well, i wanted to go graveyard, but i think i need to take that gold trade and command board position. with only 5 gold next turn, he’s looking at gg 5, worker 4, tech one 2, playful panda / tiger cub / merfolk / arg.

next hand for me is looking like gg 6, worker 5, tech one 4, mid vandy 2, hero’s hall. especially if i can clear his board again

Bad start. Should have played the Young Treant, or better a hero. Didn´t think of Sacrifice the Weak there. Investing in Rich Earth is a dangerous path. And, unluckily, the second draw brought Galina Glimmer to early. Hmmm, lost initiative already, this will be a rough ride…

5

i think panda arrives exhausted, so you would only be able to patrol with wisp.

You are right of course! Edited.

Pressure is on. I try to slip out of his grip with Circle of Life. I he doesn´t kill the Prospector I will bring a Giant Panda probably. If he kills him I hope to draw a Glimmer or Owl (hopefully not the Shambler!). Sacrifice the Weak and Deteriorate could be a problem.

edit: add the values of the Prospector

You also have to add your Heroes’ Hall :wink:

i think i will worker the thieving imp and keep the summon skeletons. it might be useful with a midband garth out there later.

without any tech’s, im thinking he might have just teched a circle of life. however, with no tech 1, that won’t be a threat just yet.

well, i can clear his patrol and tech up. bring in two maestro’s to try and get one down right away.

hopefully discord can do some work for me next turn.

13

Do I discard the Merfolk Prospector before I draw a card for the Technician?

No Glimmer and no Owl. Bummer. Have to tech a second Circle and do something for the defense. Should I play the Merfolk Prospector or not? Hand becomes dangerously thin.

edit: corrected card distribution

16

I drew him indeed :weary::slightly_smiling_face:

17

shouldnt your hand be

end of turn 3
hand: 4
deck: 0
discard: 4

merfolk dies, added to discard (5) reshuffle, draw 1
hand:5
deck 4
discard 0

THEN tech 2 cards at the start of turn 4
hand 5:
deck 4
discard 2

turn 4 you worker (4 cards in hand), forest favor (3), rampant growth (2), merfolk (1)
discard 1, draw 3
hand: 3
deck: 1
discard: 5

@FrozenStorm, let me know if im going crazy. i’ll wait to confirm before posting my turn.

No, you are right. I had the Tech cards already logged in when I made my Technichian draw. As I didn´t draw any of those two cards it´s fairly easy to correct. I just move them from the Deck to the Discard Pile. And you made a small mistake: I just drew 2 cards, so there are still two cards in my deck. I think then it is o.k.

Sorry for that!

19

drew 2 cards? your post still says discard 1, draw 3.

20

I think he’s saying he maybe drew two by mistake on the techn.
Anyways, my count matches what you’ve both concluded, 3/1/5. Carry on :wink:
