Summon Skeletons
Lich’s Bargain
Sacrifice the Weak
Thoughts
Ouch, I had Sensei’s Advice in the back of my mind but forgot to patrol for it. I could use Sacrifice the Weak to kill Grave here, but at the expense of my entire board, leaving only a hero on patrol. Not ideal against Present II. I think I’m better off getting the Thieving Imp back down to reduce his hand size.

Whoof, I’ve got no way to deal with Immortal outside of going around it. I might need to shoot for Tech III here. I’ll try delaying with Necromancers and Catapults, but I’m completely out of my depth playing Necromancy II.

Thoughts
Well, at least the Saviour Monk’s gone. Hopefully this is enough of a board to keep my Tech II up for next turn, when I draw most of my Tech II units. Necromancers might be decent for attacking into Immortal, since they have long range. Teching in second Skeleton Lord and a Bone Collector, since I might as well try to get more Skeletons out there at this point: even if Skeletal Archery gets destroyed, they can still feed a Catapult if I can get it down. Going for the Imp over Summon Skeletons, to deal with Geiger’s sparkshot better. Workering Deteriorate over Summon Skeletons, hopefully the threat of it is enough to discourage Warp Gate Disciple.
No point going for Tech III, I think: if I’ve got enough board presence for it to help, I’ve probably stabilised enough to win anyway, as long as I can keep this Immortal under control.

surplus draw was RnD, the SMALL chance of this exact thing happening was why I didn’t bother maxbanding max last turn

Lich’s Bargain
Thoughts
Deck’s getting rather bloated here. I think I add Fencers here for hasted damage and cheap Necromancer fuel.
I think I Sacrifice the Weak to hit Chronofixer here, then I can midband Garth to kill Vandy. 3 gold for Skeleton Lord, 2 for StW, and 3 gold to midband makes 8 gold, so I’ll have enough for two of worker, maxband, and Skeleton. Or Lich’s Bargain, it’s painful when my workers and Base are already low but I might need the bodies.

I hadn’t really accounted for how expensive most Necromancy II units are if I’m recovering from Lich’s Bargains draining my worker count, and Garth’s maxbanding misfiring on dwarddd’s turn makes this even worse. Not sure there’s much I can do here, a Tricycloid can end things on the spot. I think getting the Catapult swinging on the base is the only chance I’d have here.

GG WP! Yeah, it seems so. Really, though, I think the problem is this deck has no obvious way to deal with / get around Immortal; even Entangling Vines gets countered by flicker / Temporal Distortion. In hindsight, I should’ve gone for the Catapults earlier instead of going for Necromancers, since their ability to attack buildings directly was probably the best option I had at that point.
yeah immortal is almost a MOLAC-level card in that if you don’t have a counter specifically for it once it’s on the field it’s all downhill xd
molac’s still better though once activated, but there are plenty of upgrade counters that can clear it
P1 against White starter seems the best time to try opening with Jandra.

this or a Vandy-grabbed shadow blade are the only ways I kill something here; this way Vandy ends up maxbanded meaning Rook can’t safely attack her without being midbanded and if he midbands Rook he can’t fencer and worker.
oh and its 1g cheaper
