I’m down to continue, if you are! Would you like to switch up our decks or keep on with the same?

GG WP. I’ve thought up another deck I’m itching to try ([Feral]/Anarchy/Future) and would like to switch to that. I don’t mind if you want to try something else or stick with the demolition deck.

Nekoatl’s deck appears to me to have a lot of options against my Garrison plan via both Detonate AND Assimilate so maybe I should opt for a weird, Bashing Tech II plan.

@Nekoatl’s turn!

Do I dare attempt to patrol a Favored Calamandra here? He’d need to spend 3 cards and at least $5 to kill her in SQL, effectively $3 after deducting free level-ups, whereas factoring in the free levels, I’d be spending $4 and 1 card. That’s technically a swing in my favor, and even if Cal dies, I’d have the opportunity to follow-up with Zane if appropriate. Okay, I’ll give it a shot.

Hmm… to Rich Earth, or not to Rich Earth? … Looks like I can’t afford it, so into the worker pile it goes. I predict he’ll want to kill Calamandra, so I either skip building investment to recruit a Treant, or I let him take the kill and plan to switch to a different hero, perhaps Zane with Detonate. Although, Detonate might be better spent trashing Garrisons… unless I can reduce his worker count and prevent the construction of his Tech II entirely. To pull that off, I would need to draw at least one Detonate next turn… 2 cards out of 10, 5 draws… odds are… just over 3/4 that I’ll draw at least one Detonate next turn if I tech in 2 now, and even if I whiff, I’ll be guaranteed to draw both on the following turn, potentially just in time to trash a freshly played Garrison. Even if he doesn’t take the Cal kill, I can probably attack into something to clear her from the board and make room for Zane. Seems like a fairly solid approach. Guess I should build a Tech I as a red herring.

Just as planned, muahahahaha! Now I’ll aim to follow-up with Marauders to further the worker destruction! … But I shouldn’t have built that Tech I, as now I can’t afford to trash his worker and buy one for myself without exposing Zane to death by Wither. Looks like I’m going with plan B and using Detonate on Garrisons. Hindsight, 20/20.

Zane has attacked twice so it appears that there were two lines you considered and fused. :sweat_smile:

Bashing, eh? Interesting… maybe he wants the Sneaky Pig to destroy the Verdant Tree? I feel like I should be more worried about Eggships, though… if he just wanted flying units, Firebirds would be more attractive, right…? I mean, he’s even using Fire spells already, so why would he pick Bashing over Fire…? Gotta be PIgs, Reapers, and/or Ducks. I guess I should aim to keep him from hitting 10 workers… that’ll not only hold off the mighty Ducks, but also make it harder to maintain a streamlined deck, as he won’t have the option to avoid teching cards, meaning damaging spells should appear less often. I guess I should go for Gunships, if I can find a way to work them in (not holding my breath), they’ll be extremely useful for keeping his units off the board. Teching them in early so I can try to keep my cycle short.

I want to play a boosted Marauder and a Pirate Gunship next turn, meaning I need to float… $0. I think I can manage that. I won’t be able to afford a worker, but I might not draw a card I want to turn into a worker, and in any case, leaving a card in my hand to draw an extra card is not a bad thing.
