Killing oni was important. No more boot camp for a turn at least. Let’s hope he was counting on oni
"
I did not know you could boot camp an exhausted unit. Blowing my mind there FS
Indeed, it exhausts the target anyway so best uses are either buffing something of yours after you exhaust it, or moving enemy patrollers out of the way by exhausting them XD
The general tactic I’m using here is commonly referred to as “Juggermox”. The mox is indestructible and you have no -1/-1 runes or hard unit removal in your deck, which allows me to simply make the mox bigger and bigger with every boot camp.

My Thoughts
Skipping the tech 1 hurts here holding both cadets, but oh well. Hopefully he either didn’t draw the second buff, or already workered it, so I can keep my tech 1. If not though, nbd, I’ll max out Oni
But if mox does die he loses the runes right?
When an indestructible unit would die, you remove all damage and “attachments”. This refers to card attachments, like Spirit of the Panda, but not +1/1 or -1/-1 runes. Those stick around after “death” (you can “permanently” kill an indestructible unit by applying enough -1/-1 runes to reduce its health to zero!)
So this mox will just get bigger and bigger, and will not lose its bulk when doing things like ramming down that Gunpoint Taxman XD
See here for more info

Going down low on cards, hmm. Not ideal. He could kill midori I bet using that damned boot camp. Technician it is cause lookout wouldn’t do much to stop that happening. It’s basically guaranteed unless he doesn’t have boot camp at all

Aaand darn, there’s forest’s favor. Well at least he’s bleeding cards. Boot Camp helps me kill Midori off, I’m gonna lose Oni right back to that basilisk but at least I can get some ducks out of it… Teching the other garrison and… a Chaos Mirror, might come in handy for nullcraft

He invested a lot into an onimaru that was sure to die. That concerns me. I must have really messed him up killing tech 1. Let’s see if it proves true.

You forgot to record base damage by the way

GG WP! Indeed, there are some weird, strong strategies you can come up with that have some hard counters, but a given opposing deck may lack those counters. Another example is Anarchy/Strength/Growth’s usage of Might of Leaf and Claw, along with Zane and Surprise Attack. If your deck doesn’t have upgrade removal, you will likely straight up lose as soon as MoLaC hits the table. Your only hope is to keep the opponent off tech 2, or base race.
In this case, probably your best bet would have been teching up quicker and forcing my mox plan into the “too slow” category, as its biggest weakness is that the mox starts out a small attacker and it takes a few turns of Boot Camping to get it moving. You notice I had to delay my tech 1 until turn 4 just to get it started off
You did do a good job of keeping lots of little weenie wisps in front of the mox, which is a good way to buy yourself space to tech up and beat the mox with superior units.
I’m happy to run it back with you as P1 if you’d like 
I feel like most things went my way that game and then out of nowhere I was totally at a loss. I’m down to try again, but I’m not optimistic my off beat deck works as well as I had hoped. Any advice given my deck choices?
I’m not entirely sure what your deck’s gameplan is, exactly, can you help me out with the idea?
Based on what you were teching, my only guess is you’re trying to pull off a Circle of Life for a Potent Basilisk (to break Battle Suits) and then transition that into a Temporal Distortion for a hasty Anarchy tech2(?)
The problem with that is it’s really slow and dependent on draws lining up pretty well, as you need to
- Draw a tech 1 unit
- Have it survive until you draw Circle of Life
- Have that unit survive until you can also bring out Geiger (requires midori death, hero’s hall or tech 2) AND draw TD
That’s a tough chain to set up flawlessly, especially as P2 where you’re forced to play a little more reactionary to your opponent. It’s also expensive to pull off as P1, so there aren’t a lot of games where you’re going to get that to work out.
Gemscout is also a pretty useless tech early on for anything but making that work a little easier, but not easier enough to make it worth teching.
I think you’d be better off trying to use Zane or Geiger + Now! early on to apply pressure while using green starter for a stall wall on defense, and transition to Present Tech 2 to do typical Geiger shenanigans (Hyperion + TD + Geiger maxband flicker, though that works best with Purple starter) But if that’s your best bet, you probably just want different specs to better support the win condition.
Cool man, appreciate it. I have given it some thought and am prepared for round 2!

Okay, let’s see if I can’t do better. I was too slow last time, meaning I need to be more offensive early. My setup should pan out when I get tech 2 exactly.
