[details=Thoughts][spoiler]
I maybe shouldn’t have risked the skele-draw, considering how limited it made my funds, but any of Seer, Origin Story, Sac the Weak, or Deteriorate would have given me game, and a 4/11 chance for game seemed worth it.

I had a tough time figuring out what to kill and what to play:

  • I really wanted to play Jandra for her Overpower, but I really didn’t want her downside.
  • I wanted Twins for the extra bodies.
  • I wanted MPM to protect against abilities, and for damage.
  • I wanted HE to get rid of his bodies, and I ultimately decided that was more important. And because of stupid skele, I had to leave Vandy alive to get marginal value out of HE. Vandy scared me, but then I realized that I really don’t want to help him draw, and Dark Pact will kill him now. Maxxed and boosted, she’d make an impressive blocker, but that’ll be hard to while still playing Z-Man; he’d have to use Mr. T3 to take out Prynn or Garth to afford it, and that leaves all my other stuff around.
  • I wanted to patrol Focus Master in Elite, so Vandy would have to suicide to kill it, but then I realized that that would max Prynn, so that an incoming Z-Man could kill Prynn and give him back a Voidblocker. So instead, Focus Master goes in SQL, where Vandy will have to attack and Shadow Blade to kill him (barring Orpal spells). Of course, he could just throw weak Vandy into my FM without maxxing her, but then he’s tossing away one blocker for another (albeit a better one), without taking out my FM. I’m okay with that choice, I think.

…After the draw, I cannot complain. Between Hooded Executioner, Sac the Weak, and Origin Story, I should be in good shape.
