My Thoughts

Kinda sucks to get both combats here but Jav is a good draw, that + Vandy is solid, play for pressure, I don’t think there’s any reason not to run Finesse T2? Graveyard a little sketch against Vir but not awful. Could do all-out heroes w/ Harmony / DP I spose? A little sketch against Stewie. Meta not a slam dunk against Prynn either though especially with no resist. Ah well spose we just play on and hedge the Meta / FinT2, usually works well. Gotta remember my DP and Det changes though!

GL HF!
Hope to be able to make it through this one, IRL has been a pain for the last few, though being matched with you and nightmare is probably going to reduce the tournament time for me at least.

So, Nightmare vs Purple (and even worse, FrozenStorm), this is going to be a hard fight, and I’m rusty.
Thankfully Deteriorate and DP nerfs are here to help me out.
Main desecision here is SL vs LO for mox. SL is good vs Jav rune, Lookout is good vs deteriorate, but with the nerfs, I would quite like them to spend the 1 gold and a card, so ignoring LO (as I doubt they would spend 2 gold, and I want them to not play imp/graveyard this turn)

Okay, Imp is still a problem, but we can at least start the pressure now.
Glaxx is coming in as a good blocker thats hard to deal with, but how hard do we want to attempt tech 2 right now? assuming some combination of DP/Fencers coming in so have to be worried about tech 2 living if built next turn. And drawing a dead Hyperion next turn is painful.
I’m drawing 3 of 7, so good odds for hyperion in second hand, but I think its going to be less useful than a Tric given the aggressiveness of nightmare.
Going to go all in on tech 2, lets do this

Wow going hard already, dc 1 draw 3. I spose maybe trying to fast tech and establish a base board presence to do that? Possible. Either way I think I go graveyard + fencer + DP, I’ll tech more T1 stuff just in case I want to go hard next turn but more likely I replay from graveyard and tech up next turn, I’ll have a super light cycle so I can reactive tech next turn and be fine. If I get the graveyard stolen, bad luck I guess

My Thoughts

hmmm so did SNB first tech hyperions or something? Worst case is probably Battle Suits + Hyperion, but I’m going to hope it was more like Stewardess + Now! or something. It’s only 3 cards, chances seem low it’s devastating. I could do like Tower + Imp and kill the Fargo, that’d lower the chance even further of a big tech2 play, but I’d rather tech up and risk the tech break or vandy kill or graveyard loss

#8

Maybe… Would prefer to think of it as adapting my T3 plan to the 3/4 chance of having a Tech 2 this turn.

My Thoughts

Mmmk I think if I can kill Tric that’d be massive. If I tech another Starlet and DP I maximize the chances of that, deteriorate + fencer + starlet or fencer can get it done. Okay, lets go for it
…
Another DP on the RS, solid, let’s see what we pull, chances are really high
…
Well win some lose some. Haunt’s an easy yes. What else though? I could StW the Nullcraft away. Lizard probably can take care of it though… I can Imp and hope to hit something important + continue the card pressure, but Max and Vir should be able to solve that problem… Shoot this is a bummer… Really wanted that Tric kill! Graveyard at least would have been nice on the whiff! Wait a minute… SNB skipped a worker and is now on 8 gold. Maybe workering and midbanding Vandy is the play? No more resist but still that leaves a Vandy kill out for maxbanding Geiger + a tech 2 unit. Really Hyperion in hand, what’s the worst that happens? Tric kills SQL, Hyperion kills Maestro, Geiger kills Vandy w/ tric or nullcraft, flicker Hyperion break t1 or t2? yeah okay actually that super sucks.

Maybe not if I go tower? Maestro in Elite + Tower means Hyp can’t kill it and live to flicker. Also makes Geiger tough to keep alive on any attacks, and deals w/ Nullcraft. Okay, I can dig it. WAIT I can patrol the fencer too! Oh that makes Vandy and tech2 much safer. Okay yes, I like this plan, tower it is, I can skip workers too and I can fetch the maestro to play my monster hand next turn

#10

One of the main problems I have against nightmare is figuring out what is actually the more dangerous thing, Vandy, Mestro and Fencer are all really strong cards. Which also leads into the problem of breaking tech 1/tech 2 also being non obvious…
Just finalising my turn now. will edit and tag when done

#11

There isn’t a great answer I think. That’s the nasty part. If you go after Vandy hard it’s still not too hard to win with finesse t1 and 2, and Vandy can still be really threatening without the finesse units.

Like peace engine I think t1 gets overlooked as a great thing to kill

Well, we will see if I made the right choice at least, took a bit longer than expected because made the first attempt forgetting about the tower you built, which ruined a series of really nice lines for me…

My Thoughts

Suddenly this became a base race. DP technician isn’t appealing if Void Star can put my base on notice. I might just be checkmated here? I either have to finish imminently or kill the void star next turn. I spose Doom Grasp would be a way to do that, but if garth dies and overpowers the base next turn I might be just locked off. I am drawing into StW though so if I patrol Garth in SQL, he can’t be one shot from lethal on base with void star without getting rid of the nullcraft, and I should be able to StW away the void star if that happens. So one DG and one GG to help end the game, makes sense to me

Wait overpower doesn’t work if you aren’t patrolling. So do I think there’s another hyperion in there? No access to Now! without Geiger, don’t think there’s another hyperion if he teched TD, maybe I just patrol nothing? No I’ll keep Maestro SQL just in case, doubling off Maestro + like a starlet or some base damage isn’t too bad

Pretty sure you have me here, but lets see how, will add in thoughts for this turn later.

good shout, have removed the worker, and redrawn the hand with the extra card. I’ve gotten rusty in my time away (first interation of the turn has me making a worker, before realising it left me dead to about 7 different cards in frozen storms deck, which I decieded was a bad idea)

Worker shmurker, I’d like to solve the puzzle, Pat!

GG WP it was a tight one but I just barely found lethal XD

it’s silly to think if you flip flop Plexus and Glaxx patrol, I don’t get to StW the Doom Glaxx out of the way, and I’d have to lose most of my board just breaking the tech 2. Idk if that’s winning position still or not, probably but much dicier!

#20

GG, I still think I die if I swap the glaxx and the neo (just takes a bit longer), as without the void star I don’t stand a chance atm, had several leathal outs if you don’t kill me this turn, so it was just get as much defence will not allowing sac the weak to easily kill void star.
Think my major error this game was turn 5, there where so many options, and it all depended on what I thought you had, and I don’t have a good valueation vs nightmare of what is easily replaceable/a threat. I should have problably just kept tech 2 down and worries less about Maestros, knowing that void star + tric was going to be a quick kill (forgot you where at 14 rather than 20, which changes so much math)
Your turn 4 tower was excellent btw, without that I crush you on turn 5 (either wipe everything, or break tech 2 and just leave vandy) with a decent board position.

Defo felt a lot better with DP costing 1 and Deteriorate costing 1 from my end (plus knowing that tric could still do a lot to vandy after mid band), and hasn’t seemed to push it too far in the other direction, would be interesting to know your thoughts on this
