merfolk in hand… seems like a standard play (maybe lvl cala to 3 to prevent cheap deteriorate…). where do i go from here? codexnewb suggested in his thoughts against persephone that he can’t handle molac well and also doesn’t like ba… is that a hint for my strategy this game?
note to myself: do not forget that he has fencers in his deck as a tech 1 option!
haha, well i certainly was when i created the account with that name. haha. GLHF!

well, odd opening split, not a lot of synergy between turns 1 and 2.
- sk archery, float 2, next turn gg 8, worker 7, tech 1 6, sk jav 5, tower 2,
- janda (scav), float 1, next turn, gg 7, scav 8, worker 7, tech 1 6, sk jav 5, tower 2,
- Thieving imp, same.
- mid vandy, next turn, gg 6, worker 5, tech 1 4, sk jav , tower 0.
im thinking jandra to elite. force him to spend some gold to kill her, otherwise, leave her alone.
worker Imp since ill worker jandra eventually too. id liek to save PBR just in case. she can be useful. i also want to save archery just in case i need anti air later.

OK, I’m satisfied for the moment… Prospector lives and has his aura. I wonder which hero I’ll see first. Seems like he has three attractive choices. Probably he’d like to see my tech choices first? For the moment I want to go for solid feral units that can deal with a Bc and don’t die to fencers

i can see why he would take that trade. he has every reason to bring in centaurs so long as he can drop a panda/wisp as well. huntress/centaurs deal with my fencers well.
i don’t really see a way to put any real pressure on him outside of mid vandy. he can gg 6, worker 5, rampant growth 3, cal kills vandy, maxbands, centaur 0.
i can bring in fencers as an all around good option. if vandy survives, i can tap for a dark pact, fencer - maybe tech up.

Wish I had drawn rampant Growth again… That would be nice 
but probably must not complain with huntress and centaur in hand… Only thing is that it leaves me vulnerable for stw. Guess I’ll just take the risk, but maybe tech in a panda as a blocker that comes with a wisp to sac? And should I take ferocity or btf? I guess ferocity stays valuable longer and can be better used for defense…

i think this is legal. can we get a ruling @zhavier?

okay, so i can board sweep, leaving me with weakened vandy. i think it’s worth it given how dangerous Cal can be.
vandy can handle arg/wisp. i can wall up against elemental if needed.
next turn, probably hero’s hall. regarding teching, im bringing maestro and starlet
if you mean the don’t boost huntress cuz resist, then yes, is legal.

Same, StW targeting was players choice, fine to choose centaur given tie in attack and tech level, resist does indeed prevent vandy Maxband targeting. Play on

chances are that he has a second fencer in hand… i’m not very confident constructing tech 2. so i’ll put out some units and maybe my verdant tree - just to have the option for an instant tech 2 in case i draw my BA (and feel safe to play it… which i actually doubt). plus the tree is a target, that he can’t ignore… kind of another patroller

going for the gold efficiency of maestro’s. skipping worker seems fine as P2, if it can net me some gold advantage from a maestro…
teching a maestro and a liches bargain as backup. ill be relying on that graveyard to help my hand / tempo.

idea 1: put centaur into scav, hope that he kills centaur but can’t get rid of tree and tech 2 - with 11 gold next turn i could hire ba & call allies…
idea 2: buff centaur with ferocity and put him into SQL. a swift striker with 3 attack could give him some problems…
both plans rely on him not having stw and/or grounded guide/more virtuosos. but sacrificing a buffed centaur would hurt even more, i think - so i’ll go with idea 1
all in all, it’s of course a desperate position. don’t really see how to turn this game around… with his graveyard set up and the initiative on his side, my outlooks are grim

alright, should i dark pact here? i have the gold for it. basically, i don’t have to worry about haste with his growth tech, but BA’a and MOlac are a big problem. I’m more worried about BA’s given his lack of board presence.
ill dark pact because vandy attacking his tree/base isn’t SUPER great for right now.
holy crap. could not have asked for a better draw. i will take that (knowing it will even out over time and ill regret it in a later game).
-clear the board
-break teh tree since i can
Next turn, max garth for the GG, maybe STW or LB depending on what i get. clear whatever he drops out there. we’ll see what he has in hand. fingers crossed…

nothing to prevent metamorphosis/grounded guide from discard-combo… 
actually, i think i’ll concede… no need to bother you with another turn, if you don’t want to unless you’d like to, of course!
really thought about maxing calamandra and buff her with forest’s favor to kill vandy on turn 3. but having both tech 1s at hand just was too tempting (and 4g for a damaged Cala seemed too expensive). and i originally didn’t want to put too much gold into calamandra in case of Doom Grasp. somehow that thought stuck to my mind even when i saw vandy out…
WP anyway!
sounds good! GG!!
regarding turn 3, i think i would have done the same had i drawn both techs. can’t blame you there!
