The most dreaded of Blue Opening, P1T1 Aven… Have I mentioned I really dislike that card yet? so Either Plasmo or mox in response to not bleed out cards, with Fargo + suits next turn mox is decent, and if he wants to spend more on not deveoping the board with Newsman Plasmo can punish that nicely. I like Plasmo opening more and more these days, lets go there.

Plasmodium. Time to put some UNITS down. I’m getting the impression that Shadow doesn’t like Forgotten Fighter as a card. Building Inspector probably isn’t the best option, but I like bleeding him of gold. Furthermore, Nullcraft can’t kill it since he’s got ARMOR.

I wanted to put the Hound down but I think preventing his spells is better. Furthermore, this disguises what tech 1 units I’m actually selecting. Granted, I don’t know as that matters much. Since purple is generally expensive, I’m picking up a Tax Collector to try and steal any floats and a Spectral Flagbearer for any targeting stuff like PRYNN. It’s a little bit less useful against Tricycloid, but even so.

Okay, I was foolish and forgot the costs of spells but I think this is okay. I wonder if he teched both Stewardesses? If he did and has one in hand, then I think he can destroy my board. Let’s see, he can use the Plasmodium to cut through the Tax Collector unless he wants to suicide Vir and use the Mox. I don’t know why that would be particularly useful though. Presuming the Plasmodium kills the Tax Collector, he can use Vir to kill the Flagbearer and then pop out a Stewardess and destroy the Aven and then poke with the Mox. Hmmmmm, this isn’t great, but I do have an illusion and Macciatus in my next hand.
You’d need to reorder your turn in order to achieve what you did since the Spectral Flagbearer would cause the Stewardess to target it instead of the Aven, but since you could have simply hired it after my Patrol Zone was murdered, no big deal.
