[details=Summary]Tech in a Nebula and a Void Star, and we’ll see where this goes…
Hand:
Time Spiral -> Swap w/ top
Hooded Executioner
Forgotten Fighter -> Worker
Deck: Xenostalker, then Void Star
So, I could bet everything on Sacrifice The Weak not being in hand at the moment… which isn’t all that unreasonable so let’s go with it!
[/details]
Tech 2 card(s)
Get Paid - ($8)
Midband Drakk - ($3)
Frenzied Skeleton trades with Neo Plexus
Horror trades with Stalker, you draw
Frenzied Zombie trades with Vir, Drakk to max
Bone Collector #2, gets haste from Drakk - ($1)
Frenzied BC#1 and Skeleton break your Tech II, your base to 18, I get a Skeleton
Frenzied BC#2 and Garth break your Tech I, your base to 16, I get a Skeleton
Shoddy Glider - ($0)
Frenzied Glider trades with Void Star, you get 1g
I’m really surprised I won that. I felt like you were way ahead until I got Tech II up - Future is crazy expensive, and I can trade very efficiently. Lich’s Bargain is very strong - maybe too strong…
After thinking through various scenarios, I determined that the Peace engine could not beat Lich’s Bargain backed up with Crashbarrow(s), so I had to try something different.
If the Void Star had survived, I think I had a chance to win the base race by just powering up and attacking the base directly twice, while dropping as many warm bodies as possible in the meantime to dodge Sacrifice the Weak.
