On step 80 of game 3, you had your two reds together in your three-chip bag. Then you played a draw 2 to separate them. Unless you’d already given up on playing those, drawing 2 was actively counterproductive and you would’ve been better off passing the turn without playing anything or (as you mentioned) crashing the 3.

Good point!
I don’t know if I’m ever going to get over double-playing Risky Move while at high chip pile for a self-checkmate. Oops.

I know @jch3xf likes to play
Knockdown 
One-Two Punch
Fairly drawn out game. We both lean into economy this round, with One-Two Punch making Draw Three-based strategies a lot more appealing. An early Combos are Hard purchase gives me a little edge with a free Double Crash and 4 gem. After quite a long period of footsies and big-cost buys, we ended at a point where we were both regularly cycling through most of our decks and launching 4+ gems each turn just to stay alive.
Combos are Hard Roundhouse
I take a risk turn 1 by getting
and a
and then have $5 during the buy phase to nab a first turn
. Unfortunately it doesn’t hit, leaving me on $4, and I don’t have a good back up plan. This misstep resulted in me quickly falling behind @jch3xf’s economy curve, and I didn’t manage to construct a good counter deck before losing.
Draw Three Mix Master
Turn 2 I buy a Mix Master, and by turn 5 I have laid a trap on Combines before @jch3xf had a chance to buy any. This scared her off of buying Combines. So, I picked up some deck cycling and extra arrows, and then slowly chipped away at @jch3xf’s pile height while playing Mix Master each cycle.

Thanks for the games!

“Really annoying” is aplty named !
I think I offered about 10 wounds to my opponent on this one
Bomber chose to remove Really Annoying from the bank. I played aggressively from the start in consequence, my opponent didn’t react to my very purplish shopping and overengineered.

I tried to save my 4-gem for later but he countercrashed and I couldn’t block

Got ahead in econ and set up big 4-gem+2gem crash

Hobusu vs @ohithere
Final score: Hobusu 3 – ohithere 0
Hobusu wins
Good games! I feel like this mostly came down to ohithere not quite understanding how a couple of the chips worked at first, since this is the kind of game where playing with that kind of misunderstanding for any length of time is likely to result in a string of misplays centered around that misunderstanding. Also, after the first game he tried to re-randomize the bank but it didn’t work; he got it figured out after the second game, though.
Also, it turns out I like the Setsuki mirror match in this game too, not just Yomi.

Yeah, very fun games. I made some rookie mistakes early on but you deserve the wins. Well played!

Was a very fun game!
Each game I was able to crash a 4 just when there was a momentary weakness/opening.
