Thoughts
So Bomber took a risk and only teched one Garrison, which is great news for me. Injunction on tech 1 + breaking tech 2 should pretty much lock this down.

Oof, never underestimate the board-breaking power of Drakk with a bunch of gold. I’m tempted to go for some Geiger shenangians, but I think investing in an Immortal now and making sure I have Injunction next turn is the smarter play.

I guess you mean whiffing the Garrison on T6? Yeah, that was a tough break.
As for your comment on me always having an answer, that’s par for the course when combining the game’s most consistent hero with the most snowball-y tech 2, with a little bit of Bigby’s control and hand-manipulation sprinkled in. Credit to @cstick who ran (the legal version of) this codex a couple tournaments back.
Personally, I’d place Drakk at the same tier as Garth. It’s just that Garth is more consistent, while Drakk has more snowball potential. They’re both way up there with Vandy, Rook, and… I guess that’s it.
