Well, it does mean that both sharks can ignore the Basilisk completely, for what that’s worth. I agree it won’t be quite as cool, but it’ll still be exciting! (:

I just realized that I forgot to tech anything on turn 5. I’m not sure what a good fix is for this. Besides that, I could plan out a turn, but I want to know if I should do something like tech 2 additional cards, then reshuffle and redraw. What is the best fix for this mistake?

@EricF

17

I’m cool with whatever you want to do. If you want to restart the game from that point, we can just go backwards on our spreadsheets. Or if you just want to add the 2 tech cards to your deck, that’s fine too.

18

I think that going back makes the most sense. I don’t feel like it would be fair for me to just add in the new cards now with advanced knowledge of the current gamestate.

My new turn 5 is the same as the last one, except I teched cards this time and am playing Jaina instead of Midori.

Ok sounds good. I decided to switch my Tech II around which will cause a little bit of problems, but ultimately I think is a much stronger play. Hope you don’t mind!
