Ah wait a second I need to redo my turn because I didn’t see the Pillage.

22

No, I just added it; if you already started your turn, we’ll go with that; I’ve returned my post to how it started. I feel like I constantly want to fiddle with my turns in this game!

23

Ah okay, so that’s why I failed to account for it. Yeah I know that feeling about making every detail even better!

So my turn stands and it is your turn, okay?

24

Yep, working on it now

25

Please check again that nothing got mixed up in the edits as it now says you teched only 1 card and you have one card more in Deck than the first version of your post.

26

Ok, I just reverted to the original draft, reentered everything, and it seems to work now. I think the problem was that, the first time, I was still typing in one of my tech cards when I hit draw/discard, and that seems to have messed up the spreadsheet.

Nautical Dog has 1+1(Frenzy)+1(Charge)+1(Drakk)=4 Attack but needs 4+1(armor)=5 to trade with Centaur. Am I miscalculating something?

29

Oh, no, I saw 3/4 and forgot the armor. Let me see if I can figure somethign legal out

30

Ok, fixed it above; pretty much the same except your Merfolk lives and Drakk takes more damage. I thought it seemed too good to be true before…

Thoughts

Okay, my calculation about the Tech II before was completely wrong, still delaying Tech II thanks to Verdant Tree should allow me more board control this turn. I thought about getting a Tower instead of maxband Arg + Water Ele but this is more immediate board control and Tower does not help with Crashbarrows, which is what I’m most afraid of atm.

Man, going from no Tech IIs to the Baslisk in a turn is pretty impressive and effective.

Alright, you’ve got me again. I think I need to play less agressively. I keep thinking that I can achieve something if I keep using haste to kill your things, but that just allows you to build an advantage in terms of gold and quality. Then you play a T-Rex and I’m completely up a creek.

I’m happy to keep playing if you’re still in the mood. I’m going to try [Feral]/Truth/Strength and rolled a 76

39

Good game!

That was a problem I also had when I tried red - no board presence at all. I think that is why I like green so much - you win just by having more stuff, no fancy tricks!

If it helps you to decide anything in the future: I think Blood + Feral is a very threatening combination and Drakk makes all the solid units of Feral even better with his midband. Also, I was worried about Crashbarrows the whole time until you revealed your tech choice.

I will probably try something different soon, but for now I will stick with mono-green. I got a 57.

40

Yeah, definitely, and it’s something I’d like to explore farther. What I need, though, is some way to defend as well.
