You came to australia and you didn’t visit me??
I had in my head you had moved @Bryce_The_Rice! Where abouts in Oz are you based?
I visited several places but I never moved. I’m way down south
Well, I think I only had a chance if my Tech II survived and, since it didn’t, I’ll concede. Here’s to another one!

I hate having to tank my efficiency with Primus but that MT Aven threat is strong. Making me rethink early Rook as P2. Grave would give me much more early aggro and defence.

I feel like Maxband Oni is all but guaranteed. At least I know I can keep Tech II up if I play a sacrificial hero. Hoping I can draw into Snapback or Reversal to remove Oni from the picture. Strength still seems best for me, though I will only have the one Tech II in deck if I want to have Reversal as an option.
This matchup seems to be strongly influenced by who goes first, for sure!

Ok not quite death yet but it’s getting pretty close! If I can keep him off Tech III I think this is basically inevitable. He might be playing for Dreamscape, so my Tech III might not be super secure, just need to see what he does.
Could have gone maxband Rook un-arrestable HP but 7 of that disappears if he has Free Speech. I have a better counter swing off of this and only 5HP is arrestable (for 3g as well)
I think I’ve warded off immediate defeat, but only for a moment.

Okay, the cards did NOT align, BUT I now have flying units that can take care of Oathkeeper, but it’s still ROUGH LOOKING. I need to lower his damage potential so that he can’t sideline and just kill me straight off. I think getting rid of the grapplers is the best option for that since they can target and take care of illusions if I lose Macciatus.

The Boulder can’t kill Macciatus because it can’t see him, due to Invisibility from Eyes of the Chancellor.
