Think

An opening! Strike back hard and viciously! The turning point is here!
At least, probably. I hope. There’s a decent chance I just get stone walled and hasted.

Thoughts

Damn, Argo should’ve been on technician. And my base is getting uncomfortably low on health… At least my HH finally came in handy.

Deteriorate, Shoddy Glider, Kidnapping

Discard

Crashbarrow, Graveyard, Sacrifice the Weak, Hooded Executioner, Bloodlust, Free Speech, Kidnapping, Captured Bugblatter

Think

Difficult turn, either resurrect crashbarrow or wall up. I wish I had a glider. Since I can’t destroy tech 2 (or at least I don’t see a line to it), reprisal is too dangerous, and I will wall. I think this wall will be broken, but if I am fortunate maybe I will live to see one more tech 2 turn.

Thoughts

Maxband Prynn plus either Nullc or TD into Stewie let me break through. TD leaves me (but also Bryce) with an extra card, but Nullc is good StW insurance.

Think

Ah of course, Prynn to ruin my plans. This is likely an insurmountable position. Any tech 2 unit essentially spells my end. I think it’s over.

27

Hang on, you overpaid for your Crash Bomber here. @Bryce_The_Rice We can roll back a turn if the extra float would change your turn.

I won’t edit my turn 9, but I suppose on turn 10 I will build a Heroes’ Hall.

29

I had quite a lot of time to figure this turn out.

Get paid + float - ($12)
Prynn to fading 1.
Forgotten Fighter bounces Crash Bomber to your hand, Mirror Bomber disappears - ($10)
Tricycloid - ($5)
Prynn hits Quince, to fading 2.
Remove 2 runes from Tric to finish Quince, Troq to midband.
Remove last rune from Tric to ping your base to 13.
Geiger, Troq and Argo hit your base to 3.
Remove 2 runes from Prynn to trash Tric, Prynn fades away, Tric and Hoodie return.
Remove 3 runes from Tric to ping your base to 0!

@Bryce_The_Rice This game was tough as hell, GG WP!

Ah forgotten fighter. I surely should’ve patrolled in lookout. How silly of me!

second game, second time you’re using forgotten fighter and this time for the win - awesome!
