Chance here to push Tech II… think I’ll go for it.

Calamandra casts a boosted Feral Strike. From my codex I fetch two Wandering Mimics and put them in my hand, and then put both into play. - ($2)
Calamandra grants Forest’s Favor to Wandering Mimic “Alpha” now (5/5, mimicing Flying, Haste from Nullcraft) - ($0)
Wandering Mimic “Alpha” destroys your Tech II building, your base to 18.
Wandering Mimic “Bravo” kills Prynn, levels fizzle.

Definitely some analysis paralysis with Feral Strike. But ultimately those runes on Prynn were a bit of a threat to my tech II advantage so double hasted flying mimics it is. With Rewind now unavailable, codexnewb is in a pretty tough spot here I think.
GGWP! I definitely struggled to take the initiative as P2 with purple, green seems good at filling up the board quickly.

OK, if nullcraft comes out, he can clear my board, but I’m potentially drawing into T2 tech I units, which might help apply early pressure, so let’s see if I get lucky.

Well, I really need to learn how that Technician draw works! Now I’ve really screwed my deck up. This game may turn out to be a memorable lesson, if nothing else. Maaaybe I can rush to Tech II to compensate here with Verdant Tree.
Well, drew up both my Tech 2 choices… seems unlikely he’d be holding Assimilate. Will I have the gold though?

Hmm, hard to cover against everything codexnewb could pull out here, but I think this is a reasonable approach. I think I can claw back a little bit of baord control in return for trading some levels to Geiger.

hmm, no need to hit tech 2 becaus eof the tree, and id rather put pressure on him via hitting the base. all in all, main change is i have to put damage on geiger, but he doesnt get a gold.
woops, not sure how i missed that will battle suits. that will unfortunately change the way i do things since i can’t kill arg with hyperion and nullcraft. ill post a new turn 5 shortly.
okay, updated my turn. main change is that i have to skip worker, geiger hits elemental, and stewardess bounces scav wisp (no scav gold unfortunately for you).
player 1 purple vs green seems to be pretty great. it’s the player 2 purple vs green im worried about…
