Going with Imp over Jandra here, to keep zhavier low on cards even if he just plays a hero. If Brogre trades, I can Deteriorate the Dog next turn and stabilize.

Hitting my cards, but letting me keep my board presence. Do I risk him deteriorate’ing for free and get 2 damage on his base, or leave dog in lookout as bait. I think I’ll try to burn him down, given dark pact…

I think that worked out pretty well, I traded $3 and 2 cards for $3 and 3 cards of zhavier’s. Birds are likely incoming, so I’ll need a Taxman, along with DP to stay ahead on cards, naturally. I’ll put my remaining gold into Vandy to make sure she survives (barring an expensive Charge), since I’m not sure a HH will be of any use to me.

bah, what a terrible draw. But thats the problem with Imp. Plus side, he is in the same situation with 5 cards in his deck, down side, he will almost certainly have dark pact in there. That means he only has 1 tech 1 to play with, probably the highly efficient gunpoint taxman. Chances are very good I will just max rook next turn and tech up, unfortunately.

Looks like a safe enough board for me to tech up. I’ll just try to dig for Taxman first.
…
No Taxman for me. I can’t protect a Graveyard, and can’t afford Imp or Jandra. So I guess I’ll drop Jav and float $1, and hope zhavier doesn’t screw me over with a Charged Taxman or something.

I could kill vandy with mad man and Rambaster and tech up, but Rook would certainly die, or he could do horrible things with zane and mimic. I could max rook letting him max vandy with little downside. I could get birds out and mad man to provide some fighting back ability. that’s probably my best bet here

Edit 1: teched cards.
Edit 2: redid my draw.

I’d like to threaten Meta next turn, but I don’t want to give zhavier a doomed bird… So I’ll let Rook live for now and just flood the board. Let’s see if I can set off a double flying hasted Mimic next turn.

Basilisk wasnt quite what I thought would be first on the list, losing nest is mildly annoying, but at least I can deny flying mimics by trading my bird. Meta has to go, im just glad he didnt max yet, and dark pact now that he is low on cards Zane tricks could cause me problems here, but no matter what Rook lives. My own zane tricks should be pretty effective.

you forgot to tech.

Looks like your card+worker count is the same as the turn before, did you tech anything?

Oops, my bad! I’ll edit the post, should I redo the draw even though there was no reshuffle?

I believe the rule is there is always a redraw after turn corrections. @FrozenStorm

My turn is posted regardless.

2 Likes

I would re-draw, as the information of what was drawn may (subconsciously or not) affect the tech decision (if you drew well, you may tech more optimistically, or tech safer if you drew poorly).

Honest mistake, when in doubt re-draw.

Surprise attack or board flood blooming. I don’t like either option really. if I can’t kill Zane and my own Zane, then he’ll just hit me with another hasted mimic, either gy or in hand. with surprise attack I get everything but the basilisk, with basilisk trading with rook probably.

3-hero Meta, coming up! If I can dig it up with the first Dark Pact, I can make lethal with the second copy.
…
Didn’t get it with the first DP, so no lethal just yet. But I can afford Moment’s Peace, so I have little to fear from zhavier’s next turn.

Hard to think of a more thorough GG. :slight_smile:

Well played. You get the bye while Frozen and I fight for the rematch with you.
