This should be a voidblocker, and rambaster should be in your hand/deck, no?

Indeed, it’s a Voidblocker that’s trashed, and the Rambaster is actually in play.
How is the Rambaster in play? You rewinded it, and didn’t replay it

Right, forgot about that… I’ll have to redo my draws, so assume I have 1 more card in hand. Edit: updated the post.

My Thoughts
Fencer fetch breaks tech 2 along with the Soul Stone and Vandy Max, so we’ll tech that in. I’m guaranteed to draw either messenger or StW, so I have just enough gold to pull that off either way. Meanwhile I’ll have plenty to work with attacking to follow up, and he has to worry about Meta. Good position to be in
If you kill Prynn with Nether Drain, you don’t get your units back.
oh hm… I think I still do that deal. My turn remains unchanged aside from Gargoyle and Voidblocker being in the ether

My Thoughts
Yea I’m pretty well locked up on this, should be a matter of inevitability from here…
I’ll resign it here; I can Snapback Vandy to stop her from fetching Meta, but I can’t stop Zarramonde. GG WP.
I might have had a better time of this with the standard White starter I normally use with these factions, as Fox Primus could have helped me deal with those Gargoyles. Actually, trying to come up with my own starters has improved my appreciation for the standard decks. I do think the experience of customizing them is interesting and valuable, though.

GG WP! I too have a new appreciation for the standard starters after this exercise; there have definitely been times I wanted Summon Skeletons and Jandra in these games. I’m not sure Primus would have done a ton to shut down Gargoyles, but certainly would not have hurt to have around
You in for CAWS?

Yep, as both player and judge. I’m using these factions, so we’ll see if I can fare better with vanilla White.
