@Frozen this was unavoidable. I think P1 is favoured, but I testet mainly Burning Legion against other decks. The only mirror match I lost as P1 against Zango. It will be interesting…

Dog is good, no bogre or haste on the second not so much. Workering BB probably OK, I don’t think I will be able to play it.

My Thoughts
Do I feel like I can play very straight-up and win? Or should I think a little outside the box? I might be able to get to tech2 first, but what will that require? Strong sustain against Vandy and early lobbers I spose. Something Red starter isn’t great at… I could Midband Vandy here, I could Bombaster or dog just as a slowdown… Bombaster SQL this turn, mid vandy + tech1 next turn might get me there. Oni maxband angle is another thing I could think about, there isn’t a strong anti-hero on the other side when AoW is up. Gargoyle also would be a pita to deal with. Might be a good counter play. IDK I don’t have the answer so I’m gonna Bombaster + Vandy, we’ll see how that works out, it’s actually not easy to deal with that without maxbanding Vandy and that’s probably okay for me.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!
@Frozen, I realized I had dog still on scav und wanted him on tech. Just forgot to copy. I changed it. If that is not OK for you, then just assume he is still on Scav.
No sweat @Moby_Dick please feel free to stealth edit within an hour or so of posting, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to play back that quickly and if it does happen we can just sort it out case by case

I’m gonna veer a bit and go BK + OC, hope to draw the BK and plan to fast tech, hoping the BK poses a tough enough body to get through. Let’s hope that gets me there quickly. It just occurred to me that Lobber + Air Hammer is a nasty combo for wrecking buildings, I may try that out as well we’ll see
Thanks, but I know you are not allowed to change the patrol after drawing, but it had nothing to do with my hand. Burning legion must always be on technician after turn 2 under these cirumstances.
It was a bit quiet, so let’s get started. Against all other decks I would say that’s it, but against burning legion the game just started.

Break Tech1 and remove witnesses - done
Vandy is gone and his cycle with tech plans are hopefully disturbed. But it is not that good like it seems. There are several ways for Frozen to strike back or stay in game. Oger in my second hand would have ended the game…
But meta is now another option.
@FrozenStorm’s turn!
That is certainly true, you’d be expected to re-draw your hand if you make that mistake, but I have trust in this community to do that and you’re no exception

Well that hurts, I probably don’t get tech2 first now, but let’s see if I can’t get ahold of the board while that happens…
@FrozenStorm No of course I did not redraw, because I asked you if you accept the change otherwise it is still scav. You played directly. So no chance to redraw or discuss it. As described it was anyway just that i forgot to copy. If I wanted to cheat and change after the draw I would have just changed it before posting.
So I can jump back and redraw and check if it would change the game. Or you assume it would be on scav and kill the dog.

Yes I understood in that case it was a copy paste issue, we’re good, no need to fret

Ok thanks, I think the discussion was anyway unnecessary. After rethinking Scav might have even been the better option with my tech choice. Next time I consider that first, before asking for change.
Seems I was very lucky. That was another thing I realized too late. My move in T3 was maybe not the best thing against Burning Legion… Curious to see your hand, must have been a very odd one with 6 out of 8. Maybe the workers…

No revenche Tech break, seems I was lucky. Maybe charge and scorch are already a worker.
But I don’t know if the tower was a good idea. I will have a weak first garrison cycle, and this would be his chance to strike back. But he would need enough money for that, and tower is expensive. Without the tower I might had to take the risk of not playing a lobber to get further in my cycle. But with it no need.
But with the tower meta is no option, that was probably the intend.

Idk didn’t seem that odd lol

Now comes the difficult part. His first garrison round will be more powerful than mine. I hope Vandy is enough, that he does not break garrison or tech building. Garrison DS cadet + 2x lobber is possible… If teched something strange like air hammerer hoping for charge would be OK for me. That is too expensive. Same for Jaina spells so early.
If I survive that, it looks good. I think this game will be decided via cycle managment. My next cycle will be excellent and I can play it completely. So I don’t want to touch it now. If I would draw ds now, would be really bad.
The other possibility would be 2 garrisons and try to cycle to cadets. Much more risky with the wrong draws.
Oh… bad draw. No DS and 2 from the cards I don’t want to play.
@FrozenStorm’s turn!
Don’t let me wait too long, now it is becoming interesting.
Lol weekends are not great for me to play a lot, but I’ll do my best to play at least one turn a day

OK I have the chance to kill the garrison. If I just play the units, I will need the MSR. That means float 1 + worker. It might go wrong if I bottom deck both ds.
The other way is with the second garrison. The garrison kill is safe, but it might be with worker skip. But with two garrisons I can dillute the deck a bit more.
My def will not be optimal, with 2 garrisons out he will probably go for the tech 2. Not ideal, but let’s see. So I will tech tech1 units. It depends how his draws will line up. Garrison + DS + 3 lobber + mm will be the worst case. Don’t know if that would be possible with his hand.
- OK draws did not line up perfectly so I have just 3 runes after clearing patrol left, and no repeated lobber play possible. Kill tech 2 or garrison? Better garrison that are definetly 3g.
@FrozenStorm’s turn!
edit stats cadet adapted.
Think that’s game, I’m not going to be able to come back, GG WP!
It was certainly close, I almost got to your Garrison or T1 last turn (needed to draw the DS earlier) but didn’t quite get there. The Tech1 break on your turn 3 really hurt as well, I was hoping to have the inside track on Tech2 and would have if I’d kept the tech1. An aggressive play but a great one!

GG WP!
It was indeed very close. And when going through it you were not really lucky with your draws. I had at several turns a hand in mind that would cause big trouble for me.
If you have the dog oger split and play that with Vandy you have the most aggressive start for turn 3 in that game. With msr and lobber I don’t think any deck can prevent a tech break. And not drawing everything might be enough…
