Vines is surprisingly super effective against peace engine. Keeping a cadet from attacking and re playing really hurts

102

And the filthy mox!

103

EN GARDE!

This allows him to try leveling Rook and killing Zane, but thatā€™s pretty foolish against Prynn. By going Elite instead of resource or SQL, Iā€™m also encouraging him to either Hook Plexus, or risk putting rook on 1hp for a Nullcraft finish. I think the only thing better would have been Fargo, this is a good start for me though

Still making killing Zane unappealing, play for Peace engine. Might have been worth to Forgotten Fighter then trade with Rook and tech up? Keeping someone off P1T3 birds is really great, and itā€™s likely heā€™s going for it

Trying to keep his pressure low as best as possible, and mine as high as possible. Itā€™s likely he grabbed Potent B or Nature Reclaims, possible he went for Mimic, but Iā€™m likely drawing into Origin Story so as long as I bring out Oni to get the levels Iā€™m reasonably safe.

Arguably itā€™d be better to spend gold on Garrison + Plexus / Tinkerer (if drawn), but I like having the hero pressure on the board that he has to deal with.
[/spoiler][/details]

A quick point since this was missed earlier, @Penatronic you often played a second hero when your tech 2 was dead in the earlier games (not that this ever mattered). Very fun and interesting games!

GG WP! I need Prynn to keep the engine alive without Garrisons lol :wink: Nature Reclaims was well teched and split, and I was afraid of Mimic on my turn 4 when perhaps I should not have been so much. I could have gotten the engine rolling somewhat right then, and it would have probably worked out better for me.

Gg, rook to the rescue. I was afraid of origin story but snapback can do some serious work in fixing that. Also how does mono red beat rook :joy::joy::joy:
