I could let Zane live but then I have to worry about sharks and other bullshit so I think we have to kill him. It leaves me with no patrollers unless I want to shrink my hand even more but I do get a maxbanded Bigby out of it, which could let me repair my hand, provided he lives. Fire at least doesn’t have any hasted units at Tech II, though there is the Bamstamper Lizzo, which would have to target itself in this case. Hmmm, I think I’m sold on murdering Zane.
@thehug0naut’s turn!
I’m finally back with a turn! In the upside my PhD viva went well and I’m now a few weeks away from being Dr thehug0naut!

Can kill Bigby or break a Tech building, probably stopping Garrisons even landing is better than breaking Tech I. Plus is guarantees no Quince+ Free Speech next turn. Yeah let’s go with that. Doubling Down on hasty damage

Board clear + break Tech II is a good turn for me
My draws weren’t good enough and I’m dead in the water. I feel like I’m remarkably good at losing ANY matchup as Blue. 
It has been a pretty bad run for you flangles!
Would it help to play a bunch of back to back P1 or P2 games, in case it helps you tweak your play?
Or I could swap to a different colour if you prefer?
I don’t mind one way or another. I think I thought that playing more I would gradually get better but it appears that I was wrong about that. I think Codex is just a game that I’m not likely to progress in, which I’m okay with. So, to that end, play what you’d like and I’ll do the same! I’m fine with continuing to alternate.

No worries at all, as long as you’re happy then I’m fine to keep playing.
I think the main thing I developed that helped me improve was a good sense of the opponent’s range of possible moves, though that does leave me open to being overly paranoid about fringe possibilities. I dare say that for colours like Blue and Green where you have limited counter play it probably helps to be a touch paranoid!
I’ll switch to mono purple now for a few games.
