GG! Was expecting to be facing Ancients or Hyperions/Tricycloids after your solid opening board position. The Garguam plan with green spells was a surprise, but I ended up feeling I could handle the Tech3 game OK.
On for another one? I’m travelling the next few days, so may be a bit intermittent in posting.
Yeah, I’m down. I’ll try to get a turn up sometime today. (:

What a truly terrible split. All of my good cards in the first hand. Nullcraft is strong against Deteriorate, but easily sac’d by StW, and provides no defense against Zane. Fargo dies easily to StW or Zane+Det. Mox is solid, but putting out only 1 damage on T1 ad P1, with no prospect of boosting it next turn with BS, sounds pretty weak, too.
So my plan is to skip T1 for a while, play an expensive bounce with FF, and get a max Vandy by T2 by killing his hero, then see where we can go from there.

That was exactly the first turn I was hoping for. If he had put Garth in SQL, this wouldn’t have worked as well; I would have saved $1, but left Skele on the board. He can respond with a trade from max Zane + Haunt, but that’s probably not favorable for him. I’m teching Now! in case he trades, and Meta in case he doesn’t, forcing the Tower.

I know that by doing this I’m basically guaranteeing my loss, but I’m having fun.
After the draw… three different spec’d spells and no Tech I unit. A little sad.

Okay, uncle!
It’s fun sometimes to try solo-Vandy, but it never ends well. (:
Good game!
GG! Think your deck would play better with Black starter (esp. as player 1). In this game, Deteriorate could have done for free what Forgotten Fighter did for $3 on your T2.
Yeah; but the deck was built to play Arg cards: Argagarg Garg, Fading Argo, Argo, Gargoyle. Cutting Fading Argo cuts a quarter of my Arg factor!
On for one more, with the same or different deck?
Sure. I’ll be trying out [Growth]/Law/Strength, if that’s okay. (:
If you want to re-roll, I got a 68.
I rolled 52, so over to you.
