This deck again… hopefully it works out better for me this time. Getting Sensei in T! doesn’t hurt.

Note: I’m going camping this weekend, so my Turn 2 probably won’t happen until Monday.

It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do in this matchup…

Thoughts

A Garth opening? Very interesting. If he’s planning to use weenie patrollers, I think I’ll go for overpower. Probably not a bad idea anyway, when I may be able to dump runes on them later. If he tries to Lich’s Bargain, I’ll probably try to maxband Rook and time two-lives to kill the Horror as he runs out of health, though that may be a bit optimistic.

Eh… could be worse. I want to switch back to Rook ASAP, though, so Argagarg, fetch me a card, please? Teching in Growth fuel.

Arg still comes with his wisp, even when snapped in

This feels like overkill to take down Grave, but I don’t want him maxbanding on me. With luck, Rook’ll protect my back line and I can get Safe Attacking in play to support the Centaurs.

I can’t keep up with that rate of deployment, so I’ll resign it here. GG WP. @FrozenStorm

Gg. I was really worried about Birds coming out, so I was very happy my Snapback draws lined up with profitable moments.
