Think

Well I have the advantage over red starter by going first. I think the gameplan remains pretty similar to usual, stall to tech 2 and then win.

That’s a very poetic way of describing my deck! But I promise that I’m not aiming for bears :wink:

Thoughts

It was very tempting to go for drakk+pillage+bogre, but unfortunately I think this start is strictly better and with already a loss I don’t want to risk anything.

Think

I can’t be bothered going back through all of zango’s previous games to find out what they prefer, but at least last game this tournament they tried to do illusions. That sounds about right from what I recall of them talking about the deck, so I’ll pick up a couple of nows in my next tech. For now, pretty standard tech 1 stuff.

Thoughts

I have quite some experience with this deck against Moby, but don’t recall struggling as much as I do now as P2… Now when I’m calculating things through I don’t get to the point where I can see that my strategy is actually working… I’m confused!
But also life is pretty busy right now, so I don’t have the time to properly calculate everything through and I’ll just try something out. It’s time for Blood (even though that’s horrible against Immortals, but well…)
At least this time mox is not going to stick around for too long
