Thanks for agreeing to play! My aim is a defensive deck, just enough pressure to make the game last till late, honestly no idea what specs to include but this seemed like a fun first try.
Im sorry, i hadnt mentioned I’d prefer playing with the balance changes, the relevant ones here would be to Garth, Lich’s Bargain and Bird’s Nest. If you’d rather not have them apply that’s also okay

Vandy

Garth

If you have no units in play, remove all runes from this
Ah, yes, that would have been good to mention in your post. I normally don’t like to mess with balance changes, but if none of my cards are affected, I guess I can just ignore them, so feel free to use them if you want.

I find Temporal Research to be too inefficient to be worth using in most situations, so I’ll ditch it early.
Modify text to “Destroy a tech 0 unit, a tech 1 unit, or an upgrade”, change card type from “Spell - Debuff” to “Spell”

this requires them to either have forgotten Fighter, nc and time spiral/seer orrr two time rune things and forgotten fighter, with just 4 cards I reckon I’m safe
Meanwhile if i draw thunderclap next turn i should be able to take out some key pieces (tinkerer and Vir would be good) and tech up

Reshuffle’s about to trigger, leaving 1 Remember in codex to fetch later; also Seer is preferable to Time Spiral in the midgame. In any case, I’ll want all 4 time rune manipulators eventually. Well, I’ll only be drawing 1 card off the reshuffle, meaning no chance of getting a Rememberer and a time rune remover next turn. Maybe better to avoid patrolling as Technician, then, even though it hurts to be so low on cards. Actually, nevermind… even with just 1 of them, there’s a good chance I can get some non-combat value from it using my other heroes. Also… leaving Fading Argonaut on 1 rune so it’s tempting to let it die to fading instead of attacking into it.

bruhhh bottom decked both necromancers. I wonder what kind of past they r going for… that sort of money seems like rememberers which will bring out a lot of stuff, I might be fallng behind here if I can’t get a tech 2 out… corpse Catapult will make some value out of my hoard since I don’t get yo resurrect them as skeles
The Catapult will surely destroy my Tech III, but if my Tech II and at least one Rememberer survive, I can get another free Golgort. Along with the Knights arriving next turn, that should present considerable pressure.

rememberers it is, gotta keep that tech 3 down now although next turn they should be out of seers so time spiral should be the only extra unit (after normal fading… hmm). should be able to get 3/3 skeles next turn which is fun
Mm, i had intended to kill the technician rememberer but as i didnt write it in and also just saw their entire hand idm leaving it. Rook’s on 6hp tho XD

Rewind is coming, but I think I can do enough damage first. ah, I wrote this before thinking about my turn
afaik, you are correct. arrival fatigue comes the turn you get creatures, but since the skeles arrived on the opp turn, during yours they are ready for combat.
P1T1 is rough for mono-Purple in general, because Purple starter has the highest mana curve and its only $1 card is Time Spiral. But, I like playing Plasmodium on T1.
