Might as well get Tech 1 out before the Building Inspector arrives. Jandra’s my only choice to get a body on the field. Probable next turn: Thieving Imp and Vandy, Haven’t decided Tech 2 plan yet, learning toward Necro for variety. Bone Collector is just good value regardless.
Getting rid of Jandra seems WORTHWHILE. This will prevent Soul Stone shenanigans and also will force him to go down on cards if he wants to have board presence which will, in turn, slow him down. Unfortunately Garth and Vandy can help rectify that. Let’s go for Peace Tech II + The Art of War as a general murder plan.
Figured Jandra wouldn’t last long, only question now is does he max up Oni next turn. Don’t want to put out a hero for fear of Arrest right now, and hopefully the Haunt will force him to make a move with Oni. Going down on cards early to try and grab board advantage, we’ll see how that works.

Not the most efficient, maybe, but it clear Oni’s boys, and he won’t want to attack Orpal.
I’m a bit late with this, but for future reference: this wouldn’t work, since Orpal’s maxband ability targets, and Traffic Director (in elite) is untargetable.
Edit: actually, the earlier action wouldn’t work either, since Orpal’s midband ability can’t sacrifice Demons.

Well, I don’t need to keep Onimaru around and I really don’t want Orpal being a bitch so we’re gonna hinder him like a mofo and see if we can’t sneak the kill in. If he attacks with anything currently on the board, it will die unless he attacks the Newsman after using Deteriorate. I probably could delay building Tech II but I’d rather have it up and ready to go as soon as possible.

Orpal did his job, he crippled Oni, good enough for me. Now the question is, do I max up Vandy next turn and ensure that the Newsman ends up dead or not? I would have liked to grab Tech 2, but the gold didn’t work out…that’s fine, I have sollid board control now. So far, so good.

Okay, Onimaru and Orpal are gone and now we get into the GARRISONS baby. I’ve set up my Patrol to avoid sparkshot nonsense and to make targeting the Mirror Illusion more costly. I’m feeling good for the moment.

The Peace Engine is fully online and I think I should be able to clean up this game. He’s gone into Disease and that could be spooky but I have the runes to mitigate the nonsense. I THINK.

There’s probably a better line of attack here, but he’s left without much. Garrison’s down, that’s high priority. All he can attack with is the Sergeant and Qunice, and Snakeyhair will deal with one of them.
