Wow, I just realized the reason you wanted both Abominations alive… I literally can’t play a single card in my hand this turn. :disappointed:

Edit: Did you remember that two Abominations give each other -1/-1? It looks like you did, but I just want to make sure.

It all comes down to whether he can destroy either my Tech III or my Tech Lab this turn. If not, Pirate Gunship says “good game.”

Yup, the double-Abom debuff is accounted for.

At this point, I don’t see any chance of winning. Good game! It was a long shot, but I couldn’t do much aside from stalling as best I could in hopes of getting a gunship.

@EricF, this is a win for Anemone.
