Hmm, fast Tech II into Gunship rush, maybe? Or just Surprise Attack + Tech II. Hmm, I think I want to go with Balance here. Ferocity + Centaur should be fine for this turn, outside of Kidnapping.

Verdant Tree in the next hand if we’re in a Tech III race, that plus Moment’s Peace might just see me through… Until then, I’ll bring in Murkwood Allies and Wandering Mimic to try and get some more offense going quickly.
Rampant Growth + Ferocity is expensive, but it lets me clear the patrol here with no losses and weaken the Tech II, and it leaves Cal alive against a single Monkey, Centaur alive against anything except a Charged Tank(!).

I can’t deal with that Steam Tank, unless I sacrifice my Centaur, and maxband heal Calamandra afterwards. That leaves me one gold after teching up for the Merfolk Prospector. I think I’d rather just maxband + Prospector, and wait for a better attack hand. Faerie Dragon and Polymorph: Squirrel are good against Tanks, the latter works against Gunships too if it comes to that. I’m already pretty heavy on spells, though. Behind the Ferns is probably my best bet to get a Tech building down quickly, especially if I get the Allies out too. In that case, I want the Dragon over the second Mimic, I think.

Aw, I was hoping to draw the Dragon and hit the Tech III. Calamandra and Prospector can kill a Tank without losses with Favor/Shambler + Ferocity, though. That takes most of my gold, though. I think I just bring in Argagarg + pets, and hope for no Gunship this turn. Last-ditch effort will be using Polymorph to kill Gunships damaged by the Tower.

If gunship attacks first, it will take the 3 anti-air damage from the elemental
i think taxman can probably just attack first then to be safe.
But for my own learning, dosn’t Gunship have long-range? i dont think it would take the damage back. It doesnt have to fly over water elemental to shoot down the tech building.
Long-range only means it doesn’t take damage from the thing it attacks. It still has to go over the patrol zone to attack something behind it.
oh, you’re so right. i should have just looked it up.
Long-range does not prevent anti-air patrollers that the attacker flies over from dealing damage. — sharpo, 01/08/17
so ill just have the taxman attack first since it’s doenst change anything
Yes it does; you no longer get the stolen gold.
ahh yes, okay, applied the WE damage. very good learning experience.

Just doubling down on Gunship stall here. The Tanks are nasty too, but are a distant second. As long as the Gunships take some Tower damage, Polymorph can take them out. If there isn’t a second Gunship this turn, I can stall for a little longer…

seems like red P2 is going to be pretty straightforward. im sure you’ll throw a wrench in that engine.
do you want more warm ups games, or are you ready to start the real deal?
if you’re ready to start, do you want to go P1 or P2 for the first five games?
Well, that was scary, I obviously need to set up more before I try to lock your board down. Anything you were afraid of seeing me play while you were setting up?
I’m happy to start, do you want to go first?
