Thoughts

hmmm, wasn’t expecting that. not gold efficient, but not that bad of a play either. the way i see it, i can either maxband vandy to boost a fencer, or dark pact to dig for maestro

  1. dig for dark pact - worst case scenario with that is graveyard/summon skeletons. if that happens. ill just drop garth, skeleton, PBR. best case scenario, i draw maestro and stw, and i can drop maestro 2, fencer for free, haunt runs into HH, tap fencer, break HH.

  2. if i dont dig for maestro - i can end up with max vandy and break his HH with doomed fencer. not too great.

lets go for maestro!!

yes! with no HH, he’s stuck with arg. hopefully he didnt tech stampede or anything. teching fencer and starlet. next turn, (assuming he kills maeestro) i can use second maestro and dark pact to flood the board, and also tech up. (gg 9, float 10, worker 9, maestro 6, tap vandy, dark pact 5, (2nd dark pact, fencer, starlet) free, tech 3.

i could skip worker to drop a graveyard, but ill need the gold and worker to tech 3 next turn. plus, i dont want graveyard just yet while haunt is out there i want to save it just for fencers.

lastly, should i deteriorate his merfolk? given that he didnt reshuffle again, id rather not give him the card. i doubt he teched stampede or other arg spells.

No, now I got it. Codexnewb, you forgot my Playful Panda. So again:

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

Playful Panda dies, merfolk dies, added to discard (6) reshuffle, draw 1
hand:5
deck 5
discard 0

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

That´s why I have 2 cards in my deck, not one. Man, looks like I´m going crazy.

Thoughts

i think ill flood the board, try and get deeriorate, use that and haunt to kill WE.

hmmm, didnt get it. lets try again

okay, didnt get deteriorate. ill just leave starlet in technician.

i might end up taking a lot of base damage from dark pact, but this game should work out with that. blademasters (most likely) coming in next hand.

even if he brings in stampede, im only looking at 5 max base damage. id rather leave arg alive one more turn than let him bring in potential midori, COL, heavy tech 2.

Time to surrender. WP. GG. Good luck for the rest of the tournament!
