Thoughts

thought about some gameplans, like – big demon first turn makes me very vulnerable. Didn’t think no hero 2 turns would be good gameplan for me. Feels like my army is scary enough this turn so i will clear his board next turn or he’ll skip worker/T1. ASG surely can go with earthquake Rook, but… but i would be soo much ahead by draws, so surely will steal his max level again and again.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

  1. If i don’t take Rook, it means i will patrol PBR AND he will have 4 cards in his hand vs 3 mine OR he will just kill my Vandy and Max rook
  2. If i take Rook, so whats next? No patrol means easy destroy my T1/HH/everything he wants

he drew 2 out of 8… According to game history he prefers not to tech 2 T2 cards on T1(but he could), so i prefer to think that there only 15/28 chance not to draw any T2 cards(chance is high, tho)

So … it worked. whats now? Destroy his T2 or METAAAAAAA?
After 1 day of thinking i found that may be i need to destroy T2 very much and no meta
After 2 days of thinking i found that may be i needn’t to destroy T2 – he can’t afford Big bodys + tower in 1 turn, same goes for MoLaC. Also i need NOT to have maxxed garth this turn

My Thoughts

Lacking token spam countermeasures here, and that’s a big enough board that I can’t really afford to just send it w/ Zane; any kind of haste or buff will 100->0 me. So I think continuing to turtle with tower and maybe try to score a base kill myself makes sense. Thunderclap and Polymorph maybe?

On the board, after STW on new skeleton: me(3 gold), some T1 unit(i need to tech him), and 1 +1 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 2 dmg. it is 13. With Starlet is 16. Sac new sceleton instead of STW, so can gain DP/Nimble Fencer = insta base kill (-1 dmg + 2 dmg). Can gain meta(before creating sceleton), so … 16 with taking DP after attacking with Vandy.(6 + 5 + 2(fencer) + 1 Haunt + DP = 16). If no base rush but with meta… can go for tower with Vandy(16 hp), then Garth to base(11 hp), then fencer to his base(9 hp), then haunt(8 hp). So insta kill next turn(vandy + dp) Could he kill my base through new skeleton? 14 + 2hp vs 10gold seems like no, so win. Can gain skeleton => same vibe, may be only with no skeleton in patrol after all. So 5/9 variants are very cool. Twilight Baroon…, Jandra…, Lich’s Bargain = Again big table, with which i’m sooo ok, so just put it all on the table. Shadow blade also for big table.Anyway, after destroying tower i would have enough gmd on the table to leave his base on 11 hp(6+5), so he will need to build his tower back.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

i have meta in hand and DP in codex

I shall fold then, GG WP! Would have been nice to get Birds + Charge to snipe Vandy, but don’t think I would have survived anyway, can’t quite deal with LB, perhaps could have with DeGrey but thought I could make Growth work in time. Clearly not :frowning:
