Hmm, Fire has things that can be Assimilated as well… guess I’ll tech one copy in. As for the Brave Knight… killing it repeatedly is going to be a pain… guess it’s better to just remove it. Vortoss Emblem is looking increasingly tempting…

Vortoss Emblem is still looking rather tempting… but I want to pair it with something indestructible, or, failing that, something stubborn like Gilded Glaxx. More importantly, I need to be able to manipulate time runes. Hmm… I’m kind of on the fence about whether to play Battle Suits or hold it for extra card draw… but I guess I’ll play it, what with 2 forecasted units that can benefit from it.

Thoughts
I’m feeling pretty comfortable here. The Bloom on the firebird was pretty clutch.
Seems I should have put a higher priority on that Emblem/Glaxx combo. Only option to deal with the Firebird at the moment is Prynn. Main question now is, do I also trash the Doubleshot Archer, even though it’ll mean Prynn dies to fading next turn? If I don’t, there’s a chance she could be killed… but if I do, there’s a chance I won’t be able to defend. I guess I’ll go for it, Nullcraft will probably be an option next turn… not that I’m confident Nullcraft will survive… but trying to keep Prynn alive seems iffy as it is, and I don’t have a way to counteract base damage inflicted by the Archer’s triggered ability.
I really hope he doesn’t have a Dragon in hand… but seeing how telegraphed Prynn’s midband is, and given the timing of his Tech III choice, this looks really bad. Nothing to do about it, though.

I’ll fold to that, 2 Dragons are 2 much! Playing against your deck is really expanding my horizons; I’m coming up with some good ideas, but struggling to get them into place quickly enough. Very eager to keep going if you’re up for it!

I expect it to be a while before I get around to playing a tech II unit, so let’s give Mox a try! Even if it gets hit by Wither, I can use it as an Emblem target… wait, no, it loses attachments if it would die, so I should get the Emblem on a Glaxx before attempting to play Mox. But by the time I get that in place, will I even still want the Mox, or would I rather be able to play Tech II units? I think the latter, especially if I need air defense. Better just worker it normally, then.
