Thanks for the reminder.

After due consideration, no changes to my turn - I’ll just float the extra gold.

if you hadn’t finished it there, Prynn would have been at 1 Rune and I might have finally gotten to see Prynn’s midband trigger…

I agree, Zane MVP all the way.

GG. LVP to Summon Skeletons for doing nothing all game.

My original plan was to Forgotten Fighter and Nullcraft the tokens, and keep Prynn at 3 runes, but when I was looking for places to spend my last few gold, I realized that I could max Zane instead of playing FF & Nullcraft, and just win that way.

The skeletons did their job of soaking up or deterring attacks (and letting you Chaos Mirror productively) every time. I don’t know if you would have been better off playing Thieving Imp each time instead - different plays would have led to different plays - but the skeletons wasted a lot of attacks. They would have been even stronger, but Zane is just insane.
