Thanks, good to know. In an earlier game I wrongly thought I could boost an Executioner summoned by Garth.

Double crashbarrow was unexpected given his hand size, but my KotC should protect my tech 1 this turn, the mech from vir and my tech one flood should do the same for my tech 2, and then we are rolling. Max drak into land octopus/recuiter then I probs have a problem. Thankfully max drak wonā€™t give haste to a unit Garth pulls from discard.

Get to finish with Kidnapping ā€“ though one of the Crashbarrows or the Octopus would also have been enough for lethal.

Well played, I agree with your thoughts, if you canā€™t keep your hero casting temporal research alive (normally prynn for those extra time rune), the tempo donation in terms of levels easily outmatch the value I get from my forecast units. And if you can keep a hero alive with the tempo loss of forecast, then you were so far ahead it didnā€™t matter what you did as long as you did something.
EDIT: @petE Change of mind going over to Demonology, Balance, Anarchy.

Looks like a tricky matchup. Tiny Basilisks mean my Bone Collectors wonā€™t hang around as they have been in these games so far. And Balance is a strong Tech2, he can haste Mimics with Zane, and use Potent Basilisk untargetability as Kidnap protection. Then Momentā€™s Peace for lockdown while building Tech3.

I could get rid of Vandy by Snapback->Zane;Grave kills Zane, or Grave->max;use sword. But Vandyā€™s resist means Iā€™d have to skip Tech1, and then need lucky draws to stop levelled-up Grave going down to a Basilisk. So bringing out Monk and Smoker instead to protect Grave. Doesnā€™t feel good going down a card early against black starter ā€“ but if Iā€™m Imped down to 3 cards can use next turn to max Grave.

Usual problem against Vandy/black starter, real struggle if Deteriorate and STW are coming up when needed. Think my best bet is to max Grave and kill Vandy with the sword, though this may quickly leave Grave vulnerable to a Tiny Basilisk. At least heā€™s down to 3 cards (2 drawn from the new 7-card cycle), so Iā€™ll use Grappling Hook when killing Javelineer to deny a tech draw, improve the odds he misses Basilisk in T3 hand.

Playing Blood expect Iā€™ll continue to be pressured for cards, and also need some non-ephemeral bodies to back up Crashbarrows. So teching Martial Mastery for cycling and card-efficient Rambasa Twins.

If he goes Balance Iā€™ll need an answer to fliers at some point. Iā€™ve Fox Primus for anti-air, maybe build Tech Lab Discipline for YLDs?
