I totally forgot you went vanilla White this game when I banked hard on Hotter Fire, as Snapback and Versatile Style really throw a wrench in that! Still, Bloodburn just got insane value this game. Want to go again?

My Thoughts
El Classico red opening again, Elite Dog provides the best trade value against Primus. He could hook or Safe Attacking to avoid, but either of those are okay for me I think.

going the classic sparring partner rambasa twin combo. rook is to wall up and get good trades, safe attacking since im more offensiv this game with lower tech units.

hmm, traded 6 gold for 5, and he spent an extra card and hero. not ideal, but not that bad i guess.
twins and partner are a good redraw - and it’s about time.
teching hidden ninja to get the hero kill, plus another sparring partner to flood heros and units with runes later. I cant decide on my tech 2 just yet. id be surprised if he built his this turn since i have a pretty good board presence.

No really good ways out of this situation, he didn’t go birds like I thought and what’s more he drew double techs while I drew none. I’m going to tech up in the hopes he buys that I first-teched and takes the bait to kill my tech 2. If he kills the tech 1, bummer, but I can probably find a way to work it in my favor.

well well well…did he actaully tehc in his tech 2 units. i feel like that’s something that frozenstorm might actually do, however…it’s so…odd.
how about this, would i be more ebarassed if he didnt tech in his tech 2 units, and drops all his tech 1’s next turn, or would i be more embarrased if he plays a tech 2 unit next turn…i think teh former.

Bad draw luck for me, smart play for him. I have to offer Jaina as a sacrificial lamb now, sadly, but at least things are looking up for the future. I’m teching a Gunship in the hopes that I get a good split (steam tank in next hand, Gunship in turn 6 hand). If not, though, no biggie, I’ll also tech a kidnapping to try and punish any Glorious Ninja play.
…
Success! Steam tank in tow, now let’s just hope he doesn’t have a ninja in this next hand.

tempted to tech double earthquake, but i think ill need a fox den’s school as well, teching teh school to help against obliterate… rook will likely last 2 turns. those free levels help a lot.
if he goes tech 3, which he most likely will, then i’ll need to get rook through to break his tech 3. can i do it with double glorious ninja?
screw it! im going double earthquake. probably max sets next turn to redraw quicky.
Hmm, well I can’t just lay the Steam Tank and call it good, Partner will buff Rook and walk past to kill the tech 3. He’s probably got a Ninja in hand now, so that’s gonna be rough. I think the play here is flood the board to try and get a counter-attack off, as well as serve to minimize the chances I draw Gunship (so I can tech up next turn to draw it) I’m in bad shape though, that’s for sure!
…
Phew, missed, so Mid Drakk / Zane + Tech 3 might work next turn!
and there it is, got lucky on the redraw with the 40% to draw one of the earthquakes. good redraw for me this game.
however, i dont think iw ant to play that right now. what is important is to break his tech 3 when he builds it, and if i dont protect rook, i dont think ill be able to do that.
so for the meantime, i BELIEVE i have acconted for all options on his side. i think the only play that will destroy me is if he kills flagbearer with a jaina spell.
i dont thinkit’s possible for him to kill flagbearer AND kidnap GN, maybe chaos mirror, but i havent seen him sue that at all so far…sooooooooo ill take a chance and guard against the tech 3 next turn. all i need is one turn to break through, so walling up for now sounds good to me.
