Brave deck choice. I am curious if you found something for Troq or if he just will be a blocked colour like he was for me.
I will play mono red, which I think is pretty average. I don’t care who is starting.

No Ogre, no power.
With Present and Finesse he has chosen two of the stongest tech2 specs. He will probably go for Present, let’s see how Troq fits in.

mox and fargo kill bombaster, hire ocelot and fencer/hero, with bloodburn i dont think i can risk hero, will have to waste a fencer
battlesuits + ocelot, patrol mox and ocelot, kill bombaster
many patrol wipes but need a patrol of my own unfortunately
side note: this damn float
Man, you must be a very lucky guy! Turn 3 with 2xtech1 and nice reshuffle draws in all your games. Will be difficult…

Drakk is a monster. But with the reshuffle draw (fencer, starlet…?) I cannot keep him safe.
Yes, while i have been playing conservatively t1&2 in each game, in this game the double T3 draw is almost annoying since it feels like an unfair test and in the other game it felt almost mean since everything lined up quite so well😅 eh im sure my luck will run out just when i need it

if i kill drakk i leave my board open, tech 2 probably going down (which may be fine tbh)
if i defend im letting him get massive drakk value, and probably having my board wiped except tech 2, which i have nothing to do with
i don’t think i’d lose both tech buildings with an empty defence so might be better to get rid of drakk while i can. however, in not sure i could defend the _ next_ turn either looking at my deck so i think wall up and take the 20/42 chance of drawing tech 2
You are repylying much fast than me…

Drakk is alive, not bad. If he stays one more round passive, 1 hotter fire is enough with BB and Firebat to bring down tech2.
Wouldn’t have enough gold for that anyway, but no while Bashing is indeed here for the wide toolbox I figured atm an immortal is simply the better investment

i hope they haven’t put in a kidnapping yet…
would almost have been more fun to try Max shenanigans here; TD fencer to starlet, play fencer, trade into Drakk Max midbands, but i think getting the immortal down is more important (although with drakk maxband a lone firebird eats my tech building)

Immortal… Another firebird would have helped here, need to finish differently.
Yeah Bashing has played no part in this so far, and now I’ve committed to this strategy probably wont…
The fact it was a choice between playing Bashing and picking a better option speaks for itself, but it might still have a niche in another game

Yes, because every single card is too bad. You can use it, but it cannot compete with top decks.

I missed both MSR and mad man. MSR would have been excellent, and mm allow at least the max kill… He took an risky approach relying that I have no tech 0 units.
Need to hit Tric, that he cannot kill bird + TD
Mm i think that last turn was my one chance really, i don’t see myself surviving very long from here

Yep yep, that was fun though, GG and WP! But no, i forgot about the upgrade part of the boot stupidly, and besides im not sure it wouldve been that great…
Can we try one game with reversed play order still? Part of my thinking doing this deck is that Purple normally lacks a nice 2-cost tech 1 to build tech 2 building on turn 3
Mono purple can usually afford to float a gold to play a 3 drop
