My Thoughts
This is such a terrible hand to have drawn… I can’t setup anything hasty Spirit of the Panda next turn, I’m likely to lose both the units I have, I can’t easily kill Cala, and I don’t have a good thing to worker. I suppose the best thing to do is to posture as if I can get a tech2 unit down next turn and hope it prompts a reach play. Otherwise I’m probably Bird + SotPing next turn and skipping worker? Sure. What am I workering here? Rambaster or Mad Man? I spose Mad Man…
As expected I didn’t get any teched cards from the RS, draw 1 and had my second turn 2 teched card last turn, so I can throw a bunch of Tech 0 cards at you in this turn before your BAs hit the table, yay

bummer I didn’t draw the flagbearer, but well… tough call whether I want to trade huntress for GPT, neglecting an attacking unit for a BA token target but giving him a card. he has so much haste, let’s try it the other way around. let’s see what he throws at me. don’t like my chances here
I suspect you teched some Feral Strike and didn’t actually want to draw it immediately I suppose we shall see though. Unfortunately I did draw my Ancient before I actually wanted it, cest le vie

My Thoughts
Well at least I can rest soundly that Dinosize wouldn’t have been any better here, neither would have Surprise Attack really (marginally better than this I spose). I think my best shot is trying to instamax a MoLaC at this point cuz Feral Strike is sure to wreck my day here, I don’t have black/garth unit removal like usual but I spose Sharks are the next best thing I can muster.
Guilty as charged wrt feral strike. It’s just so much better than anything else this codex has to offer when Cal maxband is available…
Now I have to hope this tech break finds a whole lot of Tech2 cards in your hand. But either way, your bad luck (1 out of 6 - ouch) opened up a window for me, let’s see whether I’ll be able to take this home!

if he has sharks, he can strike back, but I think I should still be in a good position. Hopefully this tech break comes at the right time in terms of his cards.
I’m heavily regretting that I workered turtle with tower and birds on the table
mega yikes! I’m going to fold to that, I have no recourse to recover, GG WP! Cala w/ Bloom is so super strong, tough to keep away from massive feral strikes like that. I have sharks and can technically kill Cala but at this point the damage is done.
I wonder if Finesse/Feral/X is a new mega threat, I could see Present, Future, Growth, Demonology all fitting the X well, in addition to Ninja.
Wow, GG! But how unfortunate that your bad luck decided the game - 5 out of 6 times drawing what you hoped for are some odds I would bet large sums on in this game…
Yeah well, that’s what Moby and I were throwing ideas around about for the last tournament. Sets is just an awesome addition for GNs (and card draw recovery) as hasted swift strike is just totally insane (plus I just love Sets ). But yes, all the other specs you mentioned probably will be good additions as well, especially the one with Max I’m going to test out for sure! How about now? I’ll switch if you don’t mind and I’m happy to play another one, I just have to warn you about a very busy long weekend being in front of me, not sure how much codex I’ll be able to squeeze in…

Okay then, maybe how we fight her is we get dinosized and flood the board. Give ourselves as much chances for attackers to mess her up as possible. Without Feral Strike I easily outclass at tech 2.
No free levels, if you want cala maxband you’ll have to pay heavy for it. I think I’d rather try to stack next cycle anyway. We’ll see if I have a suicide Dinosize opportunity next turn, doesn’t seem likely but we’ll see

this sucks. having to expect birds for sure and I have no defense against them… on the other hand going down on cards that hard means I’m more likely to draw my 4 allstar cards at the right pace… let’s go for it!
I do see the reasoning behind not patrolling with Arg, but given what this single Hyperion can do, it was a heavy surprise for me that you preferred it this way… Well, I’ll take it!
