You need to draw a card, because I will

Play Bigby Hayes and cast Community Service on your hand. You might draw something I want!

@Eijolend If you draw your card so I can see your full hand, then I can make one more turn tonight ^^

Sorry, didn’t see your post until now.

The card I draw is Forest’s Favor.

Thoughts

Okay… losing a game on Turn 3 is certainly a new experience. If I manage to hang on I should be fine though because of my superior economy and Tech advantage, but that’s a very big IF.
Heroes’ Hall is definitely the way to go because everything Bigby does is directed against units, so with 2 strong heroes I should be able to do cause some problems. I don’t think Tech II will help me right now because I fear Injunction and it would just give him more high-value targets to steal. The dream is to get the Behind the Ferns + Tiny Basilisk pick-off on Bigby, but I doubt that will work. Slightly hesitant to tech more Tiny Basilisks because if he steals them my hero-based plan has a problem, but I feel they are my only avenue of attack right now.
I see several ways how he can clear my patrol zone next turn, but Argagarg and the Heroes’ Hall should be fine.

Phew, so at least for one more turn I will be safe from Community Service and Injunction. I threaten to kill Jandra next turn via Calamandra’s stealth, which will wipe his board even if he brings out some Mirror Illusions or similar. Quince and Free Speech will stop that plan but won’t really hurt me much, so does a Tower. But the thing I’m most worried about is Orpal and Sickness which would allow him to trade his board for mine retaining board control until he can Community Service again.

I haven’t really played Moment’s Peace before, but it seems perfect if he likes to steal my units and I have to defend using only heroes. Murkwood Allies should be a strong play next turn if Calamandra survives (and I see her surviving to anything but Sickness, but I probably missed something…) unless he casts Free Speech.

If I can’t take the board over decisively in one or two turns I will have to get Tech II and III in order to leverage my economy and tech advantage. Note he still does not have a Tech I building.

Forgot Deteriorate and that 0 combat damage does not trigger deathtouch (which should make Tiny Basilisk all around bad against black, why did I tech them again?)… Oh well this is terrible, but I don’t think it’s over yet. Except for Injunction I don’t think there is anything he can do to stop me from winning the race to Tech III.
Plan for next turn is Moment’s Peace and Tech III, which should make it impossible for him to disrupt me before T-Rex comes out.
Weakpoints are again Free Speech, but I haven’t seen him use Quince this game yet, or Carrion Curse which is a likely option and could seriously hamper me. At least he can’t do either of those options AND feasably cast Community Service AND build Tech II.

Hope my economy lead is enough to carry this home through all the trickery he might still have up his sleeve.

@neigutten did you pay 1 extra to deteriorate the basilisk?

I did not! Luckily I floated one gold that turn ^^ so I’ll use that to fix
