Thoughts: Not sure if skipping a worker was the right choice here, but I need bodies, cards, and a Two Step in my hand. Unfortunately, I drew them both so it was kind of pointless. >_>
Of course I summoned Grave with the intention of suiciding either him or Rook next turn (if he doesn’t die to Max Vandy in the first place).

Thoughts: I hate myself for skipping another worker but I cannot risk losing a bird and Two-Step to Sacrifice the Weak. With my second Two-Step also in Discard, I’d have no way of mounting any kind of offense. If this had not been necessarry, I could have used Messenger instead of Bloom and even saved another gold.
If I get Deteriorated AND Sacrificed the Weak’d I’ll have to scream.[/details]

Whew - thank Satan for Tech draws! I think I’m in a pretty solid position now, pending a wipe from Nimble Fencer Two-Step or something weird - just need to hold down the fort and win on the economy advantage.

Pestering Haunt
Yeah, this hit me hard. I skipped a worker to try and avoid StW.
Let’s see if I can make a comeback…
Also, small correction: I accidentally put Bloom on the board instead of the discard pile last turn. So my discard pile was actually 6 cards high, not 5. Correcting now…
[details=Turn secrets]* Hand: Discord, Fruit Ninja, Bird’s Nest
Worker: Bird’s Nest
Tech: 2x Earthquake
Thoughts: There’s a chance that a Banefire Golem will kill River (damn those terrible stats). Not attacking with my 2-hp dudes in order to not give more value to Golem.
