Midori only has flying on codexnewb’s turn, so Mimic doesn’t actually have flying when you kidnap it.

It’s a little cramping to only be able to summon one hero, but I think I got the best of this exchange, cleaning up the entire board and keeping board presence while also rebuilding T2. Annoyed to float that gold, but I can’t afford to bust up my Tower for a Surplus. Too low of health for comfort.

Wandering Mimic into Nullcraft (AGAIN) will be annoying, but at least I don’t have to face two Mimics. From here, I think I’m sufficiently-stabilized that I can swing back and dominate the game from here on out.

I need to build t3 and protect it from everything. Preferably including null mimic.

Tower stops lizzo shenanigans.

Option 1: Zane into surprise sharks (7), they plus ping from Firebat (8) deals with all but one soldier. Level Zane thrice (11) to finish the final soldier (10). Drakk and Hunter trade into Oni, max Zane. Before this, Lizzo breaks t2, stopping mimic (14). Drop Jaina. (16)

End result: 3/3 haste, 2/3 l1 hero, 4/4 l6 hero, 5 cards in hand vs empty board and no t2

Option 2: actually I can’t find a better option than “clear out ptz and t2”. Without t2, cn has no haste options or removal.

Things finally seem to be settled, but we’ll see if any surprises come along. All I’m envisioning is Moment’s Peace to stall for a T2 rebuild, but that can’t stop me from playing pirate ship.

and that’s it. GG man! im actually pretty satisfied with how well balance plays with purple/peace engine. i think the turn that really did me in is drawing both AOW’s T7. i was banking on the AOW cycle for at least a turn or 2, and had to go max Midori instead, and the miics were only supposed to be a 1 turn thing, not a long term end game. lol.

Gg! That was a really tense game, and you pushed me into some really awkward situations. Losing two tech buildings on one turn was brutal. Time to go read secrets! (I love doing that.)

yeah! thanks for the extra game, and good luck the rest of the tourney.

You’re welcome! It was good to get a better feel for red’s other gameplans. Good luck!
