He has a big float, so can block with a instamax Rook, then give me problems with Training Grounds. So teching a Gunship as well as the summoned Potent Basilisk, in case I end up needing Tech3.

I think Midori is 2/2 right now after killing Tenderfoot last turn. I also have a feeling that Iā€™m screwed.

Waiting for that miracleā€¦

YLD died to StW during my last turn

46

Oh thatā€™s right. My bad. Iā€™m going to GG it here. I wonā€™t be able to come back from this.

47

GG! Iā€™ve been getting somewhat better early trades in these games. As P1 thereā€™s pressure to make value trades to offset the $1 per turn econ disadvantage ā€“ easier said than done against Black starter with StW and zero cost Deteriorate and Haunt. Makes playing $3 units like Fruit Ninja quite risky, as in this game when it ended up trading down to StW. Likely would have been better levelling Grave instead.

On for another, with the same or a different deck?

48

Those are really good points. Iā€™ll make a note for that kind of stuff moving forward.

Iā€™m okay for now. Iā€™d be down for a different deck at some point, just let me think what to do and Iā€™ll post it.
