It was looking tense there for a bit. Id say this falls a bit into black getting bad draws and blue getting good draws. Though I also wonder if this map favors player 2 at all.

Two gold per worker, I might just call it at 6 workers lol I feel Black has way more early game gold efficiency so I expect to win here. Money’s definitely going to be tight though, and I likely won’t be able to exploit a card advantage as well as usual! Next turn probably Hero’s Hall + Jav + Worker, turn after tech 1, but possible I’ll go Deteriorate + HH + Tech 1 instead [/details]

50/50 he even has arrest and he has to skip worker if he wants to keep Oni safe after (if I go lookout)? That’s a slam dunk, don’t think he should have brought out Oni here. We’ll see how it goes though [/details]
One thing that can be interesting with a rotating map pool is how different decks could be built. Some decks that are not viable in a ‘no-map’ meta may be great in Fury Road or Flagstone Mines. There’s still a need to avoid maps like Lost Temple which seem degenerate, but with an interesting map pool you’ll see different builds than you do with the current meta. I think the idea of a stable set of cards asks for some shifting grounds, something randomized at the beginning of each game.

Same proposition here, just staying safe against Arrest, MTruth I’m okay with trading. Nether Drain just for gold efficiency, another BC for card efficiency. Keeping Archery b/c skele army is still an option [/details]

Ugh… he hits the 42% for a Garrison, then IMMEDIATELY hits the OC, THEN HITS THE NEWSIE??? #feelsBad but whatever, better than hitting Free Speech after the OC…since he’s likely to be holding the other Garrison and Free Speech, let’s just kill Quince for a guaranteed meta. He’ll have to Tower or risk pretty serious damage. Grabbing a Gargoyle for after Meta, workering Nether Drain. Soul Stone to go with the Gargoyle or a BC
Next turn after Meta, since he’ll have a deep deck (likely), maybe I break Garrison + Tech 2 / other garrison?

UGGGHHH lol he double-drew arrest? I suppose in a way it’s not much different than him getting a tower, he pays an extra gold but I don’t get Garth Maxband goodies. Breaking tech 2 to prevent double garrison or Quince (without Bigby suicide), he’ll have to be holding Free Speech to kill Orpal and even then, he’ll have basically no gold left. So hopefully things will turn out okay
…
Wow draw could not be better for next turn, either I’ll be DnD’ing him hard or throwing down some solid bodies. Free Speech sucks but not much to do about it [/details]

This blows… lol really boring grindy game, nice hit on Garrison + OC by him turned the tide to the point where I probably don’t get to do much anymore, but I guess we’ll see [/details]
GG WP Not sure if perhaps I should have broken your Garrison instead of killing Quince T5 (or patrolled harder instead of workering?), really didn’t think you’d hit draws as hard as you did.
