I’m not sure what to expect as Tech II just yet, but hug0 doesn’t have any cheap combat heroes here – Troq and Midori are expensive to level, Orpal doesn’t have a high attack – so I don’t expect too much early aggression.

I want to clear his board so that I maintain my stronger aggro, only issue is he can easily counter kill Troq. I think I’m right to keep him under pressure so let’s skip Tech I this turn and put Brother in SQL

Hmm. A bit of an awkward defence I’m putting up here, but I’m waiting for a good opening to counter-attack.
I expect either Balance II or Disease II, so Taxman or Disease I should be good in case of air units. If I go for Disease II, it’s probably more for Gorgon + Cursed Crow.
It’s interesting that hug0 didn’t build a Tech I, I suppose he’s going for Troq spells? Probably Intimidate, unless he’s going for an early Tech break with Wrecking Ball. I’ll take Sickness, to make sure I can still reduce his board with Intimidate reducing my counter-damage, and Gunpoint Taxman for some anti-air, in case of Balance II.

Tech I break seems good to me here. Sharks probably the most obvious counter play but will he have played into that?
I guessed an Intimidate was probably coming, but I forgot about the balance changes…

OK… I’ll tech in a Carrion Curse to try to slow down the spell slinging, and make hug0 worry about hand size more. I’d like to bring out Zane to kill the Tenderfoot here, but if hug0’s taken double Intimidate then it can kill him afterwards if I don’t heal, and the last thing I want is Troq getting overpower at maxband. I can’t do that and play Bloodrage Ogre to block. I’ll just go for a Tower, to try to bleed Troq a little bit.
