Pretty unlikely he has Demon tech 2 units in the deck I think, more likely spells for Garth and Vandy. With Demonz as the spec choice I don’t want to be getting into a tech 3 race, so I’m going Earthquake and planning to spend next turn maxbanding Rook again, hoping he misses a Nether Drain. I’m not sure how well I like that plan, but I suppose the pass will definitely help either way? I’m so low on cards it’s hard to imagine recovering hand size besides perhaps with a surplus, so perhaps next turn will be max Grave + Surplus… [/details]

I’m pretty certain to lose Rook and my Tech 2 next turn, possibly tower or Grave as well (shadow blade or soul stone could do it) But I put down the BCs and hope to mitigate skeletons with the tower. Grabbing 2x MM at least gives me a potential out to try and dig for Boulder + Mythmaking to get that down, perhaps also snapback (in the likely event of Vandy maxbanding), and hope that that’s enough to stall out for Earthquake or Tech 3 or Grappler advantages, but really I think I’ve lost already. It’s going to be really difficult to win as P2 in this matchup, for either side I think. Probably have to utilize an earlier tower or Thunderclap perhaps might have helped here. [/details]
Yeah lol that’s one way to end the game. Mind doing one more as p1? I really struggle with white p2 and want one more go at this matchup specifically. I feel like the general start of birds and Boulder is right, but I feel like I drifted from there

Gonna try Grave against the skeletons, I have hook in the next hand too so might help. Considered Smoker + tower and think that’d do okay too but it’s pretty weak for board pressure. Maybe we’ll tech IPN (risky against StW but possible to pull off?) [/details]

Okay here comes the pain, I go all out on offense and board position to just buy space for a tech 2 rush. He’ll need to have drawn StW + Deteriorate to come at me, and even then he can’t do much damage with it. Glorious Ninja will be great early game shutdown, I just need to make sure to protect it from StW. I think I can do that though, I guess we’ll see. [/details]

I think this is pretty solid right? Ninjas + Birds pretty well shuts down Garth plays, Shadow Blade and Soul Stone can mess with it a little but I think on the whole this will be stalwart offense and defense for long enough to make an econ advantage count. I suppose we’ll see though. [/details]

Losing Rook last turn was a major detail I missed… I suppose backline Sets might have been better, but oh well. He’ll get the Gargoyle to kill GN, but it’s still my best pressure play so I have to spend the gold on him. Good news is next turn I can hopefully set up what I wanted to this turn (Rook + Birds + GN) [/details]
[details=My Thoughts]
Yep set up what I want, bummer I can’t also kill Garth (2 gold shy of midbanding Sets in addition to the core plan) but I guess that’ll just wait until next turn (maybe? who knows what he’s bringing from hand this turn). [/details]
