Opening with Imp+Haunt into Graveyard is too tempting to pass up, even if Garth and a skeleton would be better board presence.
I’m expecting Lich’s Bargains to decide this match, and I don’t know if that favors me, as Hounds and Midbandori might tip it in Frozen’s favor. If we do go to tech 2, Present does pretty well against Truth, but might struggle against Balance.
Necro duel, I think maybe I’m a decent match for that? My tech2 engines don’t fair great against Tricycloid. Might be a fun time to try Balance tech 2… I definitely win tech 3 if I can manage that. LB actually isn’t bad either, can try to run tokens I spose! We’ll see how it goes

My Thoughts
Hmm wonder what DF will be up to, whether he wants to have a token war when I have moment’s peace? Or will it be the Hyperion/Tric fight? I’m leaning it’ll be T2 Present so I’ll grab Tiny B, he’s solid against Tech2s. Just in case Now! is the tech we’ll backline Garth. Imp should help slow things down a touch

Whiffed the RS bad luck, I’ll have to improvise next turn.

I can plow through patrol, doube tech break, and still end up with 15 ATK on board. The one thing that would really slow me down is a Bargain, but Frozen might start worrying about base health soon. Plus, I’ll be the first with a standing tech 2.

Guess we double LB and hope for the best? Maybe we can pull off a comeback highly doubtful… If we split Moment’s Peace though that’s definitely a plus.

I’d hate to draw Death Rites early, but I should probably use Geiger’s midband anyway.
…
Got Imp, which isn’t too useful right now, but at least it isn’t Death Rites! I’ll just tech up and clear Frozen’s big threats.
Edit: aaaand I forgot about Midbandori. Frozen’s upcoming turn is gonna hurt.
