Using Grappling Hook to get the Hero kill with Grave. Teching IPNs rather than Twins so I’ll have the $$ to play the unit + max Grave next turn, also compete well against solid Purple Tech 1s. Will want to use Grave’s sword early in case of Origin Story.

Would rather hit something more valuable than Nullcraft with Grave’s Sword, but leaving him maxed with Sword is too good an Origin Story target.
Teching YLD for Discipline Tech 2 and Martial Mastery for some cycling. If I concentrate on small numbers of high value units, my 2 IPNs should give good value throughout.

He pretty much had to use his sword, but at least it wasn’t a high priority target. Similarly I had to use Origin Story. Grabbing the usual Tech II Present to be ready. Blah.

Teching Mind Parry Monk – protect against Origin Story if I level Heroes, also stop Tricycloid runes if he goes Present. Playing Rook (and teching Entangling Vines) – if my Smoker hangs around another turn to ping his Tech 2 then Earthquake becomes an ongoing threat.

I love this interaction. Stewardess arrives and tries to bounce Smoker back to hand, but he sees that he’s being targeted and says, “Aha! That unit is targeting me! I’ll go back to hand before she can do anything!”
Then Stewardess looks at the puff of smoke he left behind and says, “Well, okay then.”

OK, so I think things are sort of under control now. BUT…the MPM more or less shuts down Prynn, I lose Origin Story and Tricycloid shots. With some luck I’ll get my Hyperion in hand next turn, and that should allow me to break through. I definitely need a Now!

Skipping a worker to set up a max Rook in patrol, YLD in the air, with Mind Parry Monk behind patrol preventing Origin Story/Undo. Hopefully holds long enough for Earthquake draw.
I’m making stupid mechanical mistakes because I’ve got too much going on IRL to concentrate. Sorry for the inconvenience, I think it’s best that I concede this one and take a few days away until things calm down. Figure I was pretty much in a death spiral anyway, that MPM was likely to shut down any easy way of dealing with ol’ Rookieboy.
