Thoughts

Hoping for no nullcraft next turn so I can try and keep up on economy.
He’s playing it pretty slow, so I’ll take the opportunity to build a board advantage. The tinkerer just loses him a gold so he probably has mox next turn. Plus he has good heroes and tiny basilisks. I think I’m forced to go for my own tiny basilisks? unless I went for owls or something. I think the likeliest techs from him are basilisks and overeager cadets, plus a mox to put a dent in my agression. I can answer that with basilisks and first strike. His tech II plan is probably peace so I need to stay on him and have a big turn when he builds tech II. these are my thoughts on this matter

I’m comfortable going down to 4 cards here because of my board advantage + pretty thin deck. 4 draws into 7 to get a ferocity is pretty good. I am expecting him to do tech II next turn, but he’ll have very little to offer on defense if he does.

Is there anything that kills Cala here? Battle suits + unphase from Vir + nullcraft? That seems unlikely and way too expensive, so she’s safe. I might not even go Tech II this game and just make tigers instead.

lol. he attacked after midbanding.

woops, forgot my thoughts from last time. T2 thoughts: okay, i expected him to heal cal, but he might just do that to start his turn since i have two 2 attack guys. putting fargo in sql instead of scav because i wont need the gold, and that way he might have to trade 2 units into him (hoping for now rampant growth). next turn i can drop a vir and mox. hell, maybe fargo will survive and give me some extra wall. ideally he’ll go the the econ play and wall up.

turn three thoughts: you know, im just happy this is all going according to plan, whether or not the plana ctually works, we’ll see, but this is improvement. i like this. so, if my tech 2 is broken, at least i can rebuild, drop some tech 1’s and max Oni.

So that turn went according to plan, cool. Since he specifically swapped a card with Vir I want to go for the Tech II this turn and play it safe - playing lots of stuff with Garrison is his way back into this game, after all. I could have built Tech II myself here, but I wanted the second Basilisk to keep him down. If he pulls out a maxbanded hero or a Glaxx or something, I’ll need to keep breaking through.

I’m getting low on cards…and I need gold to make up for it with tigers. I guess Galina and a Centaur for kicks? …no, I have a window to win here and I need to take it. At this point, I can’t see him making any significant dent in my board.

panda will still take damage from this (the mox is still alive to deal its damage back)

well, not going according to my ideal plan, but still going as i expected. i guess one thing im really missing here is hero removal. fully expect him to cycle ferocity at this point, double down on tech 1, and then arg spells.

teching second garrison and moment’s peace. i think ill just need to whether the storm here for another turn or two. end game is still garrison, really just need one solid turn to get back in teh game.

Ok, max Oni is here. Can I break through the patrol zone easily? Looks like no, not without spending a card I don’t really want to spend. So the next question is: can I withstand one turn of garrison plays? I think I can. He specifically dug for a card last turn, so that might have been the turn he had garrison…but maybe not, so I should plan for the worst. So in that case, I should only take favorable trades and build the board for another turn, and set myself up for a stampede win.

Should I Ferocity here? Or skip worker? Ferocity means the Basilisk doesn’t go back in my discard, which means I have a better chance of drawing Stampede. And I guess I’m all in on that plan at this point, so let’s do it.

Speaking of which, are there any spells that really screw me over here? I guess Moment’s Peace does, huh. So how do I beat that…just pray he doesn’t keep drawing them back to back, I guess. And Garrison + Drill Sergeant is 6g, so I think I’m safe to put the tiger in squad lead here…let’s see.

edit: soldier not to attack, redraw hand for next turn.

ugh, probably game.

It won’t deal sparkshot damage if it doesn’t live to deal it’s normal damage.

Are you sure about that? The wording on the ability is “When attacking a patroller, deals 1 damage to an adjacent patroller.” It doesn’t mention actually having to damage the target of the attack.

Sparkshot damage is dealt simultaneously with all other combat damage. — Sirlin, 03/11/16

If swift strike damage kills a unit or hero in combat that does not have swift strike, the non-swift strike unit or hero dies before it gets a chance to deal combat damage. — Sirlin, 03/14/16

Looks pretty clear to me that swift strike prevents sparkshot.
