Looks like I slipped up and converted an extra card into a worker last turn; I’ll rollback and redraw. Any changes to your turn as a result? Edit: I accidentally put the dead Mad Man into the workers column instead of the discard.

6

Nope, though I should have noticed you had 4 and 4 cards and 7 workers when you shoulda had 4 and 5 and 6 workers.

8

Imp means you had 4 cards to start, played 2 and worker, means discard 1 draw 3.

9

Ah, right, I wondered what happened to that one.

Hmm, really tempting to eat away at his hand even more… I could make a drakk play, kill the firebat, kill jaina (with hasty from drakk) But really, the tech up and force him to attack my buildings seems good, I can always thing about the drakk play next turn with a skeleton. Or max Garth for funsies.

GG WP. Your hand destruction strategy worked pretty well, as I ended up missing out on any chance to play Tech II cards. In retrospect, I probably should have been more defensive while waiting for a chance to deploy them… also I don’t think Bloodburn was a worthwhile investment, but maybe it would have worked out better for me if the game had lasted longer. Up for a game 2?

19

I was surprised you didnt use your bloodburn the turn after it was played. I had visions of you managing to break my tech 2 with ranged destruction, or just pinging my base down.

Sure, let’s see how much damage you do with more gold :slight_smile:
