I know haha. I insult MTG players a lot including my friend lol. I totally agree on a digital version. I think expansion will be also great like adding two more colors maybe and take care of some balancing issues at the same time.

My Thoughts
Imp was not effective, MM + BA was the nightmare scenario. I spose I should have mathed out that Garth would have been safe backline, low chance to mid Rook AND hastily eliminate Imp. I really wanted Vandy alive thoughā¦ Well okay, I think with the low card and worker count I kill BA, keeps Zane away, play to make big moves next hand.

Heh, I had no idea you could do that with FD. I always thought that the new unit is 3/1 flying and their text is goneā¦ Guess I misread that. Should have killed the Tiny B when I could have! I think this is game for me, I donāt see how I can come back. GGWP!
My weak turn 1 with your perfect turn 1 just made it really hard for me have any board control without burning my hand and eco, do you think thereās anything I could have done differently?
You sure youāre done? What are you holding?
I think being a little more patient on your turn 3 would have been warranted. I got really good value out of that exchange, with the scav + techn bonuses.
Peeking at that hand, GPT + Rook + Mad Man in a defensive posture probably wasnāt going to get blown away by me, and your goal with that deck early is just to trade even and survive to tech 2. You were well on track to do that. Tower + GPT also would have been a totally reasonable play (again, youāre just trying to trade well and get teched up).
Itās pretty hard for my deck to get so much Vandy momentum on the board that I can indefinitely keep you off Ancients, Zane Sharks are very effective at counter-punching midgame, and Rook is a beast as a midgame defender.

I mean give yourself a little credit; how would you have killed it? Midbanding Rook and trading him away? There wasnāt a good way to kill him; I made sure of that

Thanks for the tips 
I could have brought Zane in instead of Arg and killed him, but that would leave me with almost no defenses so I didnāt want to go that route at the time.
Going all in on turn 3 was probably a mistake like you said, but I wanted to try it out and see how it goes. I should have teched in SA sooner if I wanted to go so aggressive though.
My last hand is:
Gunpoint Taxman
Blooming Ancient
Bloodrage Ogre
Thereās no way Iām coming back from that now. I could maybe hold for another 3-4 turns, but itās pretty much over.
Feel free to start the next game
Except you couldnāt as you had sacrificed Zane the turn before; he was unavailable
Youāre right, forgot about that.
Hmm, well BA + GPT + max Arg would give enough runes to have Mad Man trade with Potent and Rook could kill imp, leaving me to kill a couple things with my fliers (including the BA) but Iād have to trade them away to the Anit-Airā¦ But youāre right that I probably grind out a win from there. So I suppose indeed worth conceding, GG WP
I did get a pretty dream draw that game though, tough to say if I am able to press hard enough without it. Letās see how a new game goes, GL HF!

Rook + Bombaster, almost as bad as it could be (Brogre would have been worse), I think the play is to Imp and hope no Mad Man, tech Vandy stuff, lay Haunt and attack with Vandy to avoid Rook getting a free shot on Imp sans Mad Man. Possible that turns out bad if thereās like Scorch or Rambaster + mad man, but gotta try something
That he is ^^

My Thoughts
Shadow Blade probably wasnāt the right call against Redā¦ AS is just giving up Rook and recovering econ. Pretty smart move, I should have gone for like Soul Stone or something.
Okay letās get rid of Rook and max Vandy out, that way I stay way up on cards, leave Imp against nothing, and should be able to DP for the tech1 weenies + heroās hall next turn. Overall solid
Oh? now Iām intriguedā¦ I guess Iāll find out at the end ^^

My Thoughts
Teching the Meta andā¦ an LB? That seems reasonable, gives me an out in case I canāt keep Vandy alive. Nether Drain would also be okay for Zane I spose but naw.
ā¦
Hmmm no Hoodieā¦ Shadow Blade though. Trouble (again) w/ Shadow blade is itās 1g too expensive. So I spose Iāll just kill SQL (det it to save 1hp? yeah, probably worth), tiny B, and tech up. next turn weāll see what we draw, if I get to Meta Garth I probably do that, if I canāt I probably HH and Hoodie and somethin. Heās got a thin reshuffle, just 2 teched cards, so thatās a plus for me
Hmmā¦ either an offensive or defensive option here. Iāll go with the offensive this time! If you have a Mimic then I guess itās kindda bad for me, but I donāt want to keep Vandy alive.
