No idea what is deck is going for, my guess is Peace Machine w/ Midori buffing Cadets, and Tiny B for hero defense?Law seems an odd choice instead of truth here, but oh well! Start standard aggro and work from here!

Well that was a little unexpected, pretty soft opening… I’m able to punish it pretty well. Going to guess he’ll go for at least one or two Tiny Basilisks, so grabbing Sparring Partner for an easy trade, and Rambasa Twin for extra bodies just in case he manages to get two basilisks down. Planning to go for hero’s hall.

Tax Collector, interesting but isn’t going to work terribly well.

I’m going to purposefully go down cards to prevent cycling. My intent is to max out Sets next turn, he can’t really prevent it as a move. I don’t think he’ll go for max Oni with 5 cards in hand, nor do I think he went 2x Tax Collector…

More likely I’d expect Tiny B + Tower + X + Hero, or Tech 2 Peace + Blocker Spam. Max sets + double FDS tech will turn out well I think! Too much pressure for him to keep up with, and I think we’ll hold off on Twins until we feel safe he isn’t going for Injunction or Judgement day (might actually end up workering the Twins, don’t want to worker Snapback or Advice!)

[details=My Thoughts][spoiler]
So he’s almost certainly going for flying… Bird’s Nest would be really good here. I’m going to grab that along with FDS, gives me some good options as I’m not playing 2x FDS next cycle (not at 8 gold). The debate then is whether to sacrifice Sparring Partner, or Grave… Grave I can get rid of safely right now, and Sparring Partner helps Sets more next turn, and I’d rather spend 4 gold on Bird’s Nest than 6 gold on maxing Grave to get rid of a flier… He won’t likely patrol anything I can target with Reversal (Potent Basilisk is the only t2 unit of his I expect to patrol…), so that’s likely to become a worker unfortunately lol… Moment’s Peace means I really want to end this with Earthquake, not FDS…

His choice not to go Peace engine is unexpected. I probably want to spend next cycle blocking a little to work towards Rook max and Earthquake. I need only ping down buildings with this FDS, and perhaps never use it again…

Thanks, edited to remove it. I did reshuffle it in the deck, just forgot to remove the text from my post lol. Also missed rook in the turn summary, my apologies but he is in the gold spending events!

I have lethal, gg WP @Bryce_The_Rice!

@EricF tournament fin, thanks for running another great one!

Turn summary (on phone Sorry no formatting)

Sets kills bigby
Fds, ninjas ping your tech buildings tower and base to 15
Rook hits your base to 10
Earthquake breaks all the buildings, your base takes 6+4 to 0

15

I just don’t know how to deal with such sticky units…

16

I think you needed to patrol heavier hitters, tiger cub or spore shambler perhaps, or put things in elite. With playful panda it was pretty easy to kill the wisp for free and find the right trades elsewhere :slight_smile:

Tough deck to play you had though, multicolor green/blue! Not a lot of anti-hero countermeasures, nothing with haste, playing as p2… you really have to play and tech incredibly predictably to have success in that spot I think!
