This deck is build to get Terras Q into play with Discord or DeGrey, but that’s not a great idea against Drakk. I’m trying out Dancers!

Hrmmm. Was going to just build HH and tech in DP+Harmony… but killing that and putting out units and losing nothing seems good, too.

yeah, expected something like that. cant do much when IRB is your only opening unit. oh well. i will have to go down on cards here to keep pace. hopefully tech 1 survives. if not, at least i get a card and gold. cant do more than that.

Woops! I realized I left a HH in play last turn even though I hadn’t built it! I was thinking about it, then undid it, but left the HP there. Well, I’m building it this turn!

Oh, and you should put HP into your Tech I, though 2 will be enough for now.

needed that. exactly why i built this codex, to compensate against Meta River/Vandy T1-4 pressure. Scribes are a good wall, immune to discord, det, etc, and draw me a card to counter shadowblade.

teching crashbarrows and will build tech 2 a turn late. just need to weather the storm at this point. scrfibes next turn will be helpful .

Unlucky draw, and I had to skip worker for maximum impact/draw. But, if River survives this turn, I’ll get 3 Angry Dancers out easily, and maybe a chance to Two-Step two of them. It depends on his Bloodlust.

ah, im done man. GG. cant stop your cycle.

Whew. I didn’t think I’d get away with being so oppressive.

…but I just glanced at your hand, and even with me cycling out your scribe #2 for something else, that’s really rough.

Even if you played max Midori, my next turn would have looked like this:

And the next hand had a Two Step and a Soul Stone to ensure 11 damage to base from Angry Dancers.

Ultimately, I got a great split, and I got lucky drawing Shadow Blade when I did (though it didn’t seem lucky at the time, since I was hoping for Harmony earlier).

I was really afraid you’d have a Bloodlust in hand; Drakk, a Bloodlust, and a unit would be enough to take out River and Vandy, and probably max Drakk, making both of my Harmonies and my Dark Pact useless, and killing my Two Step. I’d be left with two 1/1s, and the ability to play Brick Thief and Bloom with Rook.

Do you want to try another, you going first?

Nah, im good. you’re like the third guy that’s wanted to play Meta against me. i need a break from trying to adjust everything to vandy/river meta.

Sorry about that!

The deck is built for Terras Q, not Vandy (with Discord/DeGrey to unleash him), but I didn’t think I’d do well with that against Kidnapping. d:

I’m happy to switch decks to something friendlier; I quite enjoy [Truth]/Anarchy/Present, and I have almost no experience playing Mono Green, so I could try that out, too.

Im good man. im going to finish up this other game and take a break for a while. thanks though.
