I don’t think I can deal with that! :open_mouth: Not without Drakk to cast Kidnapping again…

I’ll concede here; gg! I think if I’d had more forethought and teched Kidnapping earlier, things could’ve been a different story, what with Rampaging Elephant potentially fighting for me. Also, I should’ve taken Overpower into account, and Kidnapped the Barkcoat Bear instead, I think. But that’s mostly later-game stuff, too. I don’t have a good grasp on Red’s early game yet, I think.

26

gg! up for another?

Yeah, I think teching kidnapping as soon as you saw I was Feral would have been a good idea. Also, I think the main card in fire T2 is the bird. I really don’t have a good answer for that, and would have struggled much more against it than I did firehouse.

27

Yeah, back on Turn 4 when I teched Firehouse, I was really aiming to nullify a lot of the token-spawning that Green can do, but you wound up going the complete opposite route!

I’m up for another! Random.org 2 (I think “high roll goes first” is how it is, right?)

28

My turn to go first. I’ve seen people decide who starts it a number of ways, though.
