My Thoughts
I do think Mox is lowkey super strong in this matchup; Boot Camp suits well also. Killing Cala, however, is a really tough bet for my squad. How am I going to deal with it? Sharks is too expensive, I think… same for Origin Story. So idk exactly, but we’ll try and figure it out. Maybe maxband Oni can do it? we’ll see…
sometimes I’m able to learn from my mistakes and I’m going to try to keep my two burn spells a bit longer
I’m 100% expecting OS this game. But if he does tech it directly in T2 he’ll just be steamrolled by mirror CB as his deck then is way to slow to keep up. if he fast cycles via boot camp and is able to pull it in t4 that’s going to be interesting. I’m still 50-50 on whether I should therefore go for double CB tech in T3 or wether I should either way go for strike. A fake strike setup such that he invests too much into getting rid of Cal also sounds quite amusing and then the coast will be clear for mirror CBs, but then again: stike is the superior strategy for this codex

I guess I’ll try the double OC actually, lets me potentially try some Zane shenanigans or insta tech up and see how that goes. Cala is just super strong on the board but taking the dog out is a big plus here
…
Wow, I whiffed… This could be really bad

puh, difficult. Do I go for strike or for fake strike? Do I want to reduce his board state or do I want to keep his hand size small? If he has BS in hand, he can reduce my board quite a bit, which will make it almost impossible to defend maxband Cal with only huntress as SL next turn. On the other hand this would mean he has to go down to three cards, which also is quite a thing.
About tech choice: I think I’ll go for randomness making the decision for me.
Post draw: phew, that’s quite a thing to have both cards in my T5 hand. This way I can build the maximal threat without exposing myself such that I completely rely on one hero surviving - awesome!!!

My Thoughts
Since I whiffed, I don’t have a great way to tempo tech1 play… I could float a bunch but Zango already talked about how Pillage is something he wants to keep around and I think that likely leads to danger. So, I build the Tech2, hope Zango plays for Feral Strike, and tech an Origin Story to stall that? Something I haven’t tried at least
did you whiff? In that case it feels horrible. I think you already face an uphill battle with you being generous and giving me the benefit of P1 in this decider. Obviously you now have 2 out of 5 cards of the new cycle, so it might not matter that much. But if the game is decided by you whiffing, I would prefer to roll back and that you reshuffle that T3 hand and take a new P2T3!

woha, did he whiff? Did he tech something which he didn’t like anymore? Either way I’m feeling very happy right now with both of my main strategies being available next turn. Against OS this feeling will prevail. If he went for sharks instead, this is going to be rough terrain!
I think all I need to do here is keep his board light and remove the FS threat. Hopefully that’ll be enough. Since I’m drawing into Garrison I think I feel fine going down to 3 cards and workering. The extra gold I think will help a lot over the next few turns and cards are about to be a fairly non-issue.
