I think I’m starting to appreciate why making the expansions Blue vs. Purple and Black vs. White would benefit White, as well as Blue.

Birds and sparing is hard to deal with,

bansa · May 31, 2021, 3:54pm

Which bird are you killing?

Shadow_Night_Black · May 31, 2021, 3:55pm

say technician, it doesn’t matter, it gets returned to hand rather than dieing so no patrol bonuses

bansa · May 31, 2021, 4:10pm

Oh I see does it get trashed instead of dying

Shadow_Night_Black · May 31, 2021, 4:11pm

Yes, tokens can’t exist anywhere other than in play, so once it gets to your hand it immeditaly goes “I dont belong here” and vanishes. But it still actually goes to your hand first (technically when they die, they also hit the discard pile, and the same thing happens)

just keep putting up barriers, only drew one card on the reshuffle, so shouldn’t need to worry about GN just yet.

bansa · May 31, 2021, 7:54pm

I had a line involving Sensei’s advice previous turn and accidently reshuffled with two copies of Sensei’s advice. I will roll back and redraw before taking my next turn.

Shadow_Night_Black · May 31, 2021, 10:48pm

after your done whooping my but this game, I might want to come back to the turn before last, as I think I may have made a different play knowing you would draw 2 cards of the reshuffle. that gives much better odds of the Glorious Ninja, and the possiblity of double tech 2 cards, but for the time being.

EDIT: wait never mind, I missed the reshuffle the turn before, thats my own fault.

Pretty sure I’m dead here but just making sure.

bansa · June 1, 2021, 2:27am

Yea, my draw count didn’t change, just one less Sensei’s advice in discard before rs. I have the right hand for lethal this turn. Entangling Vines Argo - Birds kill Vir - Mid Rook - Sensei’s Advice Ninjas - Ninjas and Rook deal 15 to base, GG!

bansa · June 1, 2021, 4:41am

Rook definitely seems like a better option. I think I have to forget about early aggression in this match up. It’s tough since I get drawn to White for the love of early aggression and board dominance similar to what Blue can do but it’s lacking a win con that goes with it against Purple.

I’m down for more if you are interested. Either we can continue this series or the deck you want to try out. Let me know if you want to test against something specifically.

Shadow_Night_Black · June 1, 2021, 9:38am

Agreed that not going for the aggresive plays is defo the better options. Birds are a nightmare for purple. I did go for a really greedy opener, T1 mox was probably the better play over plasmodium as P2, and given a rook opening, putting down vir to pressure + absorb some levels seems decent (might try an early max vir in a different game, white isn’t going to like dealing with that mech!)

Lets give this another go, should be me a much better idea of the matchup rather than the rather lopsided one I had previously.

Sure here is G3.
