Casual: Marto [Strength / Discipline] / Finesse vs Jasonwocky [Purple]

Hey @Marto, I figured I’d tag you to start the thread. You’re P1T1.

To post hidden information, we usually use the little gear icon and pick “Hide details”. Make sure there’s a blank line before any spoilered text, though, otherwise the spoilers don’t work. You might want to post your first move with fake text in the spoilers, make sure the formatting is correct, and then edit the post to put the right info in, just to be safe.

Hey @jasonwocky !
Sorry for the long wait, but I’ve been quite busy these days.
Thanks for the tip, I’m testing that right now !

GL;HF!

Starting Hand and Thoughts

Fading Argonaut, Battle Suits, Forgotten Fighter, Hardened Mox, Plasmodium. His opening looks like he’s setting up for Two-Stepped Birds, perhaps? I’ll worry about that later. For now, I’ll put out Suits-upped Fading Argonaut and patrol in Elite. He’ll have to spend at least one card to get him with Rook, or else he risks getting Nullcrafted next turn.

Wouldn’t Rook take 3dmg? Fargo (2) + Suits + Elite, -1 for Sensei armor?

I read too quickly your board position and saw a 3 as first number; as it’s not Farg’s printed value I assumed all bonuses were applied. Sorry for that.

In that case, as I suspect your T1’s patrol choice implies a Nullcraft beatdown on T2, I won’t attack, and just change my patrol zone.

Ah yeah I can see that. Sorry for the confusion.

[details=Starting Hand and Thoughts]Tinkerer, Temporal, Time Spiral, Neo Plexus. Not having the Nullcraft to ping the Sensei is painful this turn. If he Thunderclaps next turn, he can break my Tech 1 with what he has on the board. Ready or Not would at least allow me to make a bit of a comeback in that case…I think?

Hey Marto, sorry! Tonight’s my wife’s birthday so I won’t be able to post :slight_smile: I definitely want to finish it up though, despite the fact that the tournament has started! Just give me till tomorrow am to make my next move :slight_smile:

Sorry for the delay!

[details=Starting Hand and Thoughts]Nullcraft, Ready or Not, Sentry, Temporal Research.
Completely whiffed on Ready or Not this turn. I could Vir it to the next turn, but will short me a gold in bringing out the Sentry (which is also not looking so hot right now, even though he did bring out the Bird’s Nest). He’s also threatening a maxband Rook, with a potential Earthquake in 2 turns, so I need to put an Origin Story in right away.

Hook, Snapback, Two Step, Two Step, Doubling Barbarian

[details=Starting Hand and Thoughts]Forgotten Fighter, Hardened Mox, Time Spiral, Temporal Research. Gah. This is a terrible hand.

Options:

  • Play Prynn & Temporal Research. Hope and pray that I draw Origin Story, b/c I feel that I really need to get that spell cast this cycle. That’s a 40% shot. If I don’t draw it, she dies next turn and I never get to cast it, though at least I’m back up on cards. That’s a big risk of failure, though.

  • Play Geiger & Forgotten Fighter, probably on one of the birds. This keeps him from doing 2 pings I think.

  • Play the Mox & Geiger. If/when Geiger dies, I don’t get to cast Ready or Not next turn.

  • Play the Mox, float some gold. Expect my T1 & T2 to die, expect/hope to cast both Ready or Not + Origin Story next turn (that’s 4 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 11g which means I need to float 2). /sigh. Ok. That.
