Just scanning through, on T6, it looks like you gave Grave 2 levels for ākillingā Rook (healing him and giving him a crumbling rune). Iām pretty sure you only get the hero levels when Rook dies for real.
[details=AdviceForFutureIfInterested]
On T2, you attacked with Oni, then midbanded him. If you had midbanded him first, he wouldnāt have gotten the heal, but you would have been able to patrol him in Scav or Technician just in case, to get some added value.

@ARMed_PIrate I think Grave got 2 levels when Onimaru sacrificed himself to ākillā Rook.
Good game! I rolled an 8 for the next one.
As for the advice, Iām awful at Codex and itās severely unlikely that Iāll ever be better than the ābarely rules legalā Iām at now. I just enjoy playing. However, I did consider what you wrote, I just decided against it. OOPS. 
Iām pretty awful, too. Iām just trying to learn what I can from reading over. My advice is to point out possibilities, but I canāt make any guarantee itās the better play. (;
@NikoBolas
Hah! Youāre so right. I totally forgot that Grave was on your side, not flagrantanglesā side, seeing as how he is mono-blue.

Well if I could offer some advice (I also think Iām quite the beginner at this game!) - I think you have to slow down on building Tech II. You often build it āon timeā (when you first get 8 workers), but if Iām building an army and youāre building Tech II, then it will take some fancy spells for you to stop my army in the future. An early Tower is often better than a Tech II building against an aggressive opponent. You can definitely win games just on tech I, though of course whoever can land more Tech IIās tends to pull ahead in the mid-game.
Mono-Blue is also a tough one because I think a lot of the cards get better the more familiar you are with your opponents cards and playstyle. Particularly against Mono-White, there arenāt a lot of great answers to heroes (Purple, Black, and White all have direct answers, while Red has haste/burn and Green has pump spells). Blue has great spells on its heroes and Iāve been very nervous about a Judgement Day from Bigby as well as Free Speech from Quince. Jail also really puts up a roadblock for White (particularly good when you have a tower!). Blue does have one of the weakest starter decks though, and your units are often not as good as other colors.
Also sometimes I take a big risk by going down on cards or skipping a worker to get an advantage on board. These plays are tough because they feel like Iām getting way ahead, but Iām putting a timer on the game and my ability to win it. I often try to win early because I donāt like my odds of winning late!

I believe the Fox Primus with Anti-Air would kill the Manufactured Aven as he flew over the Patrol Zone, so he should be in your discard.
