GG WP, I have oathkeeper but you will just sword or reversal him, or fds and stealth my base.

I have very little faith in this deck now…

YoungBuck · December 20, 2016, 10:39pm

Yeah I meant to say Tech 3 anyway, not Tech 2 haha

Yeah whats the answer to this early pressure? Honestly im kicking myself for not going harder on early pressure Grave strats with Mono-White more, seems very difficult for anyone to build board against such strong early pressure. Seems to be a theme throughout Codex actually, Seems like a Turtle defense is so difficult to build

[details=My Thoughts][spoiler]
FINALLY I get BROgre turn 1. This puts me in ideal position where he has to be concerned about losing Grave for free levels, as Bombaster/Scorch + Mad Man means I can cut through a Savior Monk / Smoker next turn defense of a 3/1 lvl 3 Grave. Perhaps it really has been that draws just didn’t line up for me to play optimally into this pressure, I’m going to keep an open mind about utilizing Anarchy Tech 2 in this matchup, though I still feel like Barbs are the way to go. Versatile Style does NOT affect ongoing spells though, so Panda Spirit is definitely a good tech in my eyes!

One other thing I’ve missed in previous goes at this matchup is that turn 2 getting Water Elemental in would have been SUPER helpful, and I think I’ll aim to do that this game, perhaps even forgoing tech 1 until turn 3 (?).

Okay yea, going for it, logic being better to have something to beat him down with early and relieve him of his early pressure rather than this constant getting beat down by Reversal. Really though Aged Sensei is so key to all the good trades he sets up, killing it right now is HUGE. That alone may snowball into me beating him down.

Awesome, now his early pressure is dissipated, he can’t gain advantage from Reversal, he HAS to pay 4 gold to kill Elemental safely, and I get to build tech 2 safely and have a decent shot at Doubling Barb the next turn. I’m almost guaranteed Arg to survive as well, though that isn’t a huge deal if I don’t have spells in the deck for him

Of Course, I DO hit the low chance to draw doubling Barb (2/7? ugh) but at least I can do other things like max Zane if I want to…

Le sigh… I’m in trouble. Going to try Grappler this game, if I can manage to protect him or draw Charge together with him I can wreck some ninjas, that’d be huge value. Chaos Mirror + Colossus isn’t a terrible idea either, nor is doing a Mythmaking + Morningstar Pass deal, but I didn’t play for that this game…

But of course, he gets Porcupine AND Ninja… Fuck… I can get the ninja OR the Porcupine after the Barb draw, but I can’t get both, and that is highly problematic… Now I have no idea what my win condition is, I think I just slowly lose to ninjas… but I guess we’ll try it and see, he did skip a worker so maybe I lay Barb + Panda next turn and have that buy me enough time to … Gunship? Idk lol…

I’ll FF, I can’t keep up with Ninjas and Porcupines…

I was going to try Anarchy this game, why did I not do that? Lol… well regardless, I don’t think I know what I’m doing with this deck.

Casual: FrozenStorm v YoungBuck

Game 4, Player 2, Turn 7

##Events of Turn:

[details=My Thoughts] Well he’s still going mad heavy with resources, so maybe I can just bleed him out on his tiny hand? I guess we’ll see! [/details]

Game 4, Player 2, Turn 8

##Events of Turn:

[details=My Thoughts] This is bad, but ugh what can you do against that? I’m starting to think I’m going to struggle a lot in CAWS… [/details]

Game 5, Player 2, Turn 1

##Events of Turn:

One other thing I’ve missed in previous goes at this matchup is that turn 2 getting Water Elemental in would have been SUPER helpful, and I think I’ll aim to do that this game, perhaps even forgoing tech 1 until turn 3 (?). [/spoiler][/details]

Game 5, Player 2, Turn 2

##Events of Turn:

Game 5, Player 2, Turn 3

##Events of Turn:

Of Course, I DO hit the low chance to draw doubling Barb (2/7? ugh) but at least I can do other things like max Zane if I want to… [/spoiler][/details]

Game 5, Player 2, Turn 4

##Events of Turn:

[details=My Thoughts] Bummer I don’t kill Grave but he’s without a sword now, and can’t gain levels from hero kills [/details]
