I can throw Mad Man down (4 gold) and midband Drakk (5 gold) for frenzy aura. Mad Man trades with Flagbearer, Rambaster and BRO break tech 1. (Unfortunate that so much damage is wasted but I don’t want Nimble Fencers in play). Can hit Desperation and a Lobber on my tech, just pushing that Tech 1 advantage. Or. I…I can bring the base down to 8 HP. I’M GONNA DO IT.

oh wow… and i was worried about my tech 1… getting pillaged is quite annoying. at least he suicided his crash bomber before pillaging… so i guess i can’t tech up this turn. need to put some bodies down. unfortunately i didn’t draw my second gpt

i’m kind of clueless here. plan is to somehow tech up until gunships. lack of other ideas. maybe fencers would have been better than gpt.a fencer instead of gpt would be super useful this turn to remove drakk with sensei’s advice. hätte hätte fahrradkette as the germans say… does he have desperation already? is it worth to play snapback this turn? that would mean to skip worker. i guess that’s a bad idea after all.

Okay, we can pour gold into clearing the patrol zone. Maxband Drakk, BRO takes out squad lead, Crash Bomber trades with River and bounces Smoker back to hand, Drakk kills Sensei, 4 damage to base. Leaves me with 4 gold. I can HH and uh float 2? Killing Smoker with Drakk better than bouncing to hand probably. I only need 3 damage and I can get that with Ember Sparks, but I need to draw into it fast. Pillage plus Crash also does it. Also, good sign that Taxman came out, that’s not a Nimble Fencer.

Gotta say this game has the blood pumping hard haha

Shouldn´t your Base heal 2 points from 4 to 6?

You would need Bomber´s kleptomaniac Brick Thief now :smile:

It would if Drakk dying hadn’t put it on 3hp prior to the heal :wink:

Hang on, something got messed up on the spreadsheet. Need to review my previous turn. For some reason it didn’t take my tech correctly.
