Thoughts
Not entirely sure what to make of Midori. His spells are mostly reactive & he’s awfully expensive for multicolor P1. If they’re planning on getting any use out of him it would suggest they’re taking very cheap units, like Gemscout Owls. Air rush with Circle of Life? Tiny B cuts through Argagarg’s tokens if they’re worried about a stampede. Argonaut is their strongest tech I in a vacuum, would be surprised if they took two with the cost, though. If they’ve been watching my games, they’ll have seen how much I like Rich Earth, and might be thinking they’ll need at least one Owl to keep up in gold?
I have 8g. Options
- Rich Earth, Tech I, maxband Argargarg. (tech: Huntress and/or Centaur?)
- Worker, tech I, Playful Panda, maxband Arg. (tech: 2x Stampede?)
- Worker, tech I, Spore Shambler + Ironbark. (tech: Huntress/Spirit of the Panda?)
- Worker, Ironbark, maxband Arg.
Option #2 gives me up to 2x Wisp, Merfolk, Panda, Elemental as stampede targets. Assuming I patrol WE in SQL & it dies, that’s easily enough to wipe their board & probably kill tech I.
With nearly all options involving maxband Arg, is it possible they saw this coming and took Moment’s Peace? Maybe, but if they did I just tech 2x Dinosize and build tech II.
Having both Rich Earth and Prospector is really tempting, however… Polymorph beats Immortal, and untargetable Moss Ancient vs. T-Rex / Octavian gives me an edge in a tech III battle, except for Ready or Not. Any decently large Feral unit cuts down on Temporal Hyperion shenanigans, unless they have +1/+1 runes or something.
