he just knows me playing this Deck too well and his win rate as P1 is really high against me, so I’m going to try something new as P2. I’m absolutely unsure whether I will be able to stand against the likely early pressure after skipping this possibility to build board…

Yeah, defenitely the last one for a while, it is enough.

OK, I thought I take control of my whiffs with early hh. Let’s see if that will work…

By the way, what was that for a poor trap? I know you too well, and I would bet 100$ that you have RG on your hand. :wink: The queen has always her price and it is not so cheap…

He will probably play the same like last game, basilisk, MOP, gunship.

No idea if HH works with 2x basilisk in the beginning. But playing the same like usually is too boring. Playing more t0 units and going down with cards is no option. Midband Vandy is the standard approach…

Maybe he will go for early sharks in t3 with all his money…

he’s for sure expecting tiny b, so let’s try to surprise him :wink:
it was tempting to try to build a trap for sharks, but it didn’t feel worth it. I prefer to gamble on a better turn 4 than a so-so chance to have a good turn 3.

Could be sharks with all his money or the standard 2x basilisk. In both cases treant must die.

Unfortunately I draw fencer on the first hand, and cannot play Oni. Would have been a very strong turn 4…

stupid that I didn’t go for my original plan to tech GPT+brave knight last turn. Without two cadets & tiger now, midbandori is too weak. I’ll go for young treant and if I draw cadet then I’ll go for midbandori, otherwise I’ll probably have to offer tech2 for a break and accept a bad board positition :-/

Looks like you overpaid $1 for Midbanddori.

Cadets, I am surprised. But of course I had the bad draw with Fencer on the first hand that I could not bring Oni, and he has the perfect draw. Lost the board control.

If he has now forest favor on the hand and kills Vandy :face_vomiting: and it will be enough to have the gap for the gunship.

Money is enough to fetch meta with oni. With Fencer on scav even with worker

where is the doomed jav?

@Legion :

Imp, Jav… What’s the difference :wink:

Perfect draw line for him. Tech 2 skip, Midori is protected. Should be over. In 3 rounds he has his gunship and with midori killings I cannot build enough preassure.

Guide is useless now. No tech 2 cards next turn, but he should destroy tech2. Last chance…

float 7??? going to kill fencer, that guarantees no hasters next turn!

With a lucky draw, and he has too choose… But the chances are very low.

With the second meta fencer rush will probably not work. I tech it anyway since he will probably see it as the lower risk vs. 2 waves of fencers if he can kill river with zane.

Unfortanetly I was not thinking about switching before and workered the haunt.

Post draw, OK not lucky no garrison. That’s probably it…

PS: I did choose to distribute the levels first and drew then, but am I right that I would have been allowed to choose the order of the triggers from killing river and therefore could have had a look at the draw first?

Well played, I fold here. @FrozenStorm

As agreed upon in privat chat: that tree draw t3 was the 1/3 : 2/3 chanced pivotal point!

Great execution of your Meta plan, I was really really lucky to be able to steal that victory

@Moby_Dick I am so thoroughly confused by your turn 5 here but my brain is fried, maybe I’m missing something?

What was the rationale behind not doing Guide + Starlet + Fencer, Fencer kills SQL, Starlet and Cadet smash Midori? Sure the Guide probably dies to a Zane maxband trade but that costs too much to also tech up then, you’d be essentially pressing reset but with a tech2 up for yourself
