Think it’s coming down to base race time, I need to draw elite training or rambaster to either deal with the tower or the air support. DS Mad Man DP leaves me room to do either well.
…
Ok I draw both. Which one is better? Elite training is much more passive, and prone to Prynn or ground pound screwing it up. I think better to press the tower and base, we’ll flood the board and wipe his except for the air. If dwarddd wants to press face I think I can come back and roll that, if he keeps trying to chip the tech1 and DS or Garrison I think I can outlast that too, he’s getting really low on cards…
Mm it was close for a while, but i believe i either die to board or die to lobbers here depending on what i kill with shimmer rays. May as well take a slight bet on lobbers being absent!

My Thoughts
Okay, lethal, lethal lethal lethal… what can I do with what’s in my hand? How can I tutor for a Dark pact AND put damage on the base? or tutor for Shadow blade? Something? Since the tower’s there I can’t attack first on anything… I think my best bet is to try and fish for the other lobber, Boot Camp the Fargo, trade Brogre, and hope I can put the last bits of damage on the base over the next couple turns before I lose my own. Now + Golgort or something is a risk I think I just run and hope I’m okay, maybe unwise but YOLO!
And now just in case DP wasn’t good enough it has the added functionality of helping in a base race
But lol there r so many ways i could die from your deck i dont think i deserve to survive another turn😅
Madman has a dmg i believe

Thoughts
tech draw is Temporal research (only card in Deck). wins? very small, but all include at least 1 now! so teching double now! also since that is a max spell might as well spring for temporal research from the start instead of argonaut. Temporal research draws are golgurt and origin story… only option is play the golgurt and hope. second chances, I’m out, tower up and hope then
I do in fact have DP in hand and the other available to fetch from Midband, which I do think we should eliminate from vandy’s arsenal in the next balance discussion, but in its current state will win me the game. GGWP!
Wow, close call and it’s been fun to watch. I was completely set on this being the first match for this awesome deck to lose in a tournament, but turned out I was wrong. Good game, you two!
And yeah, further nerfs to Vandy might be necessary…
Mm, your main plan failed, but Meta is so ridiculous in the fact that you didn’t have to be planning that way at all and can just rely on Vandy to fetch it…
Also i felt a lot of pressure on many decisions this game, any suggestions for things i could have done differently?
But overall was super fun thanks @FrozenStorm and well played
I’d like to say a Slow-Time Generator once your air force is up, since it doesn’t affect your hand size for time rune fuel. I don’t know how easily you could have kept it up, though.
