@charnel_mouse’s turn!
P1T6
Starting hand: 3
Young Treant
Potent Basilisk
Verdant Tree
Thoughts
This turn is a pain. I’d like to quickly get past that Shimmer Ray, but I’d have to lose both illusions. If I just sit with the Mirror Dragon in Squad Leader, my ground units won’t get much done. I could destroy the Tech II with the Lobber’s ability, but then I can’t make a Mirror to copy the Potent Basilisk. I think I just go for it, then.
Do I want to spend my last 2 gold on Jaina, or the Young Treant? The Young Treant allows for a smoother reshuffle, and thins my deck for it too. On the other hand, Jaina can help with next turn’s assault. On the gripping hand, Verdant Tree can heal my Fairie Dragon to survive the Tower. Let’s go with that.
What do I want the Faerie Dragon to destroy? Taking out the Rememberer is one less pain in the backside. On the other hand, destroying the Tech II also stops him bringing in another Tech II unit, so it’s nearly as good, and Dreamfire can’t play Tech IIs from his hand or bring in multiple heroes. It also dooms my Dragon to die to the Tower on its next attack, but c’est la vie.
I’m wondering whether to put some Fire spells in my deck. Eventually, Quince will get hit with Snapback, so I need to be ready. The dream is Jaina + Dreamscape, but that’s a way off yet. I’ll put in the other Mimic and an Ember Sparks for now.

GG! I was worried about a Snapback or another Shimmer Ray there. Up for another?
Yeah, I rerolled and got [Disease]/Present/Feral. I’ll post T1 in a bit. Are we playing with $1 Deteriorate?
Actually, I want to non-randomly try [Present]/Peace/Discipline. You’ll switch it up?
Sure, why not? My random deck is [Fire]/Ninjitsu/Present, all starters/specs I have very little experience with

Not a bad split, Mox now and Fargo next.
@charnel_mouse’s turn!
Have fun! Sorry for the delay: I’m not used to any of these specs, so I have to think through my options here.

Thoughts
I have no idea what my strategy is here. Purple/Peace is probably a safe bet for Dreamfire’s though. That suggests going for Firebirds, but that suffers against Young Lightning Dragon. I don’t have good anti-air in general, actually: I’d be relying on Fire spells or Sentry. Firehouse is another option, but it would need Hotter Fire, and Versatile Style makes that a little dodgy. It’s still OK against Cadets without that, though. Another option is getting invisibility up for Glorious Ninjas.
For now, I have the Bloodrage Ogre + Nautical Dog combination in hand, so I’ll use that. Nautical Dog goes in Technician in case of Nullcraft.

Proceeding with the plan.

Don’t worry about the delay. I was considering this codex for the upcoming tournament though, so I’d be happy to get as much practice on it as possible before the tourny starts.

I’m expecting Lobbers, so I’ll patrol Spartner in SQL to make the math awkward, even though I’d rather Oni got ganked.
@charnel_mouse’s turn!
@charnel_mouse I forgot to ask if we’re using the proposed nerf to Battle Suits (only applies to purple soldiers and mystics). I’m up for it if you are. Either way it won’t change my turn.
We started the game before that had been decided on, but we should be fine to switch to it, if you’d prefer.
