Thoughts

Nice momentum shift. My next turn will slow down a bit.

one wisp from panda, another from arg

Can I change my turn to account for that?

Yes, please do :slight_smile:

I fixed it.

Awesome, thanks for that :wink: I am indeed just full of wisps.

Want to make sure Iā€™m 100% clear before we get too far ahead:

  • That was your turn 4, not turn 3, yes?
  • The Fargo is going to fade out during your upkeep (and doesnā€™t get techn bonus, as you clear patrol before upkeep)
  • Your deck looks thin, did you forget to tech cards in? Your previous turn had 4 in hand, 3 in deck, last turn you only workered, so youā€™d DC 3 Draw 3 rs Draw 2, and the 2 youā€™re drawing are out of 2 teched + 3 discarded, so you should have 3 in deck?

Yup, nice work Arg. Iā€™ll just feral strike my way to victory then XD


Youā€™re right, it was turn 4. I know that fading argonaut dies this upkeep, I figured that putting him on patrol one last time would be better. I havenā€™t neglected to tech as far as I can tell. Does battle suits go to discard or is it trashed?

Discard, Potent B destroys upgrades or spells and destroys means goes to discard. Nature Reclaims would trash it (meaning totally removed from play).

Yea if not for the patrolling Fargo I would have killed Geiger last turn most likely, so it makes sense, just wanted to be sure it was clear.

Carry on!

Cool. Glad battle suits isnā€™t permanently gone.

GG, FrozenStorm. Do you have advice for how I should change my play?

GG WP :slight_smile:

As for advice, a couple of things:

  • Generally if youā€™re planning to fast-tech 2, putting Mox down isnā€™t a great idea. Better to play around a hero and T1 a turn or two longer to get value out of the Mox

  • Stewardess of the Undone is very powerful in this matchup, as Green has no haste until tech 2. So being able to reset a T0 green unit back to hand buys a lot of board position and strength (plus it can straight up pop Wisps, which Green uses to stall in great effect)

  • Game 1 P2T3: Teching WGD here is very optimistic. Youā€™re not likely to be able to protect it super well. If you had teched Now! along with it, that might have been okay, but still, WGD is better once you have an Immortal already down in front of it. Xenostalker is a Future unit, not Present, so Iā€™m also really confused by that choice.

Generally, you fast-tech Present for Tricycloid, Hyperion, and Geiger synergy.

  • G1P2T4: Think if you had teched Now! + WGD the turn previously. Youā€™d be drawing into both next turn, and could have spent this turn laying the other Argonaut + Assimilating my Tree. With the Tree on your side, I really struggle to get you off tech 2, where Present is a monster with itā€™s combos.

  • G2P1T2: Bringing out Geiger against Cala was super unsafe. This gave me a huge leg up in this game.

  • G2P1T4: Now! could have netted you a kill here, by casting it on Geiger (he kills panda + sparkshots Wisp) then crashing Fargo + Mox into Cala. This would have prevented my Feral Strike and gotten you right back into the game (honestly given you the lead. I should have put panda in Lookout to prevent this move or double Stewardess as scary things).

Overall, your play was solid!

I did tech the WGD to use with now and even had them both in my hand, but I never got a chance to play them before that oppressive last turn.
Thanks for the advice about the mox, stewardess, and Geiger.
Thanks for the games as well.
