My Thoughts

I think pressing him on cards and trying to force a Hero out is a good play for me. Early game Vandy just isn’t as effective against a Purple Peace engine. I am definitely going to focus more on Finesse Engine this game, as the skeleton thing was a disaster last game. Probably first tech DP + Fencer, next turn Graveyard or Garth + Skele + T1, we’ll see what he does!


Ohh, you’re player one this time.

My Thoughts

A rare instance of Jandra being the right call, but this is a perfect situation for her. And with Plexus as one of the blockers, I feel good about teching Shadow Blade + Dark Pact here. Should lead to me killing Onimaru and bleeding his cards further, I think.

My Thoughts

Perhaps it would’ve been better to Shadow Blade the Plexus and SQL Jandra… Oh well. Wouldn’t even be in this mess if I’d drawn the deteriorate…

Going to tech a discord (b/c it’s solid against Peace, and b/c Oni max + Nullcraft alone makes it easily worth) and Maestro, and tech up to Finesse. Lay the Graveyard as one more thing for him to deal with, move along. I’ll have enough for Vandy + DP + River and (hopefully) Discord or Maestro. Workering StW b/c it isn’t super effective against Peace Engine (discord and Shadow Blade should do the trick)

Nice, drew the Discord already, so even if he has another Boot Camp and breaks my tech 2, I’ll still be able to kill Oni in all likelihood :slight_smile:

My Thoughts

Here we go… I have a guaranteed kill w/ Fencer on Oni. I’d love to dig up Maestro so I can worker as well, and if I don’t get Maestro it’s at least likely I could get Deteriorate or Starlet, which would also make for easier Oni killing (or maybe a combo!). Teching Fencer and Guide

Nice! This time the draw goes my way. As much as I’m a little worried about not taking the opportunity to Discord the Nullcraft now, I’d rather establish board dominance. He’ll likely respond with Drakk but I think that will be manageable.

Hmm, discord is not what I wanted on the RS, but it’ll do. He has a tough decision on what he’s going to choose to get rid of (graveyard? Maestro? Garth or Vandy if he has DS and a cheap unit / bloodlust/kidnapping?)

@zhavier Demonic Finesse engine strikes again, I look forward to playing you or @Dreamfire soon! (I imagine I’m playing the loser and the winner gets a bye?)

@Bryce_The_Rice I thought I was in trouble when you got the Vandy kill turn 3 (off my whiff of Deteriorate!) and the Tower choice was a clever one (instead of maxing Oni, which I expected!) but in the end, Free Cycling and playing of Finesse t1 proves once again to be ridiculously high tempo. GG WP, nice surprise Boot Camp techs!

I will never be happy about Vandy having hand destruction, but I just realised last turn I should’ve been teching brave knight.
Feels like I played this game half asleep… I think I should sleep more.
Gg dude. If my deck doesn’t stabilise tech 2, it dies.

Actually, as Dreamfire is the only 1 who does not already have a bye, dreamfire will automatically get a bye.
