With entangling vines and tiny basilisk, charnel_mouse has easy tools to deal with big units. I’m expecting to start with tiny basilisk and something flying.

We’re probably seeing Balance II from Offkilter here, so I want to go for Balance II myself. All of his specs go for large, beefy units, so we’re looking at a slugfest, one way or the other.
There’s no way I can go wrong with Basilisks here. Entangling Vines could also be rather good, if I can get a target that isn’t Potent Basilisk. I’m thankful that I’m not facing Sacrifice the Weak, but The Boot can take out Tiny Basilisks with only a little gold disadvantage, even if they’re feathered.
With Older Brother out and the threat of Spark + Tech I, Spore Shambler or a hero are the only patrollers that make good sense here. I’ll take the opportunity to get the Prospector out, and give Offkilter Rook to chew on.

Tempted to go for Midori here but I think Troq has more options to pressure and deal with basilisks. I’m expecting basilisks and bird’s nest… I don’t see much else that’s viable here. Maybe I’ll be surprised by some crazy wall, but I have basilisks myself. If it’s a basilisk duel matchup, I have wither and intimidate to neutralize theirs. Birds are always annoying, but I guess gemscout owl can help? Would my next tech be intimidate + second owl in that case? Wild.

Worker + Tech I leaves me 4 gold, 5 with Prospector. Alternatively, Rampant Growth on Prospector + midband Rook lets me kill Troq, but I have to skip worker and Tech I. I’d rather get to Tech II as quickly as I can. Walling up with Ironbark Treant.
Kidnapping should be really good here, but if I draw it next turn it’s really expensive to use. I’ll just go with Crash Bombers for now, so I can cheaply block Basilisks while teching up. Alternatively, I tech in Chameleons, and try for some Verdant Tree cheese. No, let’s go with Crash Bombers.

I think I’d better take that opportunity to kill Rook. Buffed midband on Troq helps here. Probably my patrol will be eliminated. With early Rook pressure out of the way, I’m probably most concerned about Blood Tech 2, Final Smash does nothing against Crashbarrows. A Gargoyle should help keep the tech 2 bashed down.

Midband Drakk (5), Panda kills Tenderfoot, Treant trades with Troq, hasted Bomber (6) trades with Basilisk, Prospector (5), worker (6), Wisp trades with Older Brother, then either float one or play the other Bomber (7). Drakk, Panda, Prospector, maybe Bomber on the board. Never mind Tech II, it’s War Drums time.

Hoping for a War Drums draw. Taking Kidnapping in case I need it to close out. Leaving no haste on the board, let’s see if Offkilter’s got an answer to Drakk before I bring out the Drums. Teching in Thunderclap next if things go well.

If I were smarter I would have done a suicide vandy last turn rather than brick thief, and be up on cards. Feels bad to base race vs Blood but I could get lucky still.

I think I fell into your trap by killing Rook!

Purely by accident, I can assure you 
I just saw the opening for walking around the Basilisk, and thought I’d try Green starter into War Drums again. They seem to work fairly well together.

The funny thing is my alternate plan to killing Rook would have been to play Fruit Ninja. Much as it would cause @Bryce_The_Rice emotional damage to hear it, I think I’d have been in a better position!
A greedy player 2 opener into Drakk with Crash Bombers is very strong!

If @Bryce_The_Rice went Rook in our game I would have been forced to keep Fruit Ninja in my deck and potentially play it in turn 3 to prevent Thunderclap from wrecking my day.
