Mox is possibly the worst tech 0 against Purple, while Seers (and Tinkerer) counter both Future and Past strategies. I hesitated teching 2x Seer, but if Jadiel goes Present tech II and opts for stewardesses/argonauts, that’d be a waste. But playing Plasmodium on T2 doesn’t fit well with that plan… [/details]

I must tell you that for some reason, my Seer diappeared from my board state summary (on the board, not patrolling). I’ll edit my previous post for more clarity, but if that may modify your turn, tell me !

That’s fine, my turn is the same.

I had no idea Golgorts worked that way… they can rack up runes in a hurry! Cool stuff!

17

Yeah, that’s gg. Well played :slight_smile:

@EricF

18

If only you had been able to sneak in 2 base damage at any point…

Marto probably would have taken steps to prevent the kill, but that would have saved one of your buildings, at least.

19

Yes, I know - I did think of that line but as you said, Marto probably also did :slight_smile:

20

GG !

Unless I failed to see something, I could just patrol with Prynn to prevent base blast, right ? Max Prynn + Origin Story (or Prynn + Origin Story + double Undo/Undo-Forgotten Fighter) was unaffordable, and I fail to see any cheaper way to get past the two patrollers. Did I miss something ? :smiley:

Anyway, it was a really good game. I wasn’t sure that the board tempo the Stewardesses gave me was worth the cost (in terms of both cards and gold) but it seems it paid off. Yet I’ve still much to learn in the Mirror Purple match-up. I didn’t control my reshuffles as I would have wanted, and wasted the opportunity to rush Ebbflow Archon for that reason - but Archon isn’t the best possible answer against Omegacrons anyway…
