Choosing to sacrifice the Javelineer so I can worker it. I’ll gladly take this chance to preempt Bird’s Nest here. I am worried about leaving the Tree intact, especially against Blood, but I don’t see a way around it.

I reallly want to destroy that Tree and delay his Tech II… but to do so, I have to delay my own Tech II. But, I don’t have anything in cycle yet that requires a Tech II, so I think it’s worth it? In which case, I’ll be maxbanding, and should probably go for Garth’s ultimate.

Maybe I should go for Hyperions to increase my chances of having the right spells at the right times. They’re fetchable, though, so maybe delay teching them. More immediately, I’ll prepare to shuffle them out for other stuff. I’ll try to keep his unit could low, 'cuz Drakk makes them extra-scary. Guess I’ll splurge for a Graveyard while I’m at it, since my average unit quality is increasing.

His deck truly does counter mine well. Now I have to decide which Hero to Doom Grasp. I really want to clear away Rook, but I think Drakk is the bigger threat. Upside is, despite losing board advantage, I’m gaining resource advantage. Guess I’ll tech in Immortals, since they’re not fetchable and since I could use some durable blockers.

Thoughts

Did not want to draw both Immortals on the same turn… and here’s hoping he didn’t draw Earthquake. Patrolling Immortal as SQL in part to ensure it doesn’t take Overpower damage instead of direct attacks, and in part because I want Rook to hit it and be left with 1 health for Nether Drain. Considred skipping a worker to build a Tech III, but that wouldn’t really help me, and would leave my buildings more exposed to attacks. Also just realized that Immortals are excellent choices for Quince’s maxband, as the Illusions would be quite robust, with Quince unfortunately as the weak link.

Sigh… no help for it, then, just gotta patiently rebuild. At least he didn’t put the Treant in SQL, I’d have been in real trouble if he had. Guess I’ll build a Tower to hopefully clean up the leftover Birds, though they’ll still be able to hit my buildings, which means one more Earthquake is probably enough to bury me.

57

Rook’s in lookout so the drain and DG are taxed 1 each, but you have the float so I’ll assume you’re good with that

Hmm perhaps a bit of an invalid game there, I seem to have lost track of Spore Shambler; not even sure where I started operating on a falsely thinned deck

60

GG WP. Not sure how much of a difference the missing Shambler would have made, but I’m not gonna worry about it. It felt like by far the most balanced of the 3 games to me, though.

I’m out of viable ideas to make this matchup work from my end, so if you want to keep playing, I think one of us should switch decks. If you want to stick with yours, I could switch to an as-yet untested variant on Law/Past with [Law]/Past/Present.

61

I’m down to play smore, I’ll grab another one from the the “option 3” list: [Ninjitsu]/Anarchy/Future

rolled 35, or shall I just go first?

Thoughts

Haha, seems like every matchup I have with this deck is either facing Balance or Future, makes it very hard to take advantage of buildings/upgrades/ongoings. Ninjas have easy access to flying and stealth, too, as well as haste. Well, at least with this one, I don’t have to worry about overpowered Birds, so maybe I’ll have time to set up some counterplay.
