See above =) My problem in most games so far has been closing so I might as well give it a shot here, even in such a bad spot

22

Codex is just such a hard game.

Oh man, that was a GREAT hand for coming at me, you didnā€™t even have to give up a unit to kill Rook!

Like I said, very close game that I think you pretty easily win now, but I will heed my own advice and gut it out to see what I can make of this bad situation!

Too much board for him, GG XD
[/details]

27

Can I just post the series of actions I can win with rather than the whole post? My board is so tedious to type out now.

28

Yes absolutely, itā€™s customary for a ā€œwin gameā€ post to only have the gold-spending and attack steps necessary to finish. I am curious to see it, though as I said I was fairly certain you had it, but if itā€™s too much trouble to type out donā€™t sweat it, you earned a W and I already ā€œsoft-concededā€ :wink:

29

Tech 0 card(s)
Collect Gold + Float - (20)
Polymorph:Squirrel your Flagbearer - (17)
Play Giant Panda, it arrives with a wisp - (14)
Trigger Blooming Ancient twice (3 Runes) - (14)
Play Centaur - (11)
Triger Blooming Ancient (4 Runes) - (11)
Blooming Ancient (6/6, 4 +1 Runes) puts a Crumbling Rune on Rook - (11)
Move 3 runes to the already buffed Wisp, making it (6/5, 5 +1 Runes) - (11)
That Wisp takes out Rook, level Arg twice - (11)
Everything else that is available and non-flying attacks your base for what I believe is 14 dmg - (11)

30

Ah, I hate to be a party pooper but as I snuck in my turn posting, moving runes is not an option until you eliminate the Flagbearer :wink: still, you clearly have enough to do it

I teched horrendously to start this game off, and it continually bit me. My white player two is clearly rusty XD You played well, made good trades, and threatened tech 3 appropriately, though I do think a little more tech 2 units (and the basilisks in particular) are very important for you in this matchup against Rook! He is hard to deal with otherwise, with Greenā€™s lack of direct hero removal like Origin Story or Snapback, or means to keep him off two lives / earthquake like Free Speech or Nether Drain.

Happy to run it back or play another matchup again, fun game!

31

I removed it with a polymorph

32

Aha I missed that line! No abilities, well played XD

33

I am going to wait until I am a bit deeper in my other game before starting a second, the board gets so murky with this deck that itā€™s hard to swap between the two with my cards.

I had always planned to Circle of Life into the basilisks so didnā€™t want to tech them in, but each turn I would have done this I ended up finding a better line and just leaving the birds alone. Basilisk was definitely on my mind though
