Okay, tech up, he’s behind on gold and cards so I think I’m in decent shape to still say “Free Speech every turn or I win”, which is a hefty tax for him to keep paying, and that’s if he can make the draws work.

Well maybe not, if I bottom deck these damn Plague Lords! Still, he can’t really stop me from breaking that Jail or tech 1 next turn, whichever I choose, and from there I should be able to overrun… Right?

I wanted to buy a worker this turn, but I was late to draw the 2nd Cadet and needed to trigger the Garrisons again with the 2nd Hound.

Okay, Quince kill, lots of pressure from both tech 3 and Meta next turn, and I can heal Vandy off nether drain if desired. Should work out okay? He really has the draw engine to stall pretty down pat.

Vandy can’t Sparkshot, as she’s silenced (Free Speech is not Channeled, so its effects don’t end when Quince dies). Did you want to change anything about your turn because of that?

No good call but the damage on the hound was not critical

Wipe the floor, tech 1 down no hounds and cadets for super cheap draws, weak Bigby ready to give me free levels next turn, I should have what I need now to finish the game. I’ll tech in death and decay, meta or Zarra for next cycle, we’ll see what makes sense

Well, I’m still experimenting/refining a bit, but yeah, I’m pretty happy with the core strategy. That double Plague Lord is some serious swing, though, so I’d like to improve my efficiency to the point where I can stop them from ever hitting the board. In this game and the previous one, I stayed below 10 workers for longer than I would like. At this point, I don’t have enough income to defend my infrastructure, so I’ll resign this one. GG.

IDK, I feel like the worker skipping is going better for you than previous attempts I’ve made to get a peace engine stabilized where maybe I was too hesitant to skip a worker.

I think Oni is a much stronger start, gl hf!

As previous game starts have stated, an Oni start is the only thing that will keep me from opening with a Hero, and even then it’s not all that bad to put Vandy in Elite here if I wanted to. Him maxing Oni early is super risky against Garth. That said, Imp + Jav is a good way to create advantages early and guarantee a safer hero next turn if I want it, so we’ll go with that and settle for Tech 1 + hero’s hall if need be :slight_smile:
[/details]

Well, I skipped the workers because I thought I couldn’t spare the $1 to pay for them and still effectively contest the board. I don’t think those decisions were wrong, but I’d rather be in a position to do both.

I didn’t get either of my $1 units in my opening hand, so I thought I needed a beefier hero. But, I already miss the utility of Stash. GL HF.

With how much stash slows your cycle, I’m not sure it’s worth having the low-threat Bigby over the high combat threat of Oni, who makes getting a hero out for me much harder.

After this game concludes, I’d kind of like to try an alternate line from this position, can you keep a copy of your board state around to try it later?

His super aggro start of Oni + bigtime patrol means I need to be cautious about heroes. I can Garth + summon skele + make a skele, skip buildings, and go for Lich’s Bargain, which would be super all-in on his low hand size (and probably work) but I don’t really want to play for that just yet. Instead I think Teching up is the right call, so I’m teching 2x Gorgon and putting midband Vandy in to block. Only MTruth + Hound / BK would make this really bad, and even then I think it’ll be recoverable with Dark Pact + Nether Drain next techs, so I’ll just tech up next turn and see how this goes!

I’m not worried about Stash slowing my card draw. It’s an optional ability, so I only use it when I see value in rigging my next hand. But, it’s true that it’s not useful every turn. It might be best to keep a hero slot open, and pop Bigby in when the need to Stash arises.

That’s fine.

I considered buying a Heroes’ Hall last turn, but decided to stockpile gold instead. That was a mistake, as now I’ll waste free levels when I trade.

He’s dastardly, no way to rush the tech 2 safely, gives way too much room for him to own the board with that giant float. Imp would be great to pressure his hand further, but doesn’t buy me a ton of board, so I think I’d like to build a hero’s hall here and put pressure on his defense. He’s really gambling with his cycle draw here, so let’s play the odds and put some pressure down with Vandy next turn, or tech up with Vandy + another skeleton!
…
Wow, Gorgon as the rs draw is awful for next cycle… Free Speech will really put a hamper on the turn 5 options! His strategy of playing totally hand-bankrupt for the first few turns does seem pretty effective.

I guess skipping the Heroes’ Hall wasn’t so bad, as the -$2 and +$2 cancel out, leaving me with a net +2 base HP for not replacing an add-on. Also, delaying the level-up of Quince means he has an extra opportunity to heal damage later.

Super awkward draw, would have loved to have Dark Pact next turn and block in front with Garth, but oh well. Going for broke and grabbing 2x DnD, he only drew 1 from the cycle so he’s only 25% to hit something he teched (like Garrison or Free Speech), so I have to go for that and just break it all down from there.
…
At least the recycle was kind to me and I hit the 29% to draw a DnD!

Maxband orpal is actually going to cause -1/1s to spread when mirror cadet suicides into him, which would kill the real cadet (just prevent his small attack). Anything you’d like to change?

Oh, that’s right… yeah, I’ll move Bigby to SQL, and thanks for pointing it out.
