So, bad luck, Nullcraft in the first hand. I can’t get it and Vandy out without skipping worker, so next turn will be tricky. I can’t do the same Two-Stepping Mox shenanigans I did last game because Deteriorate answers Mox nicely in the short term, and Orpal answers hard in the long term.
I could cast an expensive Forgotten Fighter next turn and still level Vandy or build Tech I. It’ll depend on what Iso does. But I’m leaning towards just Tech I and trying to float as much as possible, pushing for Ready or Not on Twilight Baron. It’ll be very expensive, and I don’t know when/how I’ll pull it off, but it would be pretty devastating if timed right. Maybe Fencer first, since that also works nicely and more cheaply with Ready or Not. If I make it to Tech II, I’ll probably go Finesse for Leaping Lizard and Grounded Guide.

…or there’s TQ+Discord+Now!, in which case I’ll want Dark Pacts to get through this expensive deck. So many choices!

With Vandy out already, and Present, I need defense…unfortunately that’s exactly what I can’t get with this hand. So Garth + skellie seems like a good choice, especially because I plan to go Necro.

That was a terrible turn to lose Tech I. However, things are clean now, and he’s down a Worker and without Tech I yet, so hopefully I’ve got the advantage.

Since I seem relatively safe for the moment, I decided to tech up. Since I already have a ton of spells in my deck, I decided to add a HH and Harmony, and added Two Step as my final tech. The hope is to put out Harmony, Dark Pact or other spells x2, and Two Step some dancers. Maybe doom a Nullcraft. Go all-in on base?
I really think this is a terrible plan, but my previous techs are driving me towards it a bit.

My next hand includes Shadow Blade+Nullcraft, and 2x Soldiers + Battlesuits, so I should have two somewhat viable lines to lead into a spell-heavy turn.

Here’s hoping he has no Sac the Weak in hand; I have a chance, given his 3-card hand.
I really wanted Nullcraft, but that would have let him kill Vandy no matter where I placed here without Sac the Weak.

OK, few cards next turn. I know I’ll get Nether Grasp, so if Garth survives I can do something nasty. I don’t know if he’ll go for the max-Vandy again, but I assume so with such a small hand. Otherwise, maybe Geiger shenanigans?

That worked well, next turn will not be interesting with such a small hand, likely levelling up Vandy and going Tech III. If the Catapult survives, I should be able to easily charge it up and smash a Tech.

Lord of Shadows next turn, and I should be able to swing for the win or close to it.

I knew I was hosed for a while now, but my only hope was keeping River alive for one more turn for the Double-Discord-Two-Step.

Good game, sir!

I know I really shouldn’t have meta’d Vandy all by herself, but I drew it early and couldn’t help myself!

I just looked over your next hand; I’m sorry I ended it before you got Lord of Shadows active!

Yeah, that early Vandy gambit, especially with skipping a worker or two, didn’t quite pay off. The Lord was going to be a finisher…I do sorta wish I had the chance to play him, it’s so rare to get a Tech III into play. :slight_smile:

I honestly thought I was done after your 2nd turn when you cleared my board and ganked Garth; I could see the Metamorphosis coming. Fortunately I was able to go all in on Jandra/Vandy. It seems like your Turn 6 Forgotten Fighter on my Skeleton was an odd choice, an expensive way to deal with a token and get a Dancer, when you weren’t able to follow up with an attack.

Yeah, that hand had a Plasmodium and a Meta (and Vandy was not at max) and a Two Step (with only FArgo in play).
I was really hoping to draw Harmony off the first Dark Pact, then Two Step off the second. Getting them in reverse order was really rough.
