Let’s see how we do! I think safer to take out Fargo, I’m almost inclined to turtle but BK doesn’t let me go tower also so I don’t think that’s the play
Could do Tower + OC but I think I’d rather have another body just to be safe from Hyperion. Don’t think I wanna risk 60% for the Garrison so no Lobber either, hopefully we can get more out of that gold next turn

Thoughts
I could bounce Dog (or dig for TD) and break either both tech buildings or both Garrisons. Which is better? Targeting the Garrisons is riskier - Frozen could snag an easy Vandy kill - but I think it’s a better long-term investment.
If I do draw TD (and save 2 gold on flickering Hyperion), I could maxband Vandy or drop a Fargo to patrol, which would reduce my risk by a lot.
…
No such luck, but at least I’ll have TD in my next hand.

I don’t like my odds here at all LMAO but I mean it’d be so epic if I came back at this point, gotta try it right? We’ll see what comes, at least I get one turn off from Geiger…

Immortal or Tricycloid is a tough choice. I think it’s better to set up Meta + Immortal than to clear Rambaster, even though Frozen only needs a single doomed Lobber to clear Grave.

Looking back through this game, it’s clear that luck was on my side. Your starting hand was abysmal, and I had the perfect hand the first time you broke my tech 2. Still, it’s nice to know that if everything lines up just right, Burning Legion can be beaten.
Congratulations Dreamfire, you are the first one! And as P2 is extra strong, but maybe easier for purple starter. And you had to break through 2 garrisons! Looking forward to play against you.
@FrozenStorm well played unfortunately you don’t get the revanche. I feel I was a bit luckier maybe not in the game but with the starting hands. And this can already be enough.
Starting hands can indeed mean a lot! But I know you both played excellently as well (watch out for that Forgotten Fighter @Moby_Dick !) . Looking forward to pickin’ up some popcorn to watch the finals!
