I’ve a good draw for a Grave opening, with Aged Sensei in this hand and Sensei’s Advice in the next hand. On the other hand Rook bringing in Birds could be pretty annoying here from either player with no means of Bird removal before Tech2. On balance favouring Grave, since P2 will be able at best to get Birds in the air T3 and attacking T4, while P1 can respond with a Tech 2 flier (eg YLD) or removal (eg DeGrey) T5. Or Tower. For the midgame Discipline seems a good route in this mirror, for YLDs as well as high stat Monks to negate swift strike in Ninjutsu.

Teching in Mind Parry Monk in response to Heroes Hall, enough spells around (Reversal, Entangling Vines, Snapback, etc) for this to be useful. Also YLD, though this will be hampered if he brings out Birds. Heroes Hall instead of Tower hopefully allows me to get some favourable trades from the Twins.

I will concede here, I don’t see a way back from this. GG, well played. I am going to say my experiment failed, I took some risky moves that didn’t pay off.

petE · December 9, 2016, 2:57pm

GG, thanks. Wow, all spells ! I had pretty good luck with draws throughout the game. Building a Heroes Hall to make use of all your spells also took the place of a Tower to counter those White P1 combat tricks.

Im open to trying this mirror again

With no 1-drop to make a safe opening in scavenger, guess I’d hoped you wouldn’t have Grappling Hook in hand. “Hope CODEX”, not a great way to play…
