Thoughts

Hmm, Jurisdictionā€¦ So many choices. I could grab boot camp and move orpal or buff Bigby, probably not great. I could MT into spectral aven or BC and smack Orpal or something else. I could Jurisdiction into free speech or injunction. Free Speech seems the safest thing overall, plus it gets a free speech into my deck sooner.

Itā€™s all good in the neighborhood :wink:

Once again, going to max protect in the spirit of keeping buildings alive. Donā€™t want another Judgement Day getting my tech 2 killed. Not sure why he would go Law, but feel pretty good about splitting between Meta and Zarra as win conditions for now. Graveyard out to keep Gorgon coming back.
[/details]

346

Wouldnā€™t Oni be 2/3 because Orpal deals damage as -1/-1 runes? Unlike Poisonblade Rogue, he doesnā€™t only do that when attacking.

347

Not when Orpal is silenced from ā€œFree Speechā€ (weā€™re on to your bullshit, Quince and sometimes Bigby now I guess :stuck_out_tongue: )

348

Iā€™m testing how surprising I can be.

Iā€™m going to have problems with that ghoul, I think. And nether drain means Oni is dead, pity I didnā€™t get art of war sooner, needed 1g more. If I had community service, I almost could have used orpals maxband against him :stuck_out_tongue: He will certainly grab something from the discard with garth. and he likely can do a decent bit of damage with the ghoul, nether drain, orpal and the skeletons Hopefully he doesnā€™t get bigby and garrison, then I drop judgment day and repopulate.

349

Throughout these nearly 20 games, you have had the most insane Garrison fortune I have ever seen. Teach me how to get my blue deck to draw Garrisons like you do, @zhavier-sempai. I seem to have the dreaded probability curse, where my 50/50 draws actually work 50% of the time.

Push for Tech 3 and whittle his offense to next to nothing, have just enough creature firepower that heā€™ll be tempted to Judgement Day but not enough to overflow my graveyard. I like this plan, I think itā€™ll work

Bad RS draw but hopefully we can work with it

GG once again, Iā€™m having so much fun ā€œplayingā€ my turns lol :rolling_eyes: I think I should just let you play for me from now on :stuck_out_tongue:

Kidding aside, that was a nice Judgement Day turn 3 or 4 or whenever that was

Go ahead and start the next draw-stravaganza

354

Yea, I was pretty happy that play worked out as well as it did. I thought Bigby free speech was pretty fun too.

I think I agree that this map advantages player 2, at least in this matchup.

Looks like I got lucky on the deteriorate draw. Ok, so definitely kill oni on my terms. Luckily I have a good target for the free levels off Oni, but I canā€™t use garth to level up quince. Chances are good he clears my patrol, I think, but he canā€™t just kill quince, so probably he just hits my stuff, maybe he maxbands vandy in preparation for meta. I guess we shall see.

Yay guessed right on BK killing Garth, drew the Shadow Blade. I could tech up, but I think Iā€™d rather have more board pressure. Grabbing Meta b/c I feel like I can get it off turn 5

Hmm, wonder if patrolling BK in the back would have been betterā€¦

So yea, good play there.

I think unequivocally keeping main BK behind would have been better. Iā€™d have no good way to kill it, and I didnā€™t have anything on board scary that I could get through Mirror + 2 weenies
