Thoughts
Darn, even without Feral Strike maxband Cal would have been soooooo much better here… I still do understand my reasoning behing wanting the float 1 over the maxband Cal, but right now this feels… just wrong…
Board clear + teching up still is possible, but I really don’t like going down on cards here… leaving the messenger with his balance choice (as expected, but still) also really hurts. But well, there’s one thing that I learned with codex: advancing your own strategy usually is more rewarding than to adapt to the opponent’s game plan so let’s stick to the strategy and let’s not get sidetracked.
