Yeah, I’m going to get steamrolled here. I should have opened with Plague Spitters to keep Vandy down, then taken a Spreading Plague if there was still a Metamorphosis threat. As it is, it’s too late to use them to set up a Spreading Plague, so I’ll have to go into one now, plus a Tiny Basilisk, to try to make those heroes go away.

Hmm, hadn’t noticed that Bomber skipped a worker too. Either he’s teching in extra cards to switch gameplan, or he skipped to destroy the Tech II because there’s something in Balance II he doesn’t want to see. I’m guessing the Basilisks. Which Tech II would he would to tech into to deal with those? Probably Disease for the Gorgons, or possible Demonology to smash through them with Blackhand Dozers, although those are vulnerable to Faerie Dragons. I guess we’ll see soon enough, if I survive that long.
