Onimaru and Traffic Director only have 4 damage, which leaves Rook at one (after armor).

Oh shanks! I completely forgot about armor. How foolish of me! I will update my turn in light of my mistake!

My turn has been updated!

No worries! It’s hard to remember everything when you can’t see the board.

Whew, Rook barely makes it through. It hurts to dump so much gold into him, but he should be a solid wall if he makes it to next turn. 1 gold gives him two lives. No Bird’s Nest in this hand, but Mario and Luigi will probably be coming out.

I think I’m doing ok? I haven’t seen any Tech I out of him yet, so it’s hard to know. If he ends up going Truth for Tech II I’ll have to grab Thunderclap, but in the meantime I think Earthquake and Birds should help me raze tech buildings.

Going down on cards again… not sure it’s the best move, but the plays felt good. I wanted to take out Quince because of his shenanigans.

I think Onimaru dies? Glorious Ninja has 5 attack from Elite, and I have a tower. Oni is a 5/6 with Elite training.

18

I completely overlooked that you had a tower. I apologize! I have corrected my turn accordingly.

19

Onimaru would die without killing the ninja, since he has swift strike. The ninja+tower dmg happens at the same time so 5 from ninja+1 from tower kill him before he can deal his dmg.

20

I don’t think that makes sense since it implies that the tower has Swift Strike and deals its combat damage before Onimaru when I believe it’s been noted that it does it at the same time as an attacker. Do you have a source for your interpretation?
