I didn’t really consider that line. If I was him, I think I would have just traded Haunt + Vandy + the javelin rune for Cal, then proceeded as normal. Tiny Basilisk seems really good here.

Since I know I have Stampede next turn, and he can’t play Orpal or Tech 2 things, I’ll just make some frogs rather than setting up MoLaC.
annnnnnnnd, i gotta GG it there. nice stall with cal in the beginning. without tech 2 or orpal, im done. one more round each for warm up, then we can start the real thing?

I either want to maxband Arg next turn and tech in spirit of the panda to start attacking with the elemental on turn 3, or I might want to play verdant tree next turn and potentially get out a tech 2 unit on turn 3. I’m not sure yet.

Wow, he basically did nothing. I can definitely play Verdant Tree now, and not only can I play a T2 unit on turn 3, I think I might be able to play a Tech 3 unit on turn 5. Let’s plan this out:
Next turn I have 11 gold to work with (assuming he deteriorates the prospector). I tech Moss Ancients, then pay 5 for a worker and Tech 2. After that, I have 6 left, of which I spend 3 on a tiger and 2 on either Calamandra or Young Treant, floating 1. For turn 4, if things look good, I can tech double T-Rex, build a balance tech lab, and float 5 to have 14 gold on turn 5, which is enough for worker + tech 3 + T-Rex on turn 5. I need to hire a worker and build a tech lab on turn 4, so to leave 5 floating I only have 2 to spend that turn, which I can use on a hero, Young Treant, or maybe leveling a hero (for example, on turn 3 I might play Cal + Tiger, then have the invisible tiger snipe an enemy hero on turn for to give arg the other two levels and get a water elemental). If I’m under a bit more pressure, I can skip teching the T-Rexs and building the Tech Lab and I’ll have an extra 2 gold to work with.
Well, I didn’t draw either Tiger, but I did draw Young Treat, so I still have a shot at playing one next turn.
