Ok, that reversal for me on the wrong foot. I was too cocky with this ton of float instead of playing river as well, obviously. Wonder if this mistake cost me the game…

after bottom decking lizzo, then technician draw guide which prevented me from playing the very relevant extra patroller brother I’m finally lucky: technician draw bloom means a DP in my next hand for sure, woohoo! now let’s see whether Garth survives. but hopefully he’s running out of steam soon and his deck definitely is ultra diluted. ofc it’s still possible to have lucky draws align well for him

This is it! Finally I get a chance to act and the deck delivers! Even if I don’t hit a virtuoso (60%) with DP, I can still clear the patrol, break tech 3 and bring tech 2 for another 3 and have vandy, skeleton and at least one lizzo for defense (Guide backline). If I hit bloom+wither it’s double tech break and vandy+skeleton in patrol.
Post DP: realized that I prefer a Maestro in game over Lizzo+skeleton…

I have severly underestimated your strategy with this deck and played too optimistic. Also your start wasn’t close to an optimal one with AS in the starting hand and me being able to punish your gamble turn 2. Without wanting to sound cocky, I think the future P2 matches are going to be way more intense than the ones with me being P1 as white usually struggles with being P2. Let’s swap sides at least once, after that we should probably stick to me being P2.

again not my a game. completely forgot safe attacking when evaluating my future turns and what the board state then will be. but still this game is already won. He has no way to recover his hand size properly and let him overextend to do some damage (two-step plus starlet really would be a threat) - this deck recovers so ultra fast, there is nothing to worry about

maxband rook is probable, but don’t see him as a problem especially in case Maestro survives or if I draw another virtuoso and garth survives. But with two virtuosos, possibly a technician draw, midband Garth draw and two DP in my current deck of 6 it should be a safe bet, even in case of Snapback/reversal/whatever

was shortly considering soul stone…
This should be it, so tech 3 obviously is overkill, but well…
On the off chance he snapbacks vandy and plays double discord this is the safest bet to a direct victory.
