I do not see a way forward for me, especially if you have the Ebbflow Archon so let us begin again. How favored is Blue in this matchup because it feels nearly unwinnable to me. On the other hand, that’s how I feel about all matchups I play.

Time to put another loss on the belt.
@thehug0naut’s turn!
Purple is hard to deal with for sure, especially with Present being such a powerful Tech II that only needs 1-2 cards (and Geiger) make it work. The main thing Purple is really good at is tempo, as you’ve seen I can de-invest in a turn if you lack aggressive pieces and surge extremely hard when I get the right set up.
If it’s helpful I can highlight where I think you’ve done a good job countering my play. You prevented Battle Suits really well in at least one game, used Building Inspector to delay or disrupt me teching up several times and creatively used Dreamscape to neuter time rune shenanigans. These are all great moves.
On the down side I guess your patrolling sometimes is a little weak, particularly with where you place heroes. I’ve thought in a few games that I could only get to your backline because you were trying to keep your hero alive. I’ve also not really had to think about teching Origin Story, which probably tells me you’ve not been using Oni enough as a beat stick.
GLHF for this one!

A truly terrible split, but at least Vir gives me a way to push Forgotten Fighter into my second hand so I can bounce Newsman (if patrolled). Best I get Tech I up before he taxes me.

Thanks for the input. It does illuminate the gap between us even more. I don’t really know how to use this information so I’ll just try summoning Onimaru and see how it goes.

I have just once again realised that FF and Battlesuits both cost 2g so that was a fairly wasted gold/swap. I guess it lets me worker FF and keep my good cards in circulation so that’s the silver lining. This turn is all about shoring up my board position and setting up for Battlesuits and my transition to Tech II

I wanted to build a Jail but I couldn’t get around to it without forgoing a worker so, in a poetic twist, I workered the Jail itself. Ought I kill the Stewardess? I think I’m going to do it and hope that Hugh doesn’t have a Nullcraft lying around.

Stewardess, reduce his board and tech up seems fine, even if I have to pay 1g extra
Edit: Removed spurious Fargonaut and redrew hand
Deleted in light of changes below.
@flagrantangles I have somehow goofed my hand, as I have fargonaut in it and on my board. 
Since you just lawful searched it you can even confirm my mistake!
Assuming I can figure out what went wrong, are you happy that I fix the mistake, redraw my hand and let you retake your turn?
That’s totally fine by me and somehow didn’t even cross my mind as a problem.

Now fixed @flagrantangles. It was a genuinely extra card in my discard so now everything is correct and I’ve redrawn. You can retake your turn now. If you lawful search you’ll probably not be very happy
