well, I f#cked up my tech choices a bit… that’s going to be grim now, especially if reversals are in his mix. I have to hope for some wrong decision of his now…

And obviously I rebuilt tech 2

Another lizzo…

Guide AND MM in these three, that’s even more devastating than I was expecting… that’s probably GG

50

Yup, I actually drew Starlet so the extra draw ended up irrelevant :sweat_smile:

Well deserved. Did you feel lucky at some point? I messed my tech choices up a bit but it didn’t feel like it would have made a big difference…

52

Up for another one? Which side do you want to take?

53

Yeah, my draws definitely worked out this game, especially the 33% for a Maestro on the reshuffle (digging for it with MM would’ve meant giving up a card), then a free card to break through to Vandy, and almost immediately redrawing MM. Only thing I was missing was the T1 Aged Sensei.

I’d like to have another go as P2, even though, as you say, it feels like an uphill battle.
