[details=My Thoughts]
I have no idea what his deck is all about so we’ll see what happens. That opening hand felt kind of bad, but I’m not sure how it could have been better. I was unsure whether to summon Grave or Rook, but decided to give Grave a go because readiness might be useful. Fox Viper seemed like the only sensible unit to drop and Fox Primus seems really underwhelming. Maybe I’m undervaluing Frenzy, but I think especially as P2 it’ll be hard to get value from it.

@lettucemode, @snoc. Please don’t make me adjudicate this match. If no progress is made, I’ll just void the results due to lack of progress.

My fault I think, my schedule is pretty inconsistent lately.

Damn, if only I had Shuriken Hail now! I could summon Setsuki, Snapback Orpal and kill a hero for excellent value. Also being able to patrol a Porcupine would be way better than Fuzz Cuddles. And maybe I should have played 1 fewer card so I could put Fuzz Cuddles in SQL…

np. I think your card numbers are a bit off and Tower and Safe Attacking have disappeared, but I forgot to update my buildings last turn so we’re even.
