Too many tricks, I can’t come back from here.
I am slightly encouraged that I am not the only one having trouble as p2 green. Somewhat more disappointed that the matchup is as unbalanced as it seems to be. Seemed a lot more balanced with white as P2 though.
Shall we go ahead and count these games toward the 10, switch back to our previous color roles, or start doing the 10 test matches from here?
Actually, let’s keep investigating this. I’ll start as white, but you should feel free to cheat as much as needed with to give yourself good draws / the right techs. Just don’t make decisions based on that ability, if that makes sense?

I’m not convinced any line I take here is worthwhile. Obviously I can kill Rook with just what is in play. If you have sensei’s advice, you can pretty easily destroy anything I set up, either a tech 2 or whatever else I might play. If I can kill rook and SP, then you can’t destroy my tech buildings, but I also wont have enough gold to actually build a tech 2, and you will still have 2-4 damage to swing back with, as well as plenty of gold to build your own tech 2. Then there is Speed of the Fox, Reversal, and Grappling Hook, any one of which causes me all sorts of problems, and all except reversal leaves you enough to build tech 2. And of course you can just continue to build a large board.
OK, so how about an oddball strategy: Circle of Life into Oversized Rhino so that I can have a wall that actually kills things, but not the damn birds…
Or other oddball is Moment’s Peace and a Verdant Tree, but that is open to speed of the fox death. I think I like this one the best.
You are correct - I forgot to reshuffle the sensei. I did that and re-drew. Which actually turned out better? Although I had Snapback either way.

Well, I had hoped against speed of the fox, and assumed snapback or Reversal would prevent you from building your tech 2.
10 starting cards, T4 -4 workers + 6 techs, looks like bird’s nest is missing maybe?
as my thoughts above indicate, I don’t think there was a good line of play in the last turn.
Also, you discarded 2, not 3, so one less card in next hand.

birds are 1/2. With Sparring they are 2/3, with Advice they are 3/4, if I am missing anything I will be sad. Reversal is still a thing, but I figure he cant get both Verdant and Tech 2? could be wrong…
No, the count is right: 4 workers, 3 in play (including SA), 9 between hand/deck (yes, I drew 1 too many) = 16

So if I had patrolled differently, I could have maybe gotten a gold or card, but then I would have two birds patrolling, probably.
Still, it’s not completely over yet… But it’s getting there.
