Will try sinking resources into Rook, then use as a wall to give me time to play MoLaC. Hero focus also deals with repeated discards from Imp/Shadow Blade. Expect to see some -1/-1 rune donors come out in response.

Did you see my comment 2h ago, that I missed you had built Tech 3 and would like to replay the turn if that’s OK with you?

17

Oh, I didn’t see that second message until I’d made this post. I’ll have to decline, at this point - sorry!

18

I’ll withdraw from the match in that case, would not like to play it out
@EricF

Game goes to you, my oversight. Unless you would like to agree a friendly draw under the circumstances.

(My redo would have been to use Birds+Chaos Mirror to break Tech3, Zane to activate MoLoC, then Rambaster arrives to clear remaining patrol, leaving me with 6/6 flying Bird#1, 6/6 flying Bird#2, 8/6 Zane, 6/5 Rambaster, and also have Charged Oversized Rhino guaranteed the following turn.)
