My Thoughts

Running it back and I get P1 this time, I spose we’ll see how I keep up the pressure! I’m a little worried I won’t be able to punch through like Moby did last time but we’ll see

2

GL & HF! Yes will be tough for me, let’s see. But I don’t think it is so imbalanced like other decks as P2. Especially when I look at your draws from last game, I think I was a bit lucky. Maybe not 50:50 but no sooo far away. I will definetly give you a hard fight.

Ogre + Bombaster in the same hand, might be difficult… Frozen has the strong start with dog. Maybe the optimal starting hand with Oger on the next, let’s see, nothing I can do about this.

He can probably kill Vandy directly in T2 with tech skip, but I don’t think that is Frozen’s playstyle.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

Hmm, no easy wins here, think Bombaster and play for a big next turn is a solid move, DP + Lobber should get me moving through hasty units well?

Just to ensure, since I did it wrong last time. Scav is correct? @FrozenStorm

OK not sure what he is up to. I will take the Vandy kill with no defense left. With cadet and lobber, what he is usually teching, and without technician draw the possibility for tech break with msr and lobber is only 35%. Not too bad… With two lobbers it looks different. And then there is the lobber lobber madman opportunity. But not much I can do about it…

And even if he does’t get the tech break next turn and I am able tp do tech2 and fetch DP he will still have the garrison first with his better cycle. Or break my tech 2. I need to get the gold advantage to have a stronger first garrison run like Frozen had last game. Or HH and meta. Need anyway much gold, so cadets.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

whelp we’re gonna try to get counter pressure, we’ll see how that goes! I should be able to make it at least somewhat unsafe to just tech straight up

As expected. We start throwing punshes at each other until one of us can make an effective hit.

Bottom deck MSR again? Don’t tell me that I have not warned you about Scav…

If Frozen had MSR I am sure he would have broken Tech1. So he has it now…

This is too much attack, I have do do something. He could break tech 1 or with lobber tech 2. Not ideal but my trades are not too bad. I have no haste on the next hand, so I cannot do a revanche Tech break even if he does not patrol at all…

Not sure yet how much risk I have to take with my teched cards.

Does not look very good… but not too bad.

DP delivered not great results. Lobber and madman. So no haste in the next cycle. And I cannot even play lobber.

Lobber, lobber, mm, cadet, MSR should be his maximum attack. With a preteched DS it will not be more attack. So I should be safe. But his turn after next turn will be the challenge…

And the draw for next turn was really bad as well… Missed the DS.

Edit: rebuild tech 1 of course

Not gonna have enough gold to punch through again… and if I whiff on OC/Lobber on the reshuffle my defense is gonna be pretty dicey. Teching the other Garrison as well pray that isn’t the reshuffle draw, then I’m well and truly done in.
…

Well not great but not a disaster either. Let’s hope for a bottom-deck Garrison or something :crossed_fingers:

GG WP! Seems the first 3 rounds are deciding this matchup.

Indeed turn 3 is pretty pivotal, if P1 can get a tech break that bodes really well, if not P2 can use the extra gold for strong counter-pressure and/or earlier tech2 to gain dominance
