Tower effect is shared afaik.
I agree with @Marto that we should probably worker Neo Plexus. I assume we worker Bluecoat Muskteer on the blue side?
If weāre going to be teching beefy Tech 1 units for Purple, and putting the Mox to work, Iām thinking we might want to consider Past Tech 2. Red / Black have no answer for upgrades, and Second Chances looks like a good fit for this matchup. We might even get use out of Slow-Time Generator. It looks like it scales well in 2HD, as itāll be effectively cheaper for us to play it. The big impact I think it has is that it makes it way harder for them to leverage their insta-maxband hero effects.
Agree on workering musketeer and plexus
Tower can only be built by one deck and affects everything that attacks, but still only detects one thing per turn.
Do we agree then ?
Blue
Newsman (2)
Worker Musketeer (1)
Float 1g, newsie in SQL
Purple
Mox (1)
Worker Neo Plexus (0)
Mox in SQL
As for turn 2, I agree on building a Tower now that I know how it works 
What should blue do ? Quince, Inspector, tech I ?

I think it depends on what they do, but I think weāll want Oni (partially to hit back with, partially for boot camp. If we keep the float, I like dropping director in addition to inspector
I see consensus on the turn. Iāll post it in a couple hours unless you would like me to wait until tomorrow.

Next turn we face at least 7-worth atk (plus sparkshot). Building a Tower seems to be pretty necessary. So Purple would build Tower, Tech I and float 1 (worker Plasmodium I guess ?).
Blue turn will need some second thoughts though. We have 6 gold, 4 after worker (Spectral Aven ? Unless we go for a Truth tech II it is unplayable against black and red) and tech I. I suggest Inspector over Traffic D but anyway either should die pretty soon soā¦
The question is: do we summon a hero ? (Iād say yes) And who ?
With Mox as SQL 1, Newsman as SQL 2 and Inspector as any Tech/Scav, we have 7 hp to oppose Red/Black 's 7 atk. With Deteriorate, they can disable Mox, so if they add Charge on something or Rambaster, we lose the Tower. So maybe we should patrol our hero ?
If we do, I believe summoning Quince should work as well as any other, as they can use both heroes and skeleton on newsman; hence our heroās Atk doesnāt matter against Haunt/Dog. So I suppose having a free Mirror would be fine, especially if we draw Manufacturing Truth on T3.
Now, what do we tech ?
For Purple, I honestly do not know. I would tech at lease one Stewardess, as Red tech 0 are decent and I suspect Bombaster/Ogre on next turn, and against Garth, Stewardesses are a must. Maybe we could tech 2x Stewardess, or a Glaxx for some Quince midbanding ?
For Blue, Iād tech 1 Cadet and 1 Brave Knight (some Manufacturing combo). Again, Spectral Hounds seem prohibited against Red/Black

No Vandy is good news IMO. Jaina OTOH makes me a little uneasy.
Tenative first crack at turns to give discussion points:
##Blue
Tech Boot Camp, Overeager Cadet
Onimaru (4)
Building Inspector (3)
Traffic Director (2)
Worker ā¦ Aven? (1)
Tech 1 (0)
SQL TD, Scav Inspector, Techn Newsie?
Could get blown up but at least we recover resources for it, and tower forces bad trades generally? Oni should be safe to anything but an all-in attack, they are laying 4 damage on red and 3 on Black? Jaina can move up to 3 + sparkshot though, which would give Black an open lane at him.
##Purple
Tech Stewardess, Argonaut (Stewardess great against skeletons, Argonaut great as a wall and to hit back with)
Tower (2)
Worker Plasmo (1)
Tech 1 (0)
SQL Mox still
What are folks thoughts?
Can I join still? Havenāt looked at the other thread. Don;t know If Ill have a lot to contribute but interesting in joinging the conversation!
You are hired!
As I mentioned (I guess we crossposted ), we must consider Deteriorate on Mox. Playing 2 units on Tech/Scav look very strange to me, as we could have all the lane blown out with little damage for Team 2 - Dog trades with TD, Garth and Jaina kill Newsman/Inspector. Whatās more, with a Rambaster, weād lose Tower (even without Deteriorate, a Midband Jaina/Garth would suffice).
I didnāt realize we can loan units to block for one another! Also yes, we must have posted nearly same time 
100% agree then that we should split a defender to Purpleās side.
Also, am I extrapolating from your posts that they need to penetrate BOTH patrols to hit EITHER backline?
The patrol zones protect both players, so even if one opponentās patrol zone is empty, you still canāt attack that playerās buildings if you could have attacked patrollers in his partnerās patrol zone. You also might be facing two squad leaders.
Good news for us 
Edit: but we canāt patrol in the other playerās patrol zone.
Okay yea, I went and re-read the Rules of this (Page 15 of this PDF for Two Headed Dragon Mode) and we CANT put patrollers in our partnerās zone, but BOTH ZONES are protecting EITHER PLAYERāS backline (and we have the shared 30hp base, nice extra padding against hyper-aggro red and black).
In that case, I think your argument for Quince is sound, as is the case for playing only one of TD/Inspector. I still would prefer to tech Boot Camp over BK I think though: we can MTruth off Purpleās T1 units.
Is your proposed patrol for blue SQL Newsie, Quince Scav, Inspector Lookout, Mirror backline? I think I like that as well
You appear to have the rules correct now.
So, some Tech speculation:
Purple: 1/2 Stewardess and 1/0 Argonaut/Gilded Glaxx
Iām worried about surviving the next couple turns, and the tempo gained from Stewardess and bulk of a 3/4 makes me feel better about that. Since weāre playing against 2 players, 1x Stewardess will almost always hit something, but 2x might not. As for Argonaut v. Glaxx, Iām tending towards Glaxx, since it scales better, and Iām not sure Argonautās ability matters much right now.
Blue: This oneās harder. I want to tech a Boot Camp because itās really good, but it kind of only makes sense if we donāt play Onimaru this turn. But weāre a bit low on stats against their board this turn, and that makes playing him sound good. Quince can get a few bodies patrolling, and they are weak, but Tower shores that up.
