Forgot about the Oni sacrifice option and especially this damn Zane maxband and was too afraid of elite training. Patrolling with a bird was a bad mistake, especially as this gave away the extra SL amor for GPT, which would have cost you the extra cadet and saved me a bird and you couldn’t play that extra worker. What a blunder!
Now let me guess what a surprise I have to swallow next
What line would you have picked in my place, if you are able to answer now? Bombaster+bird killing stewardess with the risk of increasing your likelyhood to draw sharks and worker a card or draw an extra card myself instead of you with skipping the worker and go for tower?
Edit1: got mixed up in turn numeration, changed that. Edit 2: forgot to mark this with the corresponding sentence I just inserted

Thoughts
So my lines:
Bird+Bombaster/scorch trading stewardess seems worth it
Mad man+Zane trading cadet: nope, better have extra blockers.
On the other hand I want to have as many blockers as he has attackers in case he whiffed on surprise attack.
It really comes to the decision tower vs extra worker, which is a harsh one. More gut feeling than calculated outcome, really…
Also what to ping is difficult. I’d prefer to not give him the option to sacrifice Zane on his terms without consequences, but that actually is not an option now. Attacking any his other units doesn’t make sense in my eyes as well as patrolling feels weak. Attacking a building is also cute only.
Well, it feels like game over already, let’s see where the road takes us.
