Well positive is I get a unit down and Bansa didn’t, downside is my next hand will have nothin good to play… Spose I try to play for Rook max maybe? We’ll see!

Aw cmon, the triple card combo that keeps Grave safe? Booo. Well I spose I still trade well with it. Probably losing rook here but that’s fine, since Discord is a strong possibility I will skip Birds this time and do Sharks instead. Hitting back just right could be the thing that upsets the apple cart for Bansa’s weird pressure gambit here (going down to 3 cards feels pretty risky but we shall see).

This super sucks, I have nothing safe to do basically… Could maxband Rook in Elite, could suicide Rook, Bombaster AND Zane to kill Rook, or could try to turtle. Problem is Maxband Rook is a pretty tough problem for me, but hopefully that just doesn’t happen. We’ll see I guess
Hmmm… Rook isn’t the win con? Teching isn’t the win con? Wat is going on… I guess I will max Rook and take the kill? Means one less bird and a chunky blocker, might lose my tech1 though… I spose I tech another Birds for that possibility? Sure, and the other Ancient. Idk this is a super weird game
Honestly, I wasn’t even thinking about win con until you said it. Tech II Growth means game over so was doing what I can to delay it. Was on a survival mode.

big sigh … would have won if i kept both birds… what a throw… two main threats are sharks and ba… he can’t do both tho… might still have a slim chance…
Got double Earthquake in hand. GG! I was actually debating between other tech choices until you alarmed me about win con. And I was regretting the choice during the following turns thinking sharks will eat me alive. You were right after all although it prolly was the result of lucky vs unlucky draws. T3 birds’ nest saved me big time. Even with that super lucky draw though, things weren’t looking good for me as it was just barely enough to put things even from very bad T1 split. I’m guessing (haven’t looked yet) it was your unlucky draw in a crunch time that really drove things down this way.
I could have used birds on turn 5 instead of the ancient I couldn’t play, and sharks sometime sooner. Definitely the birds draw for your turn 3 was killer though, I thought for sure you would go for discord early and thus went sharks, that was a costly mistake. Getting your earthquake to line up there was also fortunate but you played well.
