Really interested to see if Drakk is enough to make Law units threatening. Of course just a Frenzied Centaur is frightening too. Although with him also playing blood, I really don’t want to get a Centaur kidnapped.
I’m okay with a Deteriorate that gives me 1 gold! However, it really makes Garth quite safe, so that’s a good reason for him to play it that way. I don’t want to give him anything too valuable to kidnap, so I’m going with weaker Tech I units, that Drakk can buff. I considered bringing in Calamandra first and wait for Tech II to bring in Drakk, but I want to try the blunt approach first.

Lich’s Bargain… didn’t see that one coming - those units are definitely a threat with the possible Blood Synergies. He can simply midband Drakk next turn and win the game. Killing one of the Skeletons potentially keeps my Drakk alive as he only has 7 gold to spend but I have to take care to not give him an additional gold… The card draw is terrible too, as I’m very afraid of another Lich’s Bargain. However, if my Drakk stays alive the race with the Juggernauts can officially begin!
Edit: nope, just recalculated, Drakk is dead and this game is lost, unless he makes a mistake.

Not sure if this is the right move here, but I don’t see any good alternatives (Bigby would also work, but I want to try using the green spells to gain an early advantage this time around). With Hero + Playful Panda, my hero can be killed by midbanding Garth unless I put Wisp in Squadlead and even then Deteriorate would get me. The other line I considered is Ironbark Treant, which is horrible against Sacrifice the Weak.
