So this is the last match in the open from the current round. It would be nice if you can wrap it up rather sooner than later @charnel_mouse and @Bryce_The_Rice . I would prefer to not start the next round before this one is officially decided as we otherwise might run into issues with a bye.

Starting hand: 5
Kidnapping
Bone Collector
Land Octopus
Pestering Haunt
Graveyard
Thoughts
Kidnapping is mandatory here to stop Nimble Fencer allowing hasted damage. Graveyard is tempting to cycle Thieving Imp, but I think I just need to patrol in front of Tech II if I want any chance at this point.

T4: Crashbarrow, Kidnapping
T5: Bloodlust, Land Octopus

Think
Wow, that was a really good turn for me. And a hand peek at that.
I got the double tech break I suspected was coming, but only barely. Still, I am so in control here, I will be surprised if they don’t immediately forfeit. Like, with that hand, what can they even do? Execute messenger and fencer? Play both and graveyard and garth? Zane kill my lizard? Nothing they do prevents me from simply killing them next turn.
Wait scratch that, I blew up the tech 1. They literally can’t even play the executioners. Yeah… I think they’re dead for sure.
Yes, I seem a little disadvantaged here. That’ll do me, well played! @zango

Thieving imp remains a giant thorn in my side, but even it can only delay the inevitable
