solid split. as his deck has it’s high point in tech 2 a big pressure attack t3/t4 might be what is required here

man that + the threat of mad man is a pretty scary P1T1. I could do older brother + hero or maybe mesenger + skele + garth. Either one can secure a hero kill with Vandy lvl + madman, which seems pretty bad, so I should probably skip the hero. Making him take a -1/-1 on vandy with orpal doesnt seem worth the instant threat of metamorphosis. So the question is to go down on cards T1 or just do a weak ass patrol and let him bang on my base already. I can’t really drop a creature and protect a Tower this early either.

I hate to go down in cards and put another card in my discard but I think this is the only way to reasonably expect Garth to expect next turn.

Well didn’t bank on him drawing two hasties but that was always a possibility. At least I got lucky drawing around the Lich’s bargain, but I guess it kind of ties me up on heroes, though feeding vandy seems like a bad deal…. Wait I’m stupid. I was looking at efficiently trading with his units while thinking ""how the hell do I deal with vandy before she maxbands and destroys me with metamorphosis, when I realized I can kill her. I have to go down in cards pretty hard and he can probably kill River next turn but at least this takes some pressure off his biggest threat. Next turn is gonna be a bit of a dud but at least I won’t be getting metamorphosised in two turns.

Well, seems like I was too greedy here…
But you going down on cards hard is also something I like, even though I would have liked my Vandy to survive better :wink:

that’s a bummer to lose Vandy here, I was too greedy on cards+float to not play a patroller. But him going down on cards while I have an 80% to have the peace enginge running next turn still seems like a very good spot to be in. He probably has two tech 0 cards plus one tech1 unit/spell, so not having a patrol this round should not hurt. And maybe he underestimates the explosiveness of my deck with me not having any board presence.

#10

Trust me I don’t like going down on cards at all, but I don’t know what I could have done vs metamorphosis, surviving the first 3 turns against the start you had feels like an accomplishment in and of itself.

Well I’m hoping he’s out of haste threats in his hand and my horror will live here. Not going t2 sucks and a seamless transition into peace plan sucks, but hopefully this Lich’s bargain can get me ahead on the board enough to contest a garrison.

#11

Well for my deck meta is more a nice to have and yes the deck feels incredibly powerful. I really don’t understand why nobody has gone the fire starter+peace engine with bully Hero route before…

PS: I miscounted my gold and had to revert a Bogre that I wanted to play but didn’t have the gold for in the end. Hope I was able to correct everything properly

No worries, especially as we are way up ahead the others and our game is coming to a close, there is absolutely no reason to hurry.

bummer to draw garrison instead of any hasters, but still I got the big turn!
