Sorry, I’ve missed to update my template to show I should have been floating a gold. ><
Did that misinformation influence your turn? ..

No, I knew you were floating.

  • Worker: Timely Messenger
  • Tech: Two Step, Discord

[details=Player 2, Turn 4]Excellent, that’s exactly what I wanted to happen.

Tech in the 2nd Cadet + Drill Sergeant.

Hand:
Gunpoint Taxman
Hardened Mox -> Worker
Temporal Research

Alternate play:
Worker
Max Zane, shoving Fencer somewhere. Clear the board, drawing a card and leaving me with a 4/1 Zane just hanging around with no defense. That seems pretty weak.

If I skip a worker, I could get another guy out, or if I just draw less next turn. I think I’m in good enough shape, though, with just holding Zane in reserve. Don’t even need patrol bonuses - I would rather protect the Tech II better / cost Zejety more gold = delay his Tech II while I continue to get gold advantage.

Against any reasonable hand you could have, I have no way to prevent lethal damage next turn, so I’ll pack it in.

Gg! The last undefeated has fallen!
