Thoughts

Hmm. I want Zane and Detonate (5), but what else to do? I could midband River to get that SQL Cadet out of the way and get to the important stuff. And then the Money trades with the Hound, I guess? Or it trades with the SQL Cadet, and I midband Zane to get gold from killing the Bomber, leaving River L1 to defend. Iā€™d really like to shove that Hound to death, but I donā€™t think I can afford it. Maybe I just need to defend with the Ogre. Workering the Birdā€™s Nest, theyā€™ll arrive too late now to be worth it. Teching in Steam Tanks to block and have more units in my deck, see if I can weather the storm long enough to get rid of the other Garrisonā€¦

Maybe there is a history I am not aware but why does anybody need to make sure if somebody is a cheater and how do you even check to see if somebody cheated?

26

Hah, itā€™s a throwback to a game last year where I got the rules wrong and technically cheated to win. After re-examining my turn, I found an alternate line that still won.
So now I just say it any time I win, especially after a complicated turn like that one (which Iā€™m doing with notepad and random.org, since I donā€™t have access to my usual tabletop simulator).

GG! Well played, man. Got myself stuck with a few hands full of spells and completely lost control.
