Garth + Bashing is fun, but difficult. Not sure whether I want to go for virtuosos or Skeleton Lords. The former might be better against Prynn: it makes use of more units than just Lords, so less critical targets to Undo.
I don’t want to open with a hero in case of Calamandra coming out, but Jandra is not an ideal opener, even against P2 White. I’ll bring out Garth anyway, see if I can get a Skeleton swarm going.
No Calamandra, that’s good. 3 gold after worker + Tech I, so I could play either Thieving Imp or Summon Skeletons. Oh, or Skeleton + Poisonblade Rogue, but I don’t think I need it here: I’m not expecting Stewardesses until turn 3.
Teching double Bone Collector, let’s go for skellies.

We weren’t wrong but we had different vulnerabilities. I feel like we should do someting about Skeleton spam. I guess Stewardess is helpful to that end along with a Centaur for Overpower. Rewind is probably one of the best solutions, particularily with Lich’s Bargain hanging around being threatening. So let’s see if we can’t keep that in the back pocket. I suppose Murkwood Allies is also a fine enough answer to Skeletons.

OK, hopefully I can hang on for Archery here. My best Tech III to sneak onto the board with Lords is Blademaster, which doesn’t go particularly well with Skeleton Archery, but it would give my other units something to do.

Hmm, Past II could be nasty. Now’s a good time to tech in spells, then next turn I tech in things to fetch. Doom Grasp could be nice here, Two Step is also good for my Archers. Or maybe I want Lich’s Bargain? Bit risky with Stewardesses around.
Holding off on killing the Flagbearer here, so flagrantangles shouldn’t have any Tech II units in hand.
I’m not sure Garth is staying alive here, either removal or Origin Story will do the track. Well, never mind.
