Forgot about Snapback, but it works out almost the same. Shame to lose Midori with both Circles in hand, though. Buying a Tech Lab early just so I won’t have my gold stolen.

The Constable dies, but is an overall gain in cards and gold, allowing me to tech up next turn and draw the gyphons the turn after. Stashing snapback in case he manages to kill garth and do something big with heroes.

Thoughts

I want to get Guargum in before the reshuffle, in part so I can start using free Growth spells (and more reliably than using Argagarg in the face of Snapback), and in part because Blue has trouble dealing with tech III units. Being able to field 3 heroes simultaneously is nice too, and reduces Snapback’s impact, so even if I don’t draw Guargum quickly, there’s benefit to having the building.

A narrow chance of the draw I want, raised slightly with the MM. Whoever playes their tech III first will probably win at this point!Unless I can kill his with a sword, so I will drop 2 extra gold here to make it harder for a simple max midori to take out my Grave.

Assuming he has Garganum, how do I get out of this? I need to have enough units that his Obliterate won’t immediately obliterate my gryphon; I can doom grasp at an appropriate time; I can injunction. Juggernaut is alright as it can survive being obliterated once. However. I probably lose.

No point in playing the Gyrphon, it will just get obliterated. The juggernaut survives to do some damage, the agent + sensei gains an extra card to go for that injunction.

Disappointing to not draw a Growth spell., but I’ll work with this.

Both players please note that while it has not been in the turn summary since being built, James does have a Tech 3 building and has since turn 6

Temporarily withdrawn

Hold up, I have noticed an error in my play on T8 which affects this turn and will mean I have to do some re-drawing. I’ll just check my proposed solution is OK with @FrozenStorm, hidden as it involves my tech choices

Error and solution

On Turn 8, I meant to tech an insurance agent and then resurrect it with Garth, but forgot to actually put it in the tech slot on the spreadsheet, and ended up teching two other cards - both things I drew in my T9 hand. If it is OK, I will replace the T8 martial mastery tech with the insurance agest that was always meant to be there and just redraw my T9 hand?

1 Like

That sounds fine @James, just be sure to take the two cards you drew in the RS, and re-draw two (remember that the things that died on @Nekoatl’s turn 9, like the two insurance agents and Aged Sensei, would not be a part of that draw)

O.O

The juggernauts have 4 attack and Argagarg has 5 health, so I think I think you need to boost him a little if you want a solo hero kill.

Indeed. Sorry, that made sense on a previous version of this. The healthier juggernaut will kill the water ele and be left on 3 health.

Still no Growth spells. Guargum’s pulling his weight without them, but it’s a struggle to keep up with that unit spam. I’m gradually trying to get more units in play to power Galina, but I keep spending all my gold.
