Edit: forgot about tower, thanks @Dreamfire for pointing it out

Post draw: No discord, I’m dead!

123

Elemental should die due to tower, unless I’m missing something. Arg and both Fencers should also have taken 1 extra damage.

You appear to have gone into debt for an attack that shouldn’t have cost you anything…?

125

Right again, so float 1

126

Not float 2?

127

I was too quick with my float 1 reply. The second fencer comes from hand, so the sum is right just the sequencing not as i have to attack with SotP first to get the gold so that I’m able to afford that second fencer

Okay, time to go fishing. Nice, nothing in hand for Fencer to haste, even after technician draw. Then, I’ll just snipe the gold generator. He can buff his fencer before attacking with it using the Ancient, but that’ll still only kill one patroler, so I’ll just put a Skeleton front and center.

131

Yay, I can kill the scavenger and one horror… I’ll fold here. My tech choices were just plain bad and my only hope was you not having preteched versatile style, as normally no one is stupid enough to try MoLaC against the right removal, but here my mind games went just wrong.
Care for one last round before the tourney starts? You can again go as p1

132

Well, I also wanted Versatile Style to repair the self-inflicted base damage from Lich’s Bargain. Insurance against Might of Leaf and Claw was just extra incentive to work it into my cycle before the reshuffle.

Mrgh, Setsuki. I’ll gamble that he doesn’t have enough resources in hand to chew through an armored Imp and maxband Sets to break the Graveyard. However… even so, he will have enough to maxband her and let her swiftly strike down the Imp. In which case, I should follow-up with Doom Grasp.

Oho, Setsuki didn’t maxband. I thought I was in trouble when I whiffed both Doom Grasps. I am worried about Fencers now, though… Guess I’ll try pumping out more Skeletons. Hmm… I wonder how far I can get without teching up…?

Even if I hadn’t taken that kill, the Messenger could have done the 1 damage with an attack, and without spending the $1 and a card required to play Spark. Might have been better to not kill the Tenderfoot, though.
