Getting some practice in with my CAWS deck, and I’m interested to see what Cstick’s got up his sleeve! My guess is early River / Grave pressure to move into Present tech 2? May peek at what he did with the deck last time to get a better idea! [/details]
[details=My Thoughts]
No idea what I’m even doing with this deck… just doesn’t feel all that powerful in practice, primarily because it’s so lacking of strong tech 1 gameplay I think… [/details]

I think I want to get to Tech 2 ASAP. Growth Tech 2 is really strong, and I don’t want to be dawdling around with Tech 1 stuff like normal against it. Unfortunately, my cycling isn’t great right now, so even if I build it next turn I won’t be able to play any tech 2 stuff on turn 4. I really wish I hadn’t played the messenger last turn, and had instead waited to play Tenderfoot this turn. It would have improved my cycling a bit and made my defense more resilient against Mad Man.

Well this was a nice turn… I’m probably taking away a really strong Fencer / Argo / Rambasa + Two-Step move by killing tech 1, and I’ll force an investment in River if he wants to take down Crash Bomber… I should have lots of room to go to tech 2 next turn, and I should dominate there, but just in case I don’t I’ll bring in the other Crash Bomber. Birds next turn should be good at keeping him honest, and man if I can get Spirit of the Panda on them and/or Dinosize they’ll be scary as hell! [/details]

Discord worked out decently. Next turn I get to build my tech 2. He’ll probably build his Tech 2 as well. I’m expecting Growth, but Blood is scary as well. I teched Hyperion and Tricycloid because they’re both good. I’m not sure what I want to tech next, because I’m a little wary about filling my deck with expensive units.

Strength is an interesting choice. I decided to tech another Hyperion to help me go back up on cards, and a Reversal because I figure it might be good against patrolling Barbarbarians.

Well he dumped his hand bigtime and now I have the upper hand! I have to assume Hyperions are what is coming, and that means making a Drakk play like this is pretty sure to get Drakk killed… OTOH I definitely keep birds alive one more turn and potentially get a whiff on Discord or Two Step if he teched it for the Hyperions. And there’s a ~42% chance even if he teched 2 Hyperions that he didn’t draw either. I suppose I risk that he could flicker the Hyperion with Geiger getting levels, but I guess I’ll take the risk? Idk lol… [/details]

I’m in pretty serious danger here of just losing to Dinosize/SotP. I think if he breaks my Tech 2 now, I probably just lose, and I’ll be in good shape to win otherwise.

GG WP! I’m guessing I got lucky you didn’t draw Hyperion turn 5?
GG. Yeah, I whiffed on Hyperions. It’s partially my fault, though, both for going down on cards and for messing up my cycling by playing messenger on turn 1 instead of waiting for tenderfoot on turn 2.

I knew it was a decent chance you’d draw them and then, therefore, be able to flicker Hyperion if you skipped worker. I lucked out, though I think I wasn’t totally sunk if you did kill Drakk.

Trying something different, my guess is that he drew Older Brother and he floated gold so he could play Flagbearer / Fruit Ninja + tech 1 next turn. Guessing he drew Messenger, hoping he didn’t draw Spark as well! [/details]
