I was expecting you to crush me with Might of Leaf and Claw, but Stampede works just as well! I think you should actually have done more than 20 base damage there, because it looks like you didn’t give Panda and Galina the +3 attack bonus. GG WP!
Oh whoops. Good call. I was just fixated on doing the frog combat math and knew that the leftover was lethal.
Alas, Might of Leaf and Claw was the single card still in my deck.
Happy to play another round if you’d like? Maybe I’ll try out Mono-Purple, unless you had a specific matchup you wanted to try out.
Sure, I’ll switch to Blue because neither of us had played it yet. GL HF!

Setting up for an Aven/MTruth combo, SQL armor should protect Inspector from Nullcraft. I’ll need to watch out for Stewardess retaliation, maybe early Flagbearers as a countermeasure. Also need to be sure not to patrol the Aven anywhere but Elite, 'cuz FF. EDIT: No, Flagbearers won’t work against Stewardesses, because they’re not tech 0 units. Maybe I should just patrol it as Lookout when Tech I units are available, or else maybe go with a non-Aven related plan. We’ll see how things progress.
Sounds good! GLHF!

Missed the draw on Aven, not really worth the $1 to dig for it. Don’t think I can keep the Building Inspector alive either, so it’s worth using it to make a trade. Arrest seems more useful than average against units with Fading, so I’ll go for the hero kill. Using Newsman as protection against Battle Suits primarily, but it also blocks several other cards I’d prefer to avoid… and it’s a good option for Aven shifting next turn. Going for tech I units despite not being able to afford a tech building because I can stash one if I draw it early and because Bigby’s spells aren’t gold efficient enough to be viable so early. As for which… Purple has a fair amount of return-to-hand mechanics so either arrives bonuses or extreme gold efficiency is probably best. I think I need gold more than cards ATM, so Cadets it is. Bonus that delaying my Tech I gives the false impression that I’m going for Law spells, particularly Injunction.

Wow, Arrest is nice against fading units. Bigsby’s tap ability means that I need a hero to patrol with. I’ll run out Vir for the stats and tech some reasonably safe stewardesses. Also, I definitely regret teching battlesuits. It cut me off of a surprising amount of lines.

This is a bit more awkward than last turn, but now I have the option of downing his Tech II, and considering how troublesome Future fliers can be, I think it’s worth paying the $2 for. I’m no longer feeling confident enough to delay Injunction, however.
Do your units have a source of Resist 1 that I am missing? If, so I’ll scrap the Heroes Hall in favor of expensively targeting Spectral Aven and floating 1 gold.

Ouch, Arrest was a really strong draw for them last turn. We have to assume they know exactly what we are up to this point. Hopefully drawing a Now! would make it such that they just don’t have the necessary time to react. Best to keep starving them of cards and advance obliquely with a Heroes Hall.

No, I just sometimes forget to remove the resist when I move them out of Lookout because it doesn’t fit in the spreadsheet cells. It’s a bad habit.

Wow! Two garrisons. Thank god I went for the cheeky Assimilate. I admittedly got very lucky here. The only threats to me are Injunction and Judgment Day and hypothetical tech 3 antics. As long as I starve em of cards and keep Bigby off the boards, I should be in the clear. It’d be great to get another threat in play so I could close the game out though.
Edit: clarified what xenostalker got up to…
