Thoughts

Max Grave, or play Carrion Curse to knock out Martial Mastery + Verdant Tree?

Max Grave forces you to kill him or lose to TPoS. Martial Mastery will reveal my next most reasonable win condition, Gemscout Owl -> Circle of Life -> Wandering Mimic w/ +1/+1 rune for the win. If I draw it and you leave both Sparring Partner and my Tech I alone.

Let’s see this draw…

There’s one, but presumably I won’t have Tech II + Orpal to sacrifice Gorgon for another go, maybe I’ll get lucky on Technician draw… True Power of Storms, nope.

Good game! Looking forward to going back through and seeing your techs & thoughts.

This is the second game I’ve lost in a row to not realizing the significance of a Truth tech-lab until it was too late.

30

Yeah, Tech Labs seem relatively harmless, but if you see one, it probably means taking it out will throw a monkey wrench into your opponent’s plans. You had me sweating though!

31

wasn’t it discarded by carrion curse?

Young Treant drew the second copy.
