Well, first turn is pretty obvious. I don’t have any good plays beyond Thieving Imp here. Unfortunately I don’t have the gold next turn to get Jandra out, which delays my Mythmaking beatdown. Still a good card to tech in, though. I can just hammer away with boosted Legendaries (Galina, Boulder). Tech plan is Galina/DP, Mythmaking/Boulder, Spirit/Barbarbar. Or should I consider Birds instead? Birds seems really good actually. Galina/Birds then, tech DP instead of Spirit. If I’m really going in on cheap units, that is. Probably try teching double of a Legendary like Galina? hmm, Birds splits my focuses tbh. Let’s see what sort of board might be open to Jandra, that’ll tell us whether I want to tech MM.

@dwarddd’s turn!

sorry for slow start, should be better from now, GL HF

Cool, so, I gotta break those Skeletons before Skeletal Archery comes online. Let’s do that without losing Imp. Deteriorate their Imp, my Imp kills it. Rook and Haunt kill two more, I birds. Or, do I not use Rook to attack and instead leave two skeletons and Garth up? That leaves Rook potentially dead and kills Bird’s Nest. I think I Heroes’ Hall at any rate, to get ready for Vandy deploy. If they’re going full Skeleton build, then I can pivot into a Strength Tech 2 plan instead, and wipe with DeGrey. That means I go for Mythmaking stuff now. Or instead of Birds, I just play a Graveyard as I save up for Tech II. I like Graveyard because it lets me catch up on cards, and I can rebuild my position while also recurring Imp if I need to.

could go for the rook kill but i want to save Garth’s maxband for an early skeletal lord, here’s hoping one of his first techs wasn’t thunderclap but given he didn’t know i was going so skeleton heavy at that point it’d be surprising, choice was to deterioate imp to keep bone collector alive or worker deterioate to keep nether drain, decided to tech wight as i’m losing nether

I have two options. I can boulder + Tech 2 + HH, I guess…hmm. Honestly, I think replaying Imp is good enough and spends gold better. 4 for Tech 2, Imp soaks Garth + 2 skellies, Bone Collector can’t kill Rook. Unless Midband Garth. That’s a risk I’ll have to take, because it’ll slow down dwarddd significantly.

Blast that timely deteriorate. well, gonna have to see what I can tech for max effectiveness before Zarramonde comes down. To stop big Z, I need to have barbarbar with a Dinosize. Lookout actually protects a unit from Big Z this turn.

Ah right, Big Z hits heroes too. Then I’m toast. My out is dwarddd not having Z.

@dwarddd’s turn!

You got a gold from jandra dying in scav, u want to do anything extra/different or just float 2?
Also if it makes any difference i just realised my skeleton in the turn i posted i had actually sacrificed at the end of my turn

Actually yeah in that case I’ll also summon Arg and patrol Wisp in Tech, keep Arg in backline.

can’t be having a dinodinobarbarbarian even if the trade is poor

zarra ca’t obliterate vandy cuz resist 1. Hence barb is alive

I feel bad about forgetting to record that, but it is correct. Literally the first time I’ve seen this be relevant.

in which case i will use ZtO to kill Arg and not attack with anyone else (will update patrol above), and i can tell you from the number of times i’ve let myself forget it and be caught out, its a very nice touch to her midband

there is no arg out tho
