This should be an interesting match, haven’t played Mirror Barrows in awhile! May need to go scout Bomber’s other games, I only saw a Bugblatter bleed out finale last round
Oh wow, a deck that isn’t playing present or finesse.

Think
Hmm, this is going to be pretty rough for me early. Really strong aggression from troq+neutral is very tough for my deck with black and no combat heroes. Just gotta try and delay for a bit to get to tech 2 safely. I will probably have to give up some levels but that’s a necessary evil.

Weird choice to play nothing here. But I didn’t really have the means to capitalise, and I suppose they knew that. I can’t tell what their plan is, but it probably involves ancient. It always does.
Got a good draw lineup

My Thoughts
MoLaC online, Graveyard nearly full, I think I about have this in the bag.
EDIT I posted my turn before re-reading Pirate Gang Commander’s text, I didn’t remember it being great but figured I should take it seriously as a threat JIC. WOW, breaking tech2 does nothing here… I suppose I break tech 3? Or the graveyard and reduce chances of extra crashbarrow? I think just break the tech3, I have cheat mode on now for my unit’s HP moving forward so the crashbarrow is tough but not insurmountable. Graveyard will go away on it’s own. I should also be more afraid of the sure Barrow than the unsure Kidnapping, get a card for that BA
Bigger threat than I remembered, especially coupled w/ the graveyard. I was gonna break the tech2 last turn but literally no point to that if you had PGC. Based on your cards played I’m guessing you didn’t have it…
So with this new MoLaC, it will wear off at my next upkeep, yeah? So wisp will die?

My Thoughts
That really hurt… I may not be able to keep up enough attack, even with new MoLaC 
gonna lose wisp next turn at upkeep
I’m going to ask a question here, and I want to be clear that I understand the intent and I am not asking for a rules change this game. This is just a question of phrasing/rules terminology.
Probably debate about this in the balance change thread actually. I dunno, it just crossed my mind.
The current might of leaf and claw has an activated ability that grants units and heroes +3/+3 until next upkeep. Do activated abilities affect things that come into play after they are activated? I’m trying to think of other examples from codex but I’m coming up short.
Anyway I know the intent of the card is that it does so of course we will play like that. I just had the thought that we might need to change the phrasing or something, or maybe I’m just very wrong.
Turn coming soon.

I think the comp is like feral strike and I believe that affects units or heroes you play after, right?
I guess it is interesting that the buffed units can die inbetween turns. Not sure if it’s enough though. Still feels unwinnable.
Also I think your base should be… on 16. I did 4 damage to it on my turn, and then 2 more on your turn, and it was at 19 before that. Then you healed it for 3.

Well… it’s not as bad as I thought. It’s still really bad though. Their lack of haste might be to my advantage though… they still only get a max attacks of board+1. Let’s hope they don’t have the +1 and I can start wreaking havoc…

Feral strike? You mean ferocity?
Right you are TY for catching that, and TY for also (I think) understanding the intent of MoLaC to buff units and heroes I control, so Tendy doesn’t just keep those stats when you kidnap it. I was operating on this assumption at least
I actually really like this version of MoLaC and it feels a lot more beatable. +3/+3 is a big buff but that it falls off and isn’t +5/+5 makes it a lot harder to build a big board, plus not getting immediate activation on it. You have to earn it much more now and it isn’t a “just lose” card like even some tech3s are, you’re still battling. I think this one is far from decided, I have this very fat deck to work through with some questionable tech choices!

Yeah this is tough, I’m way behind on econ and don’t have access to haste like Bryce does… I also didn’t tech wisely, Blooming Elm or Stampede would have been WAY more helpful than those Pandas right now…
Well let’s hope I can keep up enough offense to stall until I can draw a finisher… At least I’ll have Midori as a flyer now, and Timely Messenger cycles in next turn. Maybe build surplus next turn? I need more things using MoLaC…

Now it’s just hoping and praying… even with Bloom I’m one shy of breaking straight face, so best I think I can do is kill a bugblatter early to maximize my own health, Dinosize x2 and hope Stampede or Dinosize gets drawn for me to finish the game before I die
…
Well fuck this is troubling
