Well, it’s mono red. Gotta put up a good defence and not get run over. Basically the same as last match but I don’t have to deal with Garth shenanigans.

Bomber gets to explode tempo like Rambasas here. I think my gameplan is to shore up and run for Gunships, maybe even try for Mines. Don’t like all that sidelining capability though.
Hopefully I’ve done this right and I don’t get blown out by red things. I think I’m safe, but you never know vs red. If I’m right, then I get a strong board next turn and should be able to take control.

Thinking GPT is the way to go here, keep White on the back foot by midbanding Drakk, kill Sensei, Mad Man trades. Rook can bulk up with a triple Level of his own, level to 6. But he could do that anyway to try and kill Drakk.
Shame that I didn’t draw the fencer, but that’s how it goes. Just sac Rook instead and get some defence and birds. Next turn we strike back with Fencer!

First inclination is to maxband Zane, push bird into scavenger, kill Grave. Wastes 2 gold but clears most of the zone. Actually, it’s more efficient to midband Zane for 5, play Mad Man, kill Grave, maxband and bop bird into Scavenger. Pillage? Probably not worth a card here. Teching in Max Anarchy because I think Zane stands a reasonable chance of surviving two turns (watch him die next turn to double Nimble Fencer), and it’s the perfect time for a boardwipe as I try for Anarchy plan.
I’m leaving myself very defenceless in the face of Anarchy, so I must build Tech 2. We can block up with tech 0s and probably build a tower or heroes’ hall while we try to take control before gunships arrive.

So Tech 2 is still up, I can speed to Tech 3 here or break Tech 1. I think I stay behind if I break tech 1, overwhelming with Tech 3 is my gameplan at this point. And if I put Tech 3 up, I keep Tech 2 safe. Currently worried about Colossus base-racing me before I can get gunships out. Wish I could justify putting Jaina out but I might need Ember Sparks.

And now we begin the race to draw Gunships! Zane is 2, each Lizzo is 4, so I can only deploy so much. Zane plus two Lizzos. Zane, first Lizzo trades with River, Zane to 3, crap I don’t have enough gold to midband Zane. Well, Zane can trade, then. Lizzos might want to kill Fencers in that case. Zane trades with Monk. Keeps haste off the table.
