Thoughts

I think I have to break Tech 2 again, I think I can actually race gunships here. Or I can midband Drakk (5), Zane + Lobbers clear out the non-skeletons, Jaina trades Garth and maxbands Drakk, summon GPT, or maybe GPT kills a patroller to steal the gold and let me worker. I like this better, and the nice bit is that Recurring Crashbarrow is not possible here due to Graveyard limit. Next turn is gonna be rough, though.

@charnel_mouseā€™s turn!

Thoughts

Main question here is whether I can destroy the Tech II. Iā€™d need 9 attack. Options, with (attack) for (gold):

  • Shoddy Glider, 3 for 1
  • Unit from Graveyard, 3 for 2 if using Bloodlust
  • Zane + Surprise Attack, 8 for 7
  • Zane, 2 for 2
  • Midband Drakk, (# attackers i.e. up to 3) for 3 if Drakk already played
  • Thieving Imp, 2 for 3 if using Bloodlust, plus card drain
  • Drakk + Bloodlust, 2 for 4, plus whatever Bloodlust hastes

Surprise Attack excludes doing anything with Drakk, so Iā€™d be locked in to Surprise Attack + Shoddy Glider for attack. That requires wasting a lot of damage when killing Drakk, so Iā€™d only kill Drakk and destroy Tech II, and only have a unit from the Graveyard on board afterwards.

Drakk + Bloodlust is more flexible. Bloodlust on Shoddy Glider or Bone Collector kills Drakk without waste. Say we Bloodlust BC, trade with Drakk, my Drakk hits level 3, I have 4 gold left and can hit something else with Bloodlust. That could be Drakk or Skeleton Javelineer to help Shoddy Glider destroy Tech II, or I put it on Glider and midband Drakk for Glider to destroy Tech II on its own. Or I hit Carpeā€™s Taxman with it, but then I donā€™t destroy Tech II, and I havenā€™t seen a Tech II unit at all so that makes me a bit nervous. I think the best option is to put it on Drakk, then play Shoddy Glider and destroy the base, then I have 3 gold left to play Thieving Imp. Destroying Tech II and leaving Carpe on 2 cards when all his heroes are dead should be pretty devastating.

Well played! Being aggressive early to get us both down on cards eventually worked out, but it took a lot of scary turns to get to that point.
