I’m going to try to get some Boot Camp’d Air Hammers to deal with various issues. Crypt crawlers will be played in response, but it’s been a while since I’ve gone with an air attack, so I expect that response to be delayed enough that I’ll be able to inflict some significant damage.

Leveling Oni and skipping tech 1 is a mistake for him. I have more than plenty to deal with Maxband Oni in my deck.

I’m guessing he went for Hammer here, probably to kill a hero’s hall or tower, along with maybe a Boot Camp. Orpal should be able to deal with this nicely, and the only way he’ll kill Orpal is by Gimping Oni. So I’ll grab a nether drain to prevent Art of War, and a Sickness to deal with the junior woodchucks. Carrion Curse would also be an excellent choice in this scenario but we’ll save that for next time.

Sorry Vandy, looks like you’re sitting out the early rounds this time.

Dang, awesome draw.

$6 is enough for Sickness + Spreading Plague, which can kill Onimaru, so I’ll have to kill Orpal. I’ll level Onimaru for the Soldier tokens, the ability to use the Boot Camp I’m about to draw next turn, and the lingering threat. Elite Training should allow me to get more bang for my buck in trades.

"

Did you kill Orpal? Summary suggests no but board suggests yes

Yes, sorry, not sure how that line disappeared.

Well turns out letting him kill Orpal is still bad for me, although not awful. Nether Drain makes sure no Art of War, but it gives more cheap soldiers. Probably he suicides Oni for this move and puts levels on Quince or Bigby by killing Vandy. Going to deteriorate technician soldier b/c I think he’ll want to spend money on heroes and tech, not cards, and I want to stop my cycle short so I can grab some tech 2 stuff to put in the next cycle. Going to worker sickness b/c I want to save Summon Skeles, but I’m still going to want sickness so tech one of those and a hoodie b/c it’s useful late and I don’t want to commit to a tech 2 just yet (but will probs go demonz?)

How convenient to be able to collect 4 free levels for Bigby. I was hoping to get Newsman in play, but I needed the gold to relevel Onimaru (probably worth it, for 3 more Soldiers). I keep postponing my Tech I building and therefore the teching of Overeager Cadets, and this time I’ll take Injunction so Bigby will have a means of dealing with nasty tech I units.

Best form of swarm control I have here is just insta-maxing Orpal. He’ll struggle to deal with that in SQL with no tech 1 and no Hero’s Hall. Glad I didn’t give him gold last turn XD Surely both T1 and HH are coming though. Going to go Dark Pact and Carrion Curse for next cycle, probably racing to tech 3 after that here. He has limited pressure. Injunction is certainly a possibility but we’ll roll with that I suppose.
[/details]

I think it’s important to switch things up a bit from time to time to avoid being too predictable.

Thoughts

Probably should have gone with Sirus instead of Bigby, but I’m surprised no tech I units have been played. Now, I can’t afford to leave Orpal alive because of Death and Decay, but I’ll have to go full attack to kill him. The problem is my aggression has now run out of steam, which is what was allowing me to get away with not casting Free Speech every turn. I might have to use Newsman to block Metamorphosis, so I’m stashing Boot Camp in case I get a chance to boost his attack to 2 and protect him from Sacrifice the Weak. If that doesn’t work, I can either try to block Meta and hope that either that or Sacrifice can’t be cast the following turn, or dig hard for cards, sacrifice Bigby to make room for Sirus, and hope to draw a Free Speech, neither of which is an appealing proposition.

"

Yea for sure, no sense in doing the same thing over and over if it isn’t working!

Good, I manage the horde there nicely, he doesn’t get free levels, and now my path is pretty clear to win a tech 3 race (I think). Possible Vandy dies and I miss my Dark Pact opportunity, but putting him down to 4 cards should discourage MTruth + like BK or Hound hopefully. Or he just doesn’t have those in deck, likely he has an Art of War, a couple Boot Camp, and we know he has at least one Elite Training. Barring Injunction on my tech 2, I should be in good shape, and if that does happen I can just spend a turn playing on heroes

Ok good got the dark pact, let’s hope I get to use it. Next turn probably like Orpal + Sickness and tech 3 + worker, maybe Garth + Nether Drain or Orpal + Carrion Curse if he lays no cards and goes peace. I don’t have to necessarily build the tech 3 next turn with 2x Zarra and a Dark Pact, can fetch a Dozer or Voidblocker if that seems prudent

Thoughts

No Metamorphosis threat, but instead Tech III is threatened, which wouldn’t be a big problem if the Imp didn’t swipe my Injunction. Had I known that would happen, I would have used Injunction last turn to block Tech II, but I expected to have it available this turn and didn’t want to lower the chances of being able to pump the Newsman. I probably won’t be able to stop the Tech III building from being constructed, which means I need to aim for destroying it and slowing down his ability to cycle cards into hand.

Damn, Injunction slows the game down. But we can still cast both Orpal spells (carrion curse deflects anything scary) and get him maxbanded, so I’ll tech one death and decay (maybe not both, he could have a scribe to go digging for free speech that I can’t carrion curse. Don’t want to bloat the deck too hard)

Yup a free speech, no garrison though. An Air Hammer, now that’s a very interesting choice. I feel like he’d probably have been better off Boot Camping my Imp, so he could backline Onimaru, if Air Hammer was his idea. He needs weenie cover for that thing so it doesn’t get sacrificed. No matter though, I’m in winning shape here with no scribe in hand and no Oni to cast boot camp.

No DnD and drew a Zarra, but I did get Hoodie + StW and DP, so I’ll have options

I think I’m about to get wrecked by Death and Decay, but without Free Speech, I can’t stop it, and trying to play around it would just put me in an even worse position next turn.

Fingers crossed no free speech, I’ll be able to effectively end with Death and Decay. If not though, couldn’t have asked for a better spot for the other Zarra to be aside from bottom-decked like it is: I build the tech 3 then lay him turn 9

I’m delaying Garrisons until after the reshuffle so they can be mixed in with Cadets. Taking Art of War now, because things need to die.

Yuck, he has just enough gold to free speech AND max Oni. As much as I want to worker Jandra, I think I want her for defense for Boot Camp, just in case. Hopefully he workered Arrest and MTruth, and maybe a Boot Camp also (though I doubt that one)

I’m teching another Hoodie just in case, I want a little more meat in the deck for blocking and with Peace up, likely garrison is coming. Workering the other Sickness, DnD and max Orpal in general is my effective swarm control now (for when I’m not Free Speech’d)
[/spoiler][/details]

You forgot to mark your Tech III HP… and please excuse me a moment while I pray to the RNG gods that you drew neither Zarramonde nor Death and Decay.

Thoughts

Placing a +1/+1 rune on the Air Hammer so it can survive Death and Decay, but I expect Zarramonde to kill either Onimaru, Sirus, or the Air Hammer next turn… most likely Onimaru.

That’s a mighty prayer to make, when you could have just destroyed Tech 3 (and tech 2 with that air hammer)

[details=My Thoughts]
Think he missed a big opportunity to take a kill blow there and destroy tech 2 and 3, making a big bet that I was playing for Meta. Meta wasn’t going to win me a base race though. I want to fork this game after we finish b/c I feel like Neko earned a win here with that Art of War, but just threw it away. As it stands, I think Zarra ends it handily for me
