This is a tech lab for Law again? EDIT: can’t be a tech 3 at 9 workers, so I know that’s wrong at least

85

Yeah, I forgot I didn’t have enough workers at first, and it looks like I deleted the wrong building HP. Fixed now.

86

Actually I’m sorry to say, but my deck’s got too much sudden damage for that light of a patrol :wink: GG WP, happy to give you a second chance at that turn 5 with a beefier patrol if you want to!

I don’t think it would make a difference; the shuffler was being too uncooperative. I’ll start game 6 tomorrow.

My Thoughts

This is a creative move from him, but I do not expect it to work out nicely. I have so many ways to rip the Garg back away from him. Maxing out Vandy here gives him the doomed Gargoyle, so he likely goes for a retaliation kill, but that’s fine. I’ll still be way ahead on tech. Grabbing a shrine and a voidblocker, I don’t want to have something like a Dozer or Banefire or TerrasQ ripped from my hand straight to his board…

97

Yeah, I was worried that if I opened with Bigby, you’d realize what I was up to and tech something other than Gargoyles. I was hoping that you’d burn some resources to take out Grave and balance us out economy-wise, but seeing how your draws worked out, this was probably better for me.

Thoughts

I should have teched Seers last turn after all. Thought about it, but for some reason decided not to. Since this is an experimental game, I’m sure FrozenStorm wouldn’t mind a retcon, and I think we’d both rather see how it plays out that way, so I’ll edit my discard pile appropriately. But, since I’m technically cheating by doing this, it’s his win regardless of how things play out from here on.

Would have been nice to draw Nether Drain here, but no matter. I’m still stalling out super well. Even if by some miracle he’s holding like Rewind or something, I still feel confident I can really mess him up coming soon™. Grabbing a Two Step to aid in that regard, as well as Zarra for the tech 3 win condition.
