My impression is that other people think this match is Blue-favored, but that is not my experience. Then again, I AM quite bad so that’s probably more pertinent in my matches.

Elite training is still quite the risk even with oni back in the command zone. But this went to plan (was very nice to draw both teched cards, without Knight I’d hesitate to say I’m that far ahead)

worker skip would have made this way more intense…
