My Thoughts

Good for him in the Drakk kill but damn, he’s really trading poorly on cards. Taxmen aren’t going to make matters better for him either. Going blood, so I have plenty of gold to play heroes as well
…
No barrows yet but next turn will be a dousy

Well no birds out, so max rook isn’t a huge threat yet. Zane is so handy, shoving him out of the way so we can take down the board (why isn’t he in technician with that Messenger?), profit in the process, and set ourselves up for annihilation next turn with our double crash barrows. Teching two ember sparks to help with making crash barrow math optimal, and sticking Jaina in front b/c I think he’ll want her around over Drakk, and will patrol Rook in front to absorb the blows.

obviously a bad choice to go so hard on rook and not tech earthquakes. i didnt expect him to last that long, and didnt adjust accordingly.

I don’t really think Earthquake would have helped, as you didn’t have means of damaging my buildings easily anyway.

Also note that your base is at 15 (not 16) from Drakk death, and you have 8 workers (not 9) :slight_smile:

GG WP! Practice makes perfect, happy to play again as you like.

I think maxing rook just for a strong blocker is a solid play, especially if you can Max sets behind him

hmmmm, well, bloodburn huh? well, he might not be as aggressive as i thought. rook can hit dog, then midband…but he’d have free range at my tech 1.

i think the tower will be useful later on as well, and i need something to sink my gold into in the meantime, i dont want to put it into rook, ad i dont want to bring out a second unit because cards in hand are a thing…

aged sensei, and tower is balanced enough for now. i think mythmaking and adr’a boulder should be good to stand against bloodburn. hoping for the double draw…
