Argo resist was me forgetting to take it off from having initially patrolled it in lookout, I think. Will get to the turn soon!

[details=Thoughts]First, we have to deal with this board.

Line 1: drop two time runes and a Nullcraft bop onto Macciatus. Time Spiral (1) gives me a third bop. That lets me clear off an Illusion, and Hyperion (5) kills the SQL. Argonaut kills off Reteller, Seer kills Grave, Tricycloid kills Quince, I patrolā€¦?

Line 2: Time Spiral (1) on Tricycloid, Now! (1 + 2 for Geiger) on Tinkerer (2), that brings it up to 4 runes. Temporal Research (2) draws me into two useless cardsā€“so, thereā€™s really no hope of drawing into anything I tech this turn. Abandon that line.

Line 3: Time Spiral, Now! -> Tinkerer costs 6 gold, I can Hyperion to round it out. Two runes + Nullcraft kills Macciatus, send the last two runes at SQL and Reteller. Tricycloid kills Quince, Seer kills Grave, maxband Geiger and trash/replay Tricycloid as a huge blocker. Hyperion breaks Tech II.

Just realized I messed up slightly, but it doesnā€™t change the turn. I forgot to exchange a card instead of just playing it off the top, but both Now! and Argonaut were in my hand before the turn started.

gg, present hits hard and fast. wasnā€™t expecting to die there

Me either! Hyperion with Battle Suits is nasty because it hits the magic 5 attack you need to break a tech or deal 25% of lethal.

In this matchup, I definitely would gun for another spec, simply because Present has so many ways to stuff illusions. You built up some scary boards, though! I was super focused on keeping you off my back. And I knew I either had to win or destroy T2 so you couldnā€™t drop a Mind Parry Monk.
