Hmm, seemed like a risky play – with tech draw gave me a 3/4 chance of Deteriorate in hand for the hero kill. Had good luck to draw both Tech1s too.

Oops – realized that I paid for a worker last move but didn’t move the card to the worker column in the spreadsheet. So my economy should read 7 Workers + 1 Gold (rather than 6 Workers + 1 Gold) and Hand/Deck should be 4/6 (rather than 5/5). I can redo my shuffle to the reflect this, but wanted to check if this will change how you play your turn.

All’s good, play on!

Growth not so scary to face when he doesn’t have a readily available flier to receive Ancient runes. Still, have to watch for stealth from Hidden Ninja, or tech lab into Ninjutsu. Teching Nether Drain (to handle maxband Sets) and a second Tiny Basilisk (to stop a unit stacked with runes).

Ancient still has a +1/+1 rune on it, so deteriorate wouldn’t kill it. Gg anyways, can’t take on your army

13

GG. I had too good a draw T3, both Tech1s as well as Deteriorate on the tech draw for the hero kill. Guess the Garth Mirror favoured me somewhat with the in-colour starter spells.

On for another if you are.

Sure, I’ll P1 this time

Not wild about going down to 3 cards, but Graveyard gives me a slim deck and Garth/Graveyard give ways to play units without using hand. Teching Nether Drain against his hero intentions (main concern is max Sets -> FDS). Will try Anarchy this time, teching Disguised Monkey ($4 for 6 hasty/stealthy damage with Graveyard), maybe Gunship rush if he doesn’t pressure quickly.
