Thoughts

i thought about playing downrich earth, but with him having Cal, and me not having a strong hero to respond, i dont think i can afford to go behind that much.

growth will be pretty great this game to rune snipe any illusions he brings out.

thinking ahead, bone collectors will be pretty efficient, and with young treant in my second hand, i can perhaps drop 2 of them turn 3.

double bone collector for wall and possible skeleton economy.

probably doomgrasp on Cal in 2 turns.

tech 2 rush to blooming ancients.

"

4

doesn’t it cost 2? i see a multi C codex in the title :confused:

5

I paid 2. you can see the gold reduced from 5 to 3.

6

i quoted shamusj, mate :wink:

7

Yup will correct

8

sounds good. i wont have a turn change, so go ahead and update/post next turn.

9

To keep things simple, I’ll float 1 instead of building a Tech 1, everything else is the same.

10

btw, should have said this before, but im interested in how green starter plays against green starter. i imagine we will have lots of gold.

no turn change for me, so onward we go.

11

Yeah, should be interesting! I’ll try to do at least one or two moves a day, sorry if that’s too slow, and please do watch for my mistakes even though Legion usually catches them :wink: I have not put as much time into Codex as I would have liked to!

double bone collector for wall and possible skeleton economy.

brringing in gemscout owls to try and keep as many cards out of the deck as possible. since he dropped rich earth i think i can afford the weaker play, plus bone colectors will do good work for me.

probably rushing blooming ancients / liches bargain for the rune avalanche

Did you pay for that Panda (and the accompanying wisp)?

Also, it seems like you haven’t teched any cards.

15

Thats because I drew during my turn but I forgot to tech first, and the spreadsheet doesn’t allow undo! So I added my techs into the deck.

Whoops you’re right, hard to use the spreadsheet without practice, sorry. Zero float then!

Playing this game with a spreadsheet is like an accountancy project…it sucks the joy out of it :confused:

Thank you for pointing out my errors though, I appreciate it!
