Leaning toward Ninjistu spec only because I haven’t tried it yet, but if he goes for Vir’s Mech Token I might go with Strength for Degrey. Likely won’t go for Tech III. Boulder/Birds seems like a good start, Birds especially because there’s likely to be a Nullcraft coming.

No point attacking. Safe Attacking thins the deck, might save me some damage later. For now, I’ll float some gold, maybe level Rook and bring the Birds next turn. Grappling Hook should allow me a decent trade.

Stewardess is great, and Bloodlust can kill birds. I played Plexus over Nullcraft because I figured Nullcraft would just trade with a Bird.

My next hand is really bad; all of my good cards are still in my deck.

Thoughts

Leaving the Plexus around left the possibility for Rook to die if he threw a Nullcraft out. I lose a card (the Hook) but maintain board position, and hopefully the Birds can work in my favor. Putting the Birds in patrol might hold him off from the Nullcraft anyway. Hopefully Tech II next turn. Entangling Vines might be worthwile just to get Mox out of the way.

I couldn’t pass up a clean Tech destruction. Tech II next turn, going Ninjitsu. I fear an Origin Story, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

Edit: Forgot that I couldn’t build Tech 2 because you broke my Tech 1

Thoughts

Unfortunately my hand this turn rather sucks, so I’m in trouble now. If Grave survives likely I’ll use him to Sensei the birds again, maybe level him to use his sword. Fox’s Den School isn’t very helpful at the moment. Tower or Surplus might be worthwile.

wrong, u already played Fading argo. So stewardess 2 has not haste.

I played Fargo on turn 4. Stewardess is the first unit I played on turn 5.

EDIT: to be clear, I played Bloodlust on Fargo for the extra point of attack only.

that is what confused me :stuck_out_tongue: U
are right^^

I have no viable response here, it’s over. Best I could do is get a hero out, Snapback on Drakk, but that’s a minor move at best.

I really want to like Whitestar but I can’t get it to work out.

T1 playing grave would have been better, since he maxb more easily, has readiness and once he uses his rune prynn’s Origin S is not that threatening.

T2 instead of SA, much better a savior monk, to put pressure. also teching the boulder is bad, you are P1 and need to pressure him. I would have put Martial mastery+rambasa to make the cycle faster and see “the future”.

t3
hook neop to elite, grave hits mox sparks neop, sensei trades with it. Midgrave and heal.
tech a speel and a tech II unit, go get it faster for next cycle.

Against past, never spend too much on unit/heroes cuz OS and undo.
I’d go discipline so mind parry monk prevents shenaningans, then YLDs force him to play counters, where he has few.
