That says ““Plasmodium”” to me! and I really don’t want a quick Plasmodium. Vandy sac pact seems good, especially because I don’t have much else to develop. looks like buff Jandra and Galina are two big parts of this deck, along with Strength+Growth synergy. gonna tech Mythmaking next turn and play Jandra, then.

@Leaky’s turn!

Nice opening. I should have patrolled.

So far so good. I’ll throw DP in afterwards, and generate huge MM value. Just need to watch for Vir. But by the time he hits the board I should be well on my way to winning with Tech 2s.

I need to pay attention to the cycle this turn. Assimilate gets teched in after this play for sure, I’m assuming it wasn’t foreseen because no Geiger suicide into Jandra. I’ll MM plus Galina, then

Hmm, instead if I tech 2, I might draw a t2 unit and vault ahead. I’ll try barbarbar with Growth synergy over Colossus base smash.

Thoughts

A few options here. I can tap Vandy for blade to kill the ptz and then play Barbarbar. this means barbarbar trades with Hyperion in Elite, I can maybe discard the Hyperion. but how likely is it that Hyperion got teched t3? fairly likely, I’m guessing… after all, t3 ended with purple in a pretty safe state. 50/50 gamble on drawing them early. I can minimize odds of Hyperion by not killing technician. I could max Vandy after trading Jandra with Scav, then summon Arg and doom Wisp. but that relies on no early Hyperion, otherwise Hyperion kills wisp and there’s a 6 attack Argonaut on board. What about deteriorate, Vandy kill Scav, Jandra kill Argo and spark Tech 2, Barb for 3, Arg for 2, max Vandy and Doom Wisp for a 3 ATK patroller. that feels good.

@Leaky’s turn!

GG @FrozenStorm

Gg, good luck going forward!

You too. Thanks for teaching me that if your draw is bad on P1T3, you must tech tier 2 cards to continue the game.

Yeah, I’m still learning tech timings myself, but it’s sometimes worth it to make that gamble! (Part of my own thoughts there were also worst case speculation, to make sure I didn’t get blown out too bad.)
