Thoughts
I always play Troq here and put him in SQL. Suits + Nullcraft lets Plexus trade, but there’s no gold to play a hero for free levels unless he skips worker & tech 1, so that’s a fine trade. The main question is whether to play Tenderfoot or Turtle. Tenderfoot is cheaper, but Turtle is helpful (no pun intended) against Nullcraft especially. I think I prefer Tenderfoot, with the tiebreaker being that I don’t want to worker any of the other cards (Flagbearer is useful against Prynn maxband).
Stewardess is so broken. There’s no good way to attack that let Troq survive an enemy Stewardess next turn, so I’ll just make it more costly to attack into while planning on reaching tech 2 first.
Argonaut?! I should have just attacked last turn! My goose is truly cooked against Stewardess this turn, or even Forgotten Fighter. I want to tech Immortals this turn, but I think I need to go for Argonauts, since if he breaks my Tech 2 this turn I have no recourse otherwise.

1 damage short of breaking tech 2, and no point in breaking tech 1. Especially since cstick cant afford to TD anything big without the scav gold. An Immortal would be big, which is a good reason to tech Final Smash!

I can get a double tech break with the cards in my hand, but a Now! or Intimidate would also let me worker, so let’s try to dig for them.
…
Redrew TD, but maxbanding Geiger is actually safer.
