Yeah, that’s part of why we require it for the tournaments, but in this case we’re just banging out some experimental games. You can probably infer the tech choices, and the exact build orders are still in flux, so I don’t know how much info you’ld get.
After I ended my turn 5 I realized summoning Geiger was really silly. Bringing Vir would’ve been wiser, limiting by far your options to prevent a huge blast.

I’m really enjoying these games! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use Temporal Research as effectively as you did there Marto.
Can I make a request though? I know it’s a pain to track hidden zones, but I’d really really appreciate seeing your tech decisions.[/quote]
Thanks It was a test for me - I never used Knights of the Conclave before. Yet on game 2 I tried to improve the tactic, keeping Fading Argo, both Knights and Plasmodium in my 8-cards deck for T3, so I was pretty sure to cast a full Temporal Research on T3 or T4, depending when I drew it.
My teching order was, iirc, 2x Knights, 2x Seer, 2x Omegacron and 2x Now! in that order. As for each turn’s hand, I must say I didn’t keep a track for that…
Thanks for telling me your tech order. It’s nice to see your hand, but at the moment I’m more interested in how people tech. One of the things I’m finding fascinating about Codex is that the deck-building element is so nuanced. People tend to look at it just at the level of which 3 heros you pick, but I’m finding it more helpful to think about different build orders within and across hero choice.
