My Thoughts

Tryharding in the tryhard tourneys, saving the sillyness for the silly tourneys. Somebody’s gotta measure the new decks against the established strength XD Little bummed no one is on Miracle Grow this tourney but nbd. Gotta watch out for Discord here but otherwise I think I’m good to pull the Finesse T2 / Meta gambit


i doubt i’ll have much fun against that nightmare :wink: gl!

My Thoughts

Well I spose with all that float likely Hardy wants to come at me with Zane. Gonna take the free kills on those units, could get PBR out and protect Vandy but I think I’d rather allow the Zane to kill Vandy if so desired. It’s a reasonable trade for me if he does it, makes him skip tech1 and I can just do Graveyard + Imp / Garth + Skele / Whatever


@FrozenStorm You are mono color I believe. Shouldn’t HH cost you 2?

shouldn’t heroes’ hall cost 2? you don’t have that penalty sigh

Maybe he should pay the penalty for playing Nightmare though. :wink:

You all are right, obviously played too much mono! I will float the 1g

sorry for the little delay. i’m currently not at home. will need another day for my next turn…

My Thoughts

Nice, yep, keeping Zane away. Grabbing other Fencer and Nether Drain. Setup will be turn 5/6 tech2 and meta threat. Play will be Yard + Garth + Det (if I get it) + either Fencer or Mid Vandy to clear things out (I guess if I whiff Det maybe Graveyard has to be skipped to Mid Vandy and Fencer? We’ll see)

suppose he teched in fencers to play them from graveyard… not much i can do to prevent double fencers next turn. but i can hit his heroes and i guess i’ll go for that. expect zane to die to fencers next turn… at least he (hopefully) won’t have enough firepower to get rid of zane AND break my tech 1…

i wonder if i should tech detonate to get rid of his graveyard once and for all

Ooof wasn’t counting on that!

My Thoughts

Welp, did not expect that… So just T2 Finesse plan now, but I’d like to get Fencer down, kill the tech1 opposite to break momentum, and still block. So I have to wait on T2… and that’s fine. I’ll grab one maestro and a STS, if I draw either hopefully I don’t draw the DP and I can cycle for them. Nothing hurting :slight_smile:


but still looks like i manoeuvered myself into a dead end… i see death and destruction in my future :sweat_smile:

your base should be at 18 btw from dark pact

My Thoughts

Would be able to max Vandy here, so teching Meta is fair game… but to do it, would need to let the tech1 live and probably give up River, which means no 3-hero. I’d rather just lock off T1 to eliminate all haste, and play for Finesse T2. I will get Det or STS with DP, and either one will mean I can break all the way through with Vandy doom. That’s plenty good to finish things off


… i had hoped to stand a bit longer… :frowning: gg (on your side at least)

It’s called Nightmare for a reason :confused: GG WP, you timed your Zane attack well (and I didn’t consider Grappling Hook, foolish of me), just unfortunately not much doing against the amount of early pressure I can put out.
