He can go around the Gigadon but that doesn’t solve his main problem: the Gigadon. Especially as another Gigadon is on the way. Killing Calamandra and the tiger takes priority, then riding the economic power of Galina Glimmers to victory.
I’ll resign it here, GG WP. I thought the Green starter spells would work well with Gargoyles, but it seems more important to use Black starter spells and Vandy to clear the board. Especially Sacrifice the Weak, since it skips Gargoyles. Thanks!
Looks like I’m unexpectedly not going to be busy with either the tourney or balance testing for the next few days. Did you still want to play? I kind of want to try [Present/Future]/Peace.

Jail, eh? Interesting. That’ll set my non-forecasted units back a turn, but it also delays his deployment by $3, so I’m not too worried about it. I don’t know if it’s a good idea, but I’m trying to deploy Argonauts with the intention of using Temporal Distortion to bring in other tech I units later.

Early Plasmodium is denied. Well, denied unless he’s willing to spend 5 gold and 2 cards to get it to jail but not actually attack with it. Mwa ha ha.

Looks like I’m being baited into casting an expensive Forgotten Fighter on the Newsman to allow me to cast Time Spiral and use Plasmodium to kill Bigby. Otherwise, the Newsman could simply not patrol and I wouldn’t have the option, but that would require skipping a worker, so I’d rather just be patient. It’s not like Bigby can hurt me through the Mox anyway, unless he wants to invest in Arrest, and if he does, so what? It just occurred to me that I can steal his Jail. Since I’m going with Vir anyway, I’ll ensure that I can worker a card I want to next turn.

Tempting to use Assimilate now, but to land the Bigby kill and do that, I’d have to skip a worker. Jail is less important than a worker. Going big with Double Time!
Forecasted units don’t go to Jail. There’s a note about it on the codexcarddb page for Jail. They do count as played at the time they’re played, and they do count as arriving when they arrive, but since those 2 things don’t happen at the same time, and Jail’s effect requires units to be both played from hand and to arrive, Jail’s ability doesn’t trigger for them. (Though even if the Plasmodium had gone to Jail, I would have just played another unit instead of the Battle Suits so he could attack this turn.)
