My Thoughts

I want to keep the graveyard and keep quince out a bit to beat him up. So I’ll go DP + Starlet, stack up a big tech2 swing, and do Summon skele for right now. Next turn Imp and maybe HH, let’s see what skeleton bonuses I get

My Thoughts

Well deteriorate or dp into det would’ve been a nice draw here to get a quince kill… Suppose I could still do it with StW? Little Expensive but maybe worth? Idk it sorta seems like Quince dying is the goal for Zhav. That’s a pretty weak defense. I spose I’ll go Imp + Starlet + HH, try to setup meta / Tech2 threat for turn 6/5 if I can get a kill next turn. For now let’s tech the fencers.

My Thoughts

So probably Crashbarrow, or Barrow x2. Garth and Skele are only 1 atk so can’t actually trade and rez it so that’s a bonus, but probably I’m losing Vandy or Tech2 here. So I’ll split my techs, one maestro another DP. Gonna be nasty to weather but hopefully I can generate enough counter-pressure and outlast it.

This is a turn that hinges on Garth midband having 4 hp vs 3. with 4, id be more accepting of skipping the worker and getting a bigger defense. As it stands, I see him breaking through and getting max Vandy and grounded guide and wrecking me.

My Thoughts

Teching guide and Starlet, if I get a Starlet or Fencer I break the tech building with Deteriorate and Vandy maxband, if I don’t I suppose I set up as best i can with graveyard.
…
Bit of a bum draw there, haunt is nice enough but I’m gonna be potentially suffering a barrow beating… Though I guess I’ve seen three of the four techs he could have made to this point? So worst case one barrow plus a mirror. So minimizing the damage that could do… I suppose I kill Garth, put river behind it and give her the levels, that makes it pretty tough to get to Vandy and graveyard. And that’s if there’s a barrow here. Could just be another lust or kidnapping or something. Wishful thinking perhaps :relieved:

GG WP! I was sure you’d have a Barrow to smash into my face, I’m curious what the idea was teching just the other BC and Bomber on turn 3?

I was confident you were going to have the agression to just smash my tech 2 and me not be able to play. You were just not as aggressive as I expected.
