GG WP. You’re P1 for the next one.

43

Ah indeed you’re right!

You have pretty insane econ on this deck w/ the Insurance Agent, this is a very different kind of match from the ones we’ve been having. I totally neglected the fact that you had Judgment Day AND Rewind as LB counters

My Thoughts

His deck is fairly well-tailored to stall out my various plans. I’m still unsure how best to proceed

44

Yeah, Insurance Agent is incredibly valuable when you can put expensive units into play without paying their costs. It’s enough to make even luxuries like Jurisdiction practical.

I think it’s likely Vandy gets bounced here by snapback, so I’ll split and take one soul stone, and one Fencer. Break both buildings as that will only further eliminate cards for him.

Thoughts

Those Gargoyles are clearly intended to punish Judgment Day. It’d be nice if I could follow up with an Injunction in the same turn, but that’s asking a lot. Shimmer Rays might be easier to pull off, assuming I’m allowed to have a Tech II, which is probably asking even more, especially if he’s been teching Virtuosos (which he probably has). But, if he’s holding off on non-Gargoyle units (as appears to be the case), playing Judgment Day wouldn’t even really help much, and I’d be better off with Injunction alone. The catch is, I’d need to follow it up with some air defense or bounce once I could no longer cast it, and that could be tricky. Still, I have to go for it, I think. I’ll make sure I have enough gold to play either spell, but not both, and see if he’s willing to explose his Gargoyles to take down a tech building.

Thoughts

I’m relieved to see his Tech II didn’t go up. Now I need to prioritize keeping my cycle fast so that I can keep the lockdown in place.
