Well, stall until tech 2 I guess? Although maybe I lose if they hit tech 2 first. So imp to pressure hand will help.

Man, one turn and I already misplayed. I really haven’t played in a while. I forgot to save gold to play imp.
Anyway we’re resisting forgotten fighter here to try and keep Garth up. Might work.

Think

Well not a bad turn. I lose my graveyard but I’m putting threat on the board that will hopefully scare away tech 2. However, with that gold float they can afford to tech 2 and lay down defence, so I may have to deal with it anyway. Still, I’m setting myself up for my own tech 2 with a preteched crashbarrow so I should be able to wreak havoc straight away.

Ah, I did forget about sparkshot. I’m inviting it again, but this time it’s ok. My tech 2 should live here, so hopefully I can start causing shenanigans. Crashbarrow+imp next turn would be particularly strong, although Hyperion certainly offsets imp quite nicely.

GG WP @Bryce_The_Rice ! I think a bit of a rusty first turn from you and then purple ran away with it…

If I’m not mistaken it looks like you forgot to discard, which might prevent your T5 kill.
@FrozenStorm or @Dreamfire, our honored judges, how is it required to proceed, especially after @Bryce_The_Rice did not specify which card to discard?

14

Oh shoot, i misread his turn, seeing the $2 as #2, i should probably randomise that and redo the turn

(I then also forgot to action the discard you are correct, sorry about that, i had only gotten as far as mentally checking that #2 wasnt a card i needed to use :sweat_smile:)

Will wait for judge to ejudicate

I believe that randoming the number on my end can give unintentional information about technician draws and the like.
I trust my opponents to fairly random

16

Yeah that’s fair, i just misread your post! I think it is strictly disadvantageous here for me to randomise the discard and re-do my turn from the start, so i might just go ahead and do that?

17

I agree. Since @Bryce_The_Rice didn’t provide a card number to discard, it’s @dwarddd’s responsibility to randomize one.

18

Okay, i did random 1-5 and got 4, which makes me discard a hyperion, but i can just play the one temporal distortion puts into my hand.

I would re-randomise the hyperion draws but i can win with any 2 of the cards in my deck.

Sorry for missing that the first time round and misreading bomber’s post… that said the spreadsheet i use even randomises the card order when you reshuffle and draw so i guess misreading the post kind of was random!

@zango i think this is cleared up, sorry for the mess.
@Bryce_The_Rice GG!
