Thoughts

I definitely feels less threatening than an Oni opening. Now I need to deal with Vandy.

TD+Aven seems mandatory. Only question is do I patrol Bigby in SQL and TD in Technician or swap them?

Vandy midband to tutor and cast Shadow Blade costs 6g total, leaving him with one 1g to Worker. Given the cost, I don’t think it’s something I need to be worried about.

Haunt wants to trade with TD so that he can StW my Aven, if I put him in SQL instead he has to waste Vandy or StW on it instead. StW seems desirable for him as Vandy + Haunt can then kill Bigby and he gets free levels without buffing my board.

Alternatively, I SQL Bigby which means he can’t kill him and get free levels unless he midbands Vandy and also trades in the Haunt. That leaves me with TD as StW protection/MT target for Aven or with Bigby in play. Sounds decent enough.

305

this should be interesting!

Dropping to 3 cards seems well worth it to kill off Vandy. Would have liked to play Hound too, but I get really vulnerable to hand destruction if I push down to just 2 cards

That patrol really messed up my board pressure, expertly played for sure. With that I’m now leaning heavy into illusions but throwing in some Bigby spell backup. I guess we’ll see if that’s enough.

Death Rites should be pretty good at combating Truth, and getting a big body Garth and Ghoul on the board + eliminating a “hasty” truth unit in the mirror should be decent. I have to skip worker but that’s okay, we’ll see how we do. Free Speech would be a little tough but should be manageable with Gorgon and Hoodie

Going full illusions, now with Macciatus which does make them more susceptible to some rune tricks but overall makes my board much harder to get through. Really want to get Free Speech up and try to push to Tech III

318

just to be sure, you know that 2 retellers still only bounce 2 illusions, right? cuz they trigger together and when the second tries to bounce the illusion already returned to hand it fails.

319

I hadn’t really thought about that aspect tbh, but I want the chunky patrollers regardless so it’s fine

320

The card does say “first two illusions each turn”, which seems straightforward enough.

So I think if I’m right here he’s got no way to kill Quince, since Hoodie+Boost kills the hound, he has to use his Gorgon to kill SQL (but he doesn’t get the card draw since it’s still alive) and then he has to trade in Orpal to clear my patrol, leaving Quince on 4HP. Given that limitation, I wonder what he actually does.
