rude imp! also having to worker a T1 unit sucks, I have plenty of T0 shit in my deck still.

I don’t like going down to zero cards again, but this way I avoid another potential brutal shadowblade play and break his T2 to avoid some epic finesse shinanegans like he got to play last round of the tournament. Hopefully it was worth it for the T2 break as opposed to just getting out the Bone Collector, who has a lot more value after that first slap.

Pretty much have to take a turn off now with that draw, but I need to T2 anyways and hopefully my board state can keep me afloat.

Yes, and if she attacked SL, she is not going to be able to patrol.

That’s my bad I decided not to attack, so you should have one more skeleton Pena.

Ok, I was confused, will fix

That’s a lot of skeletons… 0_0

Woulda been really nice to get discord here but I spose at least Garth is maxbanded and I still have the tech advantage. Graveyard + Garth + Tower is a decent alternative, should take some heat off the tech buildings

I could sell it all to break his tower, but that doesn’t quite seem worth it. Better to get my hand back to a happy place and hold off.

Aaaight this works out great, discord saves the day, kill everything, own the board. Hopefully turns into GG.

What a discord!

20

Gotta tech it against all those skeletons :wink:

21

Your summary says discard 1 reshuffle draw 2, shouldn’t it be draw 3?

22

Yes, holding 3 cards in hand, ty for catching that :slight_smile:

23

@Penatronic did I do sufficient damage with it to call it? Or naw?

24

No I think I have a chance just debating on one final patrol, I’ll post this morning.

Maybe thinking I have a chance is dumb nightmare was not a thing when my boomer ass was last playing and I saw what you did in your first game

Once you have the maestro Fencer graveyard setup it’s pretty hard to compete but I welcome the optimism

26

Which is kind of a silly low bar if we’re being honest

That was quite a defense and I’m about to give ya a lot of cards, so maybe it isn’t over.

And yeah, not too crazy difficult to get the Maestro Fencer graveyard setup. Then again neither are the Ancient/Shark/Birds or MoLaC/Zane/Shark or Peace Engine setups :wink: Even still, maybe Maestro should cost 4 or make Virtuosos cost 50% less or something. Free is always a problematic cost in this game :wink:

My Thoughts

Double Gorgon + Brick Thief is a pretty heavy patrol, but at least I can score some free levels off River. Well, I can score free levels if I deteriorate SQL. And maybe I try to use 1g to draw a Starlet or Dark Pact I spose.
…
Sac the Weak, eh, not what we wanted. Oh well, better chance for big chonga starlets next turn

29

I did not think through the patrol well enough did I, should have had the brick thief in SQL so the skele couldn’t be so efficient.

Thoughts

well I think fucked up that patrol, had I had the brick Thief in SQL or just thrown the turtle down I may have been able to keep my T2 and get the Plague Lab + Spreading Plague combo. It sucks leaving that maestro on the board, but at least the graveyard is down fencers are in the discard and I’m actually ahead on cards after being down to nothing. Don’t love this new hand but I can probably draw another with Garth next turn so hopefully I can hit a Plague Lab or Gorgon.
