Thoughts
This is an awkward pseudo-mirror match. I have hasted units in my starter to get early pressure going, but Ericf has Calamandra for some nasty stealth kills and mid-game spell use, and green starter’s better for long-term economy. Drawing Spark and Bloom on Turn 1 doesn’t help matters. I’m probably looking at River + Tiny Basilisk to eke out what early advantage I can.
Worst case for Eric’s patrol, I’m looking at facing a boosted Calamandra, or Calamandra sitting behind a Tiger Cub. Getting River and Timely Messenger down now, and threatening Wither next turn, seems the easiest way to prevent Eric just putting Calamandra as Squad Leader.
