Very strange split, with no playable unit in turn2. But not really an aggressive start from Frozen with no hero. So brother might survive and I don’t have to go in a 10 second cycle.

Difficult worker choice…

Let’s keep Vandy safe. I think Frozen teched 2 iron man. He floated 1, has midori out and did not like basilisk against neutral in his last game. But could be also Iron man with Ozelot/Basilisk.

Balance or Growth? Both is possible. Don’t see a risk, since both have not enough power if I have a good start in tech2. Will ensure sufficient anti air.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

Ok here we have the first iron man. Float 1 so next iron man next turn and tech up. Lizard and Maestro is pretty neutral for the other ones I need to wait until I see if it is growth or balance.

Don’t like so much going down on cards but I know that deck very well and I can recover fast and don’t need many cards on hand. I don’t really care of giving Frozen 1 card, maybe it is MoLaC.

Let’s hope no wither on Tiny B, I sense there’s likely another Fencer so I think I’d rather play to force two cards to break my tech2 and risk the Tiny B not getting the kill. Maybe that’s not learning well from last game, idk :slight_smile:

Basilisk, I am surprised, after the game with cstick. But without a fencer or wither it can be a problem.

Balance, let’s put some more anti air in, but not a fairy yet. Flagbearer can leave. I am really happy that Frozen played the messenger and he is in the next cycle.

I assume intimidate will stop during your upkeep. If it lasts until end of your turn, I will switch Vandy with Garth. (Decision was made before drawing, but I can redraw if you want).

I expect fairie dragon so I want lizard (even with a feather) to kill a mimic. Don’t want to spend money on tower, so le’ts do it with guide. Feather + wither will be nasty, but than Frozen will have hardly no defense and no cards. I don’t play fencer that I don’t give another mimic haste.

I hate skipping a worker, but I hate even more to be dependent on luck for the next hand. So worker skip will allow me to draw the cycle completely, if garth, skel + Vandy survive. That should be enough to decide the game.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

No you have it right. I, however, don’t really know what I’m doing :slight_smile:

One gold short from the tech 3 + moment’s peace, unfortunately, let’s hope I draw the Fairie Dragon next turn and at least do a little counter damage lol

Ah nice, TRex rush? I think it is a very good strategy. But I tried it before the tournament against Zango, and it is usually not working against Finese, even though I theched against Fairie Dragon.

Was one gold short last turn of the tech 3 + moment’s peace. Maestro is so good lol :slight_smile: The Lizards give me no real punish here and I have no way really to stop the onslaught of virtuosos coming, so I will GG WP it here! @zango new Troq not necessarily looking “top tier” yet, though I do like new Intimidate :slight_smile:

GG WP @FrozenStorm! Yes Finese has strong tech 2 units with no real weakness when you ensure card draw.
