Hmm… don’t want to take 6g of units but also not had much success with Sparring Partner. Sparring Partner is much better if I can float gold turn to turn.

Bah. Should have gone with Martial Mastery maybe?

Skipping Tech I again, think that calls for another Carrion Curse? Reversal is nasty and can properly kill/disable my Brave Knights (not to mention TPoS).

edit: remove errant grave face, correct turn count, name summoned hero

Play turn as planned, I can catch up on cards by bouncing Brave Knight later. Hate to give up Arrest, but with Mind-Parry Monks potentially in play on both sides Aven is much better and Arrest is useless.

Thoughts

Think I’m okay with risking the theft of Mind-Parry Monk (again) as it means not hitting Tech III – Airship is maybe the one thing that can really mess me up here.

4/3 stealth/haste + 4/3 haste + 3/3 stealth is really obnoxious to patrol against. Let’s hope Focus Master is equally annoying to attack against.

C’mon, hammers!!!

edit: correct # of cards in hand

Thoughts

Quick math: I have 3 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 14 attack on the board right now.

1g TG (8g)
2g mid grave -> kill bigby (6g)
bi -> kill sensei (-1 focus)
sparr -> hit base | +2 dmg
2g train knight -> kill tech II (4g) +2 dmg
2g train master -> kill tech III (2g) +2 dmg
1g -> max Oni -> hit base (1g) +6 dmg

1g TG (8g)
train knight -> kill bigby (-1 focus), mid grave
bi -> kill sensei (-1 focus)
grave -> kill tech II | +2 dmg
2g train master -> kill tech III (6g) +2 dmg
2g train + 3g max oni -> hit base (1g) +7 damage

I’m holding both General’s Hammers, and Traffic Director is unstoppable vs. your base at 7, which I believe is checkmate. Good game?

[codexnewb]

Yep! GG! I’ll post a turn 1 tomorrow once I think over my options to deal with building inspector.

alright, one more time into the breach.
