Thoughts
I don’t want to lose units to having my Graveyard Assimilated, so I’ll tech it straight away. I’m tempted to build a Tower to thwart that Nullcraft, but I think I would lose more units to trades if I did. However, I’ll hold off on playing the Javelineer because my profit-bearing patrol slots are full of Mercenaries.

Thoughts
Again, Panda seems like just feeding someone bounty, but I don’t see any better options: killing a merc with Ironbark is hardly gold-efficient, Merfolk is just as easy to kill as Wisp (and is asking for it), and I certainly don’t want to delay tech 1.
Well, I suppose sitting back during the early game isn’t too bad.
Bummer, no easy bounties to be found.
I could kill Orpal or Jaina for free levels, but I feel like that just lets the Purple players break ahead, and they’re the ones I’m worried about. So I’ll keep sitting back for now.
Rich Earth is at risk of Assimilation, but I’m guessing that taking each other’s Battlesuits is higher on their priority lists. Worst case scenario, I paid 2 gold to thin my deck and cost someone else 2/3 gold, so that’s not terrible.
I’m workering Verdant Tree over Forest’s Favor and Shambler because I might want the runes to offset Disease shenanigans later.
…
After the draw: drew BtF a turn early. I might play Bigby over GPT next turn to stash it.

I feel kind of bad about killing Jaina, especially since Bob can retaliate with a Blood tech 2 play. Hopefully at least some of my guys will survives for a BtF play next turn (with better targets than those available right now…).
