My Thoughts

Hmm so probably what’s going to happen here is rook will die and then AS will play for a turn 4 meta? I think my plan needs to be tech up next turn, so gonna grab the ancients. probably put a hero down to block also

My Thoughts

Nope I get my birds! but now I’m definitely not keeping rook lol, not unless I just max him right here. Wouldn’t be the worst call ever but not worth, I’d rather just trade him away to that Vandy, max her right now, hope to kill her next turn (hopefully with ancient runes on the birds, but shambler runes if not)

Bah, I totally forgot that the Tower needs to build in order for you to attack my heroes, could have won this game :confused: kindda thinking about just quitting after this mistake, not sure I can win anymore. Anyway I’ll see what I can do this turn and let you know

I mean it’s fair to respect the Stampede, I didn’t have it but if I did you’re risking just straight up losing and that’s fair to respect.

We can come back to later but I think the real mistake here was going so hard at my buildings turn 4 with Zane and sharks. I can only assume with that dark pact you had rambaster or mad man, you can break the tech 2 with just that (even still kill a bird if it’s rambaster), tech up and lay midori as a blocker, and go for the 3 hero meta on turn 5. That would have been the true disaster case for me.

Patience is key with meta. You want to be doing just enough to skate the edge of keeping Vandy safe for it.

Makes sense, I still need to learn how to play that play-style correctly :slight_smile: anyway I just don’t feel like continuing this game, GGWP!

GG WP! Learn something new each game :slight_smile:

Your turn to go first, or if you like we can swap over to the other deck

32

Actually we played out the rest of the matches of the tournament already (I’ve been doing horribly btw, currently 1-3). Tonight I’ll probably play this matchup, so I don’t think we have enough time for another game :slight_smile: I’ll let you know once the next one starts ^^
