Red is good into hounds but with Cala already giving resist 1, I think they should be ok. this trade seems pretty good for me even with skipping tech I

If rathy has the right strat and his draws add up, I will lose no matter what I do. t2 hero kill is not so good as t3 hero kill so I will use the gap for tech rush.
post draw: This was worst case, not even a unit to play.

I’m not excited about killing Jaina, but I thinks its better to minimize their threat so I can comfortably get to tech II where I should have the advantage. My math says crashbarrow + quince > crashbarrow. Lets see if it plays out that way.

that draw killed me… both gliders no dog. killing jaina was a small mistake, for which I hoped to bring cala in glider killing range. But not enough to bring me back in the game. he does not want jaina because of the expected dog.

I think this lets me double crashbarrow even if I get double crashbarrowed. I’d rather Cala die when I can ensure she doesn’t give levels although the resist 1 would have been nice now that I have hound out.

Good cala is gone and no need for fishing for glider! cala kill was very important. Rathy does not show full commitment in blood as the one controlling the board and plays with the tree the second defensive unit. That brings me back in the game. still behind if he has a good hand now, but maybe enough to create a buffer with tech 3 on my side. I expect at least 1 cb and maybe glider. my patrol will hold everything besides 2 cb. The patrol will take the cbs out of his next cycle. not afraid of 2 cb because I will have the tech break as well or he has to Do a worker skip. So not really sure what the worst case is …

ok now a big mistake from my side. should have stayed with the original plan, oger sl. with trying to get cb in the next cycle i forgot about the obvious. This mistake has cost me the game. i have now too many gaps in my defense but cannot put everything in defense otherwise i will lose too.

I think getting vandy off the board removes all of their outs but I unfortunately won’t be able to play commanders next turn.

I forgot about bloodburn. I believe its up to me. The triggers for dying from ephemeral and being trashed due to quince’s abilities happen at the same time so I would just chose that the tokens are trashed before they would die so you don’t get the bloodburn tokens. @FrozenStorm@charnel_mouse is that right?
If the real unit dies first, removal of the Mirror goes on the queue
Mirror death resolves, Mirror dies, Bloodburn rune gain goes on the queue
Mirror removal resolves and fizzles, because the Mirror is no longer in play
Bloodburn gains the rune from the Mirror dying
I’m not sure about it, though.
EDIT: I misread, and didn’t realise this was using Quince’s midband ability. In that case, midband trash also goes on in step 1, so rathyAro is correct.

there’s a chance I whiff next turn and they get a turn to play the game, but even then they have a lot to deal with.

A double tech break looks pretty likely here, but I think a boosted murkwood allies can keep me around long enough to rebuild. There’s a line I could have taken that kills vandy, but meta isn’t much of a threat next turn and it means I don’t get to go to tech III and that seems like an even worse spot than this one.

Yes very exciting game. You had with Cala midband and hounds the best idea I have seen in the last tournaments but you did not utilize it fully. You would have definetly deserved this win. It was very close and small things decided the game.
