Thoughts between killing Oni and Max band Arg. Killing Oni leaves me with 1 card down, but a sizeable threat next turn, and can recover cards with max arg and hero’s hall. Max arg also leaves me with a nice threat, but Oni can trade into my water ele and giving me no levels (making oni a 2 gold 3/3, for no cards).
His tech 2 threats are very scary (Present can come out of no where, and I want to go balance to counter, growth tech lab, Peace means I go growth with Nature Reclaims to kill garrisions, and Blood means growth while holding on for dear life.

Brave Knight seems better vs his lineup than Argonaut, as I anticipate Tiny Basilisk and he has few options for removing it without combat damage. Awesome fucking t3 hand.

Choosing to play Nimble Fencer over Rampant growth to get that 2/1 on the board, and to make him play around Rampant growth for the next few turns. Tiny Basilisk should do wonders against tech 2 Present and keeping his heros dead.

pretty dogshit draw for T3 hand. I dont really like the idea throwing out a hero that’s just going to get killed or going down on cards for not much benefit, so I think I’ll just go t2. even if he breaks it, which he most certainly will, I’ll have a decent next turn.

Peace tech 2 can get out of hand quickly, so rather then rush my own, I thought that keeping his on lockdown is a far better option. Even if he trades the nullcraft for my fencer, should be able to stampede breaking his tech 2 again while setting up another attacker for the next Stampede. Without tech 2, his only haste is nullcraft, and that’s already on the board.

Stampede with only one attacker doesn’t set up much, as even with stampedes for the next 3 turns or so, it’s too close to be able to tell if I will do enough base damage. If I get MoLaC online, peace can do nothing. Tech 3 will be problematic, but if he builds tech 3 stampede should be able to do massive damage to him with my increase attacker numbers.
should have patrolled in scav. would love to kidnap that ele for the free gold but it can’t trade with the basilisk.
deciding between Drakk + kidnap basilisk and kill ele and just Nullcraft ele, sacrifice Oni to Basilisk and play Fargo and Brave Knight. Seems like there’s more value in having Knight and Fargo out than Oni and Drakk, as next turn all I’m going to do is drop a pile of units onto the board.
