• Lawful Search

Spectral Aven (flying) attacks and slays Playful Panda, dealing 2 damage from the air.

Brave Knight bravely attacks your squad leader, destroying the Wisp through its armor with 3 attack. The Wisp deals 0 damage to Brave Knight.

Play Sirius Quince for 2g, then pay 2g more to bring him to level 3, midband. (2g)
Quince creates a second 0/1 Mirror Illusion when he arrives.

Quince pays 2g to make his first Mirror Illusion a reflection of Stalking Tiger. The Tiger is invisible, which seems like it means it would be hard to see in mirrors. However, Quince doesn’t anything (otherwise, he’d break his own mirrors), so it works out.

The “Stalking Tiger” Mirror Illusion attacks and trades with the real Stalking Tiger, which it can do because the Invisible tiger is patrolling in Technician, making it attackable. You draw a card.

Quince patrols in Squad Leader Building Inspector in Scavenger, and the fresh Mirror Illusion in Technician.

Discard 3, draw 3, shuffle 5, draw 2.

Getting sick sucks, understandable if playing card games isn’t your top priority right now. : )

(noting this in case it comes up later) Copying a unit copies its tech level, so Predator Tiger can still be attacked by a token that’s a copy of, say, a Predator Tiger. Quince has a thing for getting through the natural defenses of tigers for some reason.

By the way - can you include the number of cards in your deck and discard at end of turn?

Not sure how I went from Max band Cali on turn 2 to being this far behind…

[Persephone]

You might not be as behind as you think - Feral Strike puts units directly into play from your hand, which is different enough from playing them that they don’t go to Jail.

ok let’s replace tiger cub with a wisp and put a pranda into play

Your hand is unfortunately dependent on Calamandra. Let’s take care of that.

Eyes of the Chancellor (it has haste) to make Brave Knight invisible.
Brave Knight attacks Calamandra. He deals 3 damage, bringing her damage up to 6 total, killing her. She deals 5 damage to him, a fatal blow. However, his honorable death in combat earned him a resting place in my hand rather than the discard pile. (5 cards)
Onimaru gains two levels. (Now level 3.)

Hand at end of Turn : Ironbark Treant, Forest’s Favour, Blooming Ancient, Blooming Elm, Nature Reclaims

[Persephone]

This game is close - if you can find a way to destroy Jail, that puts you slightly ahead on board position, and your extra workers give you the edge on economy. (Might be a big if, tho.)

Building Inspector is still around - your first building this turn costs +1 gold, which would make the Tower cost 4. You can still afford everything if you skip your worker, but keep in mind you would then need to redraw the cards after the shuffle (b/c Ferocity would have been in the deck.)

(It looks like you accidentally made your techs visible; it doesn’t display properly if there’s anything on the line above the [details] block. Feel free to pick new ones if you are redoing the shuffle. [or at least say you are so I don’t /know/ you have those two.])

[Fenrir]

Right, that’s what I’ll do.

New Hand :

Ironbark Treant, Forest’s Favour, Blooming Ancient, Blooming Elm, Nature Reclaims

No worker. New techs. Otherwise same turn.

When/if I destroy jail whatever is in there will go to discard. I’m not hugely optimistic about taking control of the board via that method.
