Thoughts

Building up my Tech III. Finally get to kill Jaina here. Depending on my draws, I could close out the game very soon. He’s hurting for board control and I have my T3 up. I don’t think he has enough in play to try for a Gunship rush, but if I ever do let him get to Gunships, it could be the end of the line for me.

@dozenal
The card text for Desperation reads:

If your hand is empty, trash this card and draw three cards. (You can only reshuffle once per main phase.)
Discard your hand at the end of the main phase.

The main phase happens before Draw/discard. I could be wrong about this, but I believe this means that you discard all cards drawn from Desperation, and then you move to the Draw/Discard phase, which would yield “Discard 0, Draw 2” Also, I don’t think you are required to reveal what you draw from Desperation. (You can put it in spoilers).

Edit: if I’m correct on that card ruling and it significantly changes things for you, I’m totally okay with you editing/redo’ing your turn if needed. Just lemme know :slight_smile:

Ah I see, “Discard your hand at the end of the main phase” means that you discard 0 and draw 2 in Draw/Discard". Yeah, I completely misinterpreted that card. I’m happy to concede at this point, I would need crazy luck to draw Pirate Gunship with such a small hand size. If you really want to continue playing to see the Moss Ancient in action then that’s cool too. If you want to keep playing then I’ll make my move tomorrow (pretty late now)

Nah that’s okay. No need to draw things out if the game isn’t looking winnable. I had Moss Ancient ready to go and I don’t know if you would have been able to take out my T3. Pirate Gunship would definitely be nasty, but it seems unlikely that you could manage T3 surviving long enough for it.

Let me know if you want to rematch or switch colors. I don’t mind playing Green or switching up to Red, or playing anything else, really :slight_smile:

I got the Deluxe set while we were playing! New match would be great, but definitely going to mix it up. Thinking my next game will either be {[Balance], Feral, Present}, {[Balance], Growth, Present}, or {[Necro], Anarchy, Strength}. You feel like fighting any of those?

Edit: Rolled 61

@dozenal:

Grats on the deluxe set! Now the real fun begins!

I’ll play vs whatever you like. I’ve wanted to try Necro/Blood/Growth for a little while, so I’ll play that. I rolled 45 so you can go first.
