My Thoughts

Is going second actually good for me? Idk but Mox is a good bet here against aggro Red, nothing besides Kidnapping to really deal with it. IIRC I won last time w/ Juggermox, maybe we’ll do that again

3

I’ve never before been afraid of an early mox… But after our last game I probably have to reconsider this evaluation - or do I?

don’t think juggermox is fast enough as P2, but I was underestimating it last time as well…

Juggermox is fierce you should fear him XD

Stewardess should help slow the roll and juggermox is still strong, I think that’s where we go

even though Cal didn’t kill anything I want to midband now in order to make stewie and boot camp on my units even less attractive

Oversight on my part to forget about Cala midband, just so stupid good :frowning:

Yeah no dogs allowed here XD big beefy Juggermox still allowed though, he’s going to basic training

My Thoughts

I think we gamble for the 1/3 Stewardess, if I get it I’m in great shape, if I don’t… it’s either Nullcraft kills dog dies to huntress, or Plexus and accept Oni’s death. The Mox and Zane hitting back should mean I can keep things relatively stable. Having Mox for several turns with the extra +1/1 is going to be very valuable I think. Teching 2x OC so I can cheaply keep the board flush and tech up while I’m at it
…
Got Stewardess. But I forgot it has to pay Cala tax. So I skip worker to peel up dog? Or I elect not to. Tough decision… I think It’s worth trading even Fargo for Huntress, I can reset the clock on Fargo replaying him and non zero chance BtF is a possibility? Taking huntress off means Oni is much safer backline from that.

even though I was contemplaining Stewie in my thoughts section, I was absolutely convinced that you would either go for double cadet or double BC… looking forward to see what you are going to do

Well, with the possibility to kill Oni so cheaply juggermox really isn’t as scary as it used to be…
