GG man, did not respect the stupid dmg you can do even just with red starter!

155

Well that map wasn’t nearly as interesting as I thought it was going to be Im astonished with how much hurt you could put on my base even being 1g down most turns. Crazy

Will post next match with Pinnacle map shortly!

156

It caught me off guard as well, I certainly could have teched better turn 3 had I realized I’d be going for such a fast base race (I figured there was a good chance you’d tech 2x lobbers first, and wasn’t sure if you’d be drawing them staggered or together. Looks like you got simultaneously “lucky” to draw them together w/ MoLaC, and unlucky that you weren’t able to trade me off some of my guys on your turn 3). I think not drawing either t3 baited you into tech rushing when you really needed to flood patrol there.

Ugh I do not like this match up. Would eb fun to use Double Time, but I have no idea how I could actually use it. Might be a good back up in case he starts getting unit heavy. But he has art of war too, and undo, and I have almost 0 way to deal with Art of War aside from Future fliers, but he can chain Art of War and destory my tech buildings every freaking time!

After the game

I would take metamorph over art of war in this matchup. Then again I have a bad track record predicting winners here.

Not safe to bring out Oni this cycle, that’s not a huge surprise; since he’s looking for card bankruptcy, I’ll go for econ and two card-efficient units, I think it’ll set me up well to get Oni out turn 3 / 4.

You’re playing the Fury Road map, but neither of you have the Mad Max spec (Blood). The RNG is cruel :cry:

You can only patrol with one of those.

Grabbing Injunction as another good way to combat units. I think he’ll very likely go for Truth, and that will leave me in somewhat rough shape. I’m grabbing the other Glaxx just because I think they’re the most effective single patroller I can have, though I’ll be the first to admit there’s probably something better I could tech (another now maybe?). This is a tough map…

Bringing in Hyperions, since mitigating patrol zone is much less valuable here I don’t feel the need to go Future or Law for flying / unstoppable. I should be able to just brute force him down with superior speed I think. Probably tech Tricycloid and Ready or Not or perhaps an Immortal?
