Nasty stuff, but I have my tech break lined up! kidnap dragon, kill Midori, doom grasp Drakk to sac dragon, be sad I can’t play graveyard to steal dragon, then be sad my tech 2 is dead so I can’t do all that. Summon skeleton Doom Grasp (5) isn’t bad, Garth can break T2 and Guide can break Tower. I still have two fliers looming over me, but whatever. I’ll have to live with it.

@charnel_mouse’s turn!

Hmm. Teching Kidnapping in case Carpe tries to block with Cloud Sprites, going to hope he’s not got another Doom Grasp in hand and go for a base race.

… Ugh, what a terrible Treant draw. I don’t think I can afford to try and wait for my Tech II to come back, I’m just going to go for the base and hope he can’t take out both of my fliers.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH wow. Pity I can’t get Drakk frenzy, but I’ll take what I can get. Going to play out a lot of cards so that I have board tempo to work with next turn.

@charnel_mouse’s turn!

Don’t think you needed to lose the Javelineer there, so you could’ve replayed the Fencer?
Anyway, well played!

Looks through your techs
Wow, glad I gambled on not killing Garth.

So my main reason was wanting the javelineer in patrol, which turned out to be not great. But with that alternate line, I would’ve been dead to kidnapping + mimic + bloodlust since my best patrol was Fencer plus skeleton token.

Ah, I see. Using that extra 2 gold for Fencer instead of hall. Yeah, would’ve saved me a turn maybe?

I feel like a turn was all you’d need for a base kill, I went for base because my last two hands were terrible for defence. But I haven’t thought out what your hand could be.

Also, I hadn’t even thought about hasted Chameleons for quick building destruction, thanks for the suggestion :wink:
