even with tech 2 blood, surely they have a feral strike coming this turn? their draws line up for it… i think i gotta tech for that or it’s GG if they do

I was kind of expecting this worker skip, but it’s still a mess. Those boosted barbarbaras together with the ultra cheap boulder are going to make this way more complicated than I was expecting when I thought about this turn before I actually got there. But well, worker skip, going down with cards, this should work in my favor
so another feral strike, but need to try to make sure drakk can’t also maxband, so unfortunately give them that card over the gold so even with a glider theyd be one short by my quick maths

that’s a nice board clear in front of me, I’ll definitely take that! I prefer my giga to be left quite alive over doing 4 extra damage to tech 2, hope I’m not regretting this soon
Crashbarrow and any other unit or another feral strike is double tech break - happy to call it if so!
I need to go look at games using this deck but definitely want another try

Yeah, I do have the CB and a huntress and I do see the line but I prefer the 73% chance of a tech 3 feral strike combined with a tech 2 break over the double tech break
If you want to stop here, I’m happy to go for another round, do you want to be P1 or P2? I’ll stay with this covered codex.

bahaha, cool stuff! even with technician and young treant draws i get neither of nether drain or doom grasp as the only things that could delay my demise even a turn, GG WP
while i fear it’ll only help the red starter, let’s reverse order - you go first and i’ll go read up how to drive this deck
Hehe, yeah, that lined up nicely. But facing that Barbarbara was way more scary than when I first thought about that option of yours. Those green starter buffs really do make a difference with this strategy compared to standard miracle growth. WP
Now let’s go for the next round, GL & HF

I just found out what i was basing this codex on (as well as personally thinking it looked fun)
Also, that’s probably the least scary start i can imagine from you - unlucky draw, edit nvm red starter != Zane, so i guess just madman + hero > brogre on it’s own, but still, it’s nice to see madman over dog

Lol, P2T3 and this game is already over unless I’m going to be extreeeemely lucky… But well, that does show again how devastating a bad opening split turns out to be if the opponent does not whiff somewhen early…

it’s a lost cause after this bad opening split this lucky draw of his was sufficiently devastating. Now the only question is: do I go for a technician drawn 2/7 feral strike or do I try the base race?

Bone Collectors trade with Cal, two skeles and two runes, garth to lvl 6, 4 dmg to my base
Garth kills bomber, you draw, 3 dmg
Maxband Garth, get mantis, heal 3, get rune - ($1)
Play merfolk prospector, get rune - ($0)
Move one rune to final skele from last turn, he trades bugblatter, i take 4 more dmg
move other runes to mantis
actually it turns out that indeed those two bugblatters were enough!
I have two General’s Hammer in hand and you missed out the four base damage from sacrrificing the two skels.
GG!
tbh: I wrote that statement without looking at my next hand. I was just completely conviced that you have a BA in hand and with Arg at the ready and any other unit to play you would have been able to clear my board with loosing maybe a single unit. In hindsight I do realize that even a split of the two Hammers still might have been enough as I still have Drakk, the second crash bomber, pillage and scorch for the base race. This game just felt unwinable after your double BCs in T3. I do tend to evaluate my own position in a more negative light than it actually is. Ask moby, he is the one who has to repeatedly drag me out of the holes that I’m putting myself into thought-wise again and again
phew, that was a close one, but a fun one! Are you up for another one?
after I juust started the next tournament round, I just wanted to mention, that I’m still open to continue this fun round, but obviously the tournament takes precedence.
Are you interested in continuing?
Crunch time on a deadline till Thurs, so gonna avoid having a third game on the go at least until then😅
But, yeah i did miss both BAs, (got the supporting birds nest) as well as miss netherdrain which i thought would to cool to shrink ur patrol by one - aaand bugblatters were a great move against the skeleton swarm!!
Me too i am enjoying these a lot so will return once the round is over🙌
