yes, your draws tbh sucked.ES is not good, hits only patrollers/buildings, so if he does not patrol or atk with them it’s useless. best anti bird is taxman. tower not so much cuz safe attacking. yeah, save zane for when he can do dmg. Also always remember taht midrook can bypass single patrollers, so if you cannot put up a decent patrol, do not backline heroes, you are only gifting him free lvls.
Yeah, I mean Rook is kind-of a bully. The game I came close to winning he was being aggressive with Rook, but this game he only attacked with him a couple times then just used him as a giant wall until EQ came online. Maybe Calypso would help? She was really good G1. The bad draws are definitely not helping things!
You don’t need to switch things up! I think it’s a good match-up - I am just not playing that well. I’d like to try again as P1. I think switching between P1 and P2 makes learning even harder because it adjusts so much of the early game. If you want to switch, it’s all good, but don’t switch for me 
I’m up for whatever, just enjoying the games. Go ahead with turn one.
And in game one you totally surprised me with calypso, it’s a card I never seem to be able to capitalize on myself

Let’s make sure if he takes out Grave that I get a gold. I’m betting he will, but not sure there’s a better play. Setsuki would be in the same boat, as would rook even. Charge + bro makes for an easy 4 dmg. Let’s hope he either doesn’t have what he needs or that I can just snapback drakk t3 if need be

Stretching this turn and hoping it pays off. With Grave at 1 health though I can’t attack really unless it’s a building. Still think it’s worth what I did

Dang, wiped my whole board. Would have liked to drop inverse power ninja but it might actually be all that effective. Better to distract with Boulder I think and tech 2. Hopefully he can’t sideline Boulder with calypso, or kidnap or something else to remove him from patrol

It felt good to win, but your draws seemed like they lined up pretty poorly (or maybe mine just lined up really nicely!). Max-band Drakk is pretty gross 
My draws would have been better if I hadn’t made the bad call on the turn I tech 2ed, but it proved to be an especially bad call because I didn’t draw tech 2 after doing so.
Still though you finally got the aggressive red down which you needed. Wanna go again and keep same player order?

Sure, let’s keep it going! I will probably keep trying stuff (and keep losing), but I think I’m getting better. Still need to work on my teching (I think I’ve played 1 tech II unit in all these games?).

I don’t feel confident playing a hero early in this match-up. Rook can stonewall most of my guys and set up kills. Rather have the gold and spend it on my terms.
I dunno, I think we will even out here in the next few matches.
