IsotopeX (MonoGreen) vs Armed Pirate (Present/Demon/Finesse)

[IsotopeX]

Let me know if you want to go another round.

[ARMed_PIrate]

Sure, I’m down; I’ll probably be slow this weekend, but might pick up on Monday.

Are you going first this time?

[IsotopeX]

Sure. I’m going to switch to Mono-Green.

Really not sure about the right techs here. I want to get the most value out of FArgo, and that means letting him take out my Tech I. That’s fine, as I’ve already gotten what I need out of it for a bit. It might be back by the time I draw that Argo.

I could play out my entire hand next turn for some guaranteed good value.
[/spoiler]

[/details]

EDIT: Just swapped who kills what. Realized belatedly that I was taking damage to FArgo when I didn’t have to. Panda doesn’t have armor in real life. Only had three cards in deck, so didn’t affect my draws or decisions.

EDIT x2: Realized that while Argo has Readiness, FARGO does not. Adjusting.

@IsotopeX Should all be good and legal now.

[IsotopeX]

Centaurs are good.

I have a some tough choices here.

I could bring in River, Two Step my Indestructibles. (I really wish I had put FArgo in Scav. I’m one gold short of playing my hand.) Leave Plexus in hand or worker it. Activate Gargoyle and bounce the Panda. Mox+Nullcraft take out Tech II and Gargoyle takes out Tech I. Then Cal and Centaurs shred River and my Tech I, and I have not much to play next turn. Unless I tech some Vandy stuff and hope? Or 2x Temporal Distortion and hope to hit with Gargoyle, swap for Fencers even with Tech I broken? That could work? And I’d still have Gargoyle and Mox and Nullcraft, which, with him at Tech 0, should be enough to take out most of his board? It’s not a bad option, and gives me time to catch up and build Tech II. If I do this, I want to start teching in Hyperions.

I could do the same plan, but instead of breaking both techs, have mox kill big Centaur and Gargoyle kill Cal. One Centaur shouldn’t be enough to kill River in SQL, unless he drew Forest’s Favor, or Rampant Growth. But then Dragons and flying Mimics and Basilisks. Blech.

I could split the difference, have one take out Tech II, the other take out Centaur. But who knows what tricks Cal is up to?

Totally different tactics: I could bring in Geiger, play the Plexus and bounce the Panda for only 2. So $6 spent leaves $3. Activate Gargoyle leaves $2. Level Geiger to midband. Nullcraft pokes a Centaur. Gargoyle takes out Cal, Geiger maxxes. Nullcraft flickers, pokes a Centaur again, killing it. Mox does 2 to the big Centaur. Now I’ve got a 3/4 Geiger in SQL, so it should be much harder for him to take out Geiger (and definitely harder to OP past him). But he’s got Tech II.

Really, I have Nullcraft, so he’s counting on Mimics, 'cause Flying Hasted 4/4s are good. Let’s take out that Tech II.

I should probably just not rebuild Tech I, but on the off chance it survives, being able to play Argo would be cool.

I’m skipping worker because Plexus isn’t bad with Suits in play, and because cards are important right now. Short term, the money’s the same either way. I think I need River in SQL to keep her from dying too easily (midband Cal would take her out no problem). Fire in the hole.

I drew an Argonaut and Now!, which will only be great on the off chance that Tech I survives. I guess the Now! can be played on Geiger himself. I did get a Temporal Distortion. So next turn should look something like:
Mox attacks, Nullcraft attacks, activate Gargoyle ($8) and it attacks. Geiger to midband ($4) and Now! ($3), and Temporal Distortion ($1) to turn Gargoyle into Fencer. Fencer and Geiger attack, and if I can take out Cal, flicker Fencer. If I can swing it, I want Fencer hitting wisp and panda, Gargoyle hitting Cal, Mox hitting Centaur. There’s also the possibility of flickering Nullcraft and having Nullcraft and Gargoyle take out Tech I again. Decent options no matter what.

You can’t summon Midori without either a Heroes’ Hall or Tech II.

[IsotopeX]

Well, I HAD a Tech II, before a dancing Gothic statue blew it up real good.

[ARMed_PIrate]

Yeah, that’ll happen. It’s nesting season. They get real territorial. (:

Are you floating $2 or $0? I’m counting $2. Did you want to play anything else with it and go down on cards?

[IsotopeX]

It’s the 2 from summoning Midori. I’ll float it to next turn.

[ARMed_PIrate]

Hrrmm. If I were you, I might have replayed the Panda+wisp, or used the extra $2 to max Cal to take out River and have Centaurs take out my Tech I. Welp!

Went as well as I could have hoped. I teched in some Vandy spells, because I think I’ll have her out in a few turns, or I at least want the option.

Unless Geiger’s still alive, it’ll probably be Fargo, Plexus, HH next turn, maybe a hero and/or a worker. Could be early max Vandy if it looks manageable.

[IsotopeX]

Ignore all this.

[Shadow_Night_Black]

@IsotopeX

Midori - ($5)

Your hero’s hall is not active yet (it takes a turn to build), therefore you can’t summon Midori.
