For anyone who might not be reading the Table Talk thread for this game but is following this thread, read this for an explanation of why my turns will be slower for a while – and why I’m willing to let someone else take my place in this game. Just let me know if you’re interested and I’ll give you access to my spreadsheet for this game.

Thoughts
Staying focused on keeping my board at a decent size and getting bounties (even if it’s just free levels). Ninjutsu seems like the path least reliant on a combo other people could screw up, so I’ll go with that. I think I may want to get a Vortoss Emblem down the line to make it harder to target my things, but maybe Fox’s Den School would be better? Also going to have to keep an eye on enemy heroes to see if grabbing Origin Story might be necessary… But I think my plan for victory might end up being Fox’s Den Students combined with the School to make more of my units count as ninjas (and thus get haste from Students and invisibility from the school). Maybe Students is a bit redundant, though… Perhaps if I get School set up, Jade Fox would be good? Swift strike + flying + invisible all added to a Porcupine sounds hilarious, though I’d have to be careful to keep some blockers around or only drop Jade Fox when the shift to flying would actually win the game. Also, who knows if they’d even let me keep a Tech III up that long anyway?
@zhavier’s turn!
