Too far behind to catch up here, GG!

GG!

You said it was an experiment, what were you going for with the experiment?

14

Just testing how this build works. Looking for weaknesses and lines of play. I have another game with the same deck going on with Legion at the moment, so seeing if there are other specs that would work better. Primarily I wanted to see how I could leverage Charge and Now! for early and consistent pressure.

Any thoughts or critiques?

15

Lobber could have done some decent work, I was surprised when you played sentry, though it could have done more against overpowering crashbarrows than I let it do. It did make me have to come up with a different play, but It didn’t make my play worse.

You could have kept me from hitting either your dog or the ogre on your T1 by using SQL, i was surprised you let me walk in an hit both. If either had been in SQL, I might have lost Jandra, instead of getting another turn with her hitting things.

Bloodlust is generally more useful than Now! as a note and Drakk’s Midband really helps make lobbers trade well, or really anything. The thing I always need when using haste is card draw and cheap units. Sacrificing Skeletons for card draw can be very effective. Geiger’s Ult is fairly tricky to pull off, and you need to make sure to set up a friendly unit that you want to use his maxband on, but if you can do that, you might get a lot of value out of his ultimate and a deck full of 1 cost units.

Lastly, don’t go down on cards lightly, your opponent will not always oblige you with a technician draw.

Right, I forgot about Bloodlust! I guess Mono-Red still does all the things I’m wanting to do, but maybe I can try a Fire/Blood/Demonology build or something. I think specifically I’ve been trying to find a way to use early game hasted flyers, but Gargoyles are very expensive.

And yes the T1 patrolling with BRO and Dog in scav/tech was very bad.
