My Thoughts
I’ll try thinking Moby’s way and see if it helps. Not really a great scav / techn tempo keeper with this hand though
I still don’t think this matchup is as lopsided as it probably felt from our first two games. There are so many lines of play where you will smash my deck, if only your draws don’t align as bad as they did in our first game, but let’s see…

Thoughts
obviously I have to expect Bogre next turn. I’m also getting a dog + mm trade SL and midband Rook killing backline cal, but there’s probably not much I can do about that threat.
Now let’s try something sneaky in the hope of forcing him into tower while at the same time hoping he doesn’t build the tower 
Either way I hope to be able to make him pay for the decision to either have less board or for the decision to not have the tower
Added thoughts
What a no go - casual or not - I completely ignored the possibility of him having both mm and MSR… Worst move ever to attack with cal
Wow risky, wish I had Mad Man here and could take an early maxband Rook to the bank. Alas not how the split worked out

My Thoughts
Mad Man would mean I could kill Cala here, which would be awesome, but instead I’ll probably lose rook to Cala stealth next turn. Hopefully I can make that costly w/ a good drop here though.
Not only risky but dumb! Also it really hurts not being able to bloom-kill Bogre+midband heal Cal right now. Dumbest move ever to attack with her last turn!
About that mad man+dog killing SL and midband Rook walking past my patrol: yes I was really afraid of that but I didn’t see a line where I can keep Cal safe for sure while not skipping tech 1… Please feel free to look at my split (by looking at next hand turn 1 so that you don’t see my tech choices) and tell me what you would have done! Midbanding her behind messenger SL felt really weak against a deck where I have to put up pressure as just sitting and waiting will surely get me wrecked at tech 2.
Edit: Also midband Rook plus MM still would get the kill if I don’t play another unit…

damn! btf looks stupid in the face of so much attack on the board. fencer would have allowed the board wipe with fencer and tenderfoot surviving. and also damn me for attacking last turn. bloomed cal killing Bogre + midband heal would have been so nice…
Post draw: BUMMER! I would have loved to have that starlet along with hyperion in t5, as building tech 2 is most likely a must next turn.
