If this plays out how I want it, I won’t need that 10th worker…

Surprise Attack / Judgment Day can still mess me up, so let’s hope they didn’t go for that when I blocked 3s. I should probably save the TPoS plan for when I get an opportunistic hero kill early.

edit: remove copy/pasted 9th worker (counts & gold is correct)

hmmm, so zane, bigby, chaos mirror, injunction, zane clears traffic director…but what next?

Twins kills grave, take 1 each.
—> He can gg 9, worker 8, max orpal, 1, sacrifice brave knight to place rune in a twin, kills him, maxband triggers, spreads runes to other twin and smoker
Twins his base
-----> Grave can readily hit bigby, sword rune twin
-----> grave can reversal bigby, disable him, readily kill twin, sword rune other twin.
leave TD alive, patrol zane and bigby (no spells in my next hand)
-----> reversal a hero, grave readily hits me

I think honestly there is no way to save everyone. i should just be thankful i can empty his board. i’ll hit his base to pressure him to wall up and put bigby in tech. fully expecting to lose bigby and twins. teching PGS and LBG in case i need to tech up next turn.

Legion · August 20, 2019, 9:43pm

unless i am missing smth you paid 1g too much for worker and 2g too lil for the brave knights. 9-1(work)-6(3x2 cuz Bknights) makes 2. 1 gold short for max grave
EDIT: also you have 10 workers in that scenario, not 9 @Persephone

Persephone · August 20, 2019, 10:07pm

Worker was a copy paste error, thought I deleted it.

Persephone · August 20, 2019, 10:16pm

Looks like you also skipped worker, which leaves you at 9 workers, yes?

Graves displays his Martial Mastery for 1g. (8g)

Discard a card, then draw two. (6 cards, 3 in deck, 6 discards)

Discard: Manufactured Truth
Draw: Martial Mastery, Jail

I look at your hand: Insurance Agent x2, Gunpoint Taxman, Snapback, Grappling Hook.

Grave pays 3g to kill Bigby Hayes with a Reversal. Levels fizzle, you get a gold. (5g, 5 cards, 7 discards)
(at least I think you get the gold, depends if we check for lethal damage after commas or only on periods.)

Grave attacks and kills Rambasa Twin, taking 3 damage from the Twin and 1 from the tower.
He exhausts to kill the other one with his sword.

Grave Stormborne summons the True Power of Storms to deal 10 damage to your base (10 ), paying 3g and discarding Porkhand Magistrate and Plague Lab. (2g, 2 cards, 10 discards)

Hire 10th worker for 1g. (1g, 1 card)

Jail

Finally, Grave pays 1g to display his Martial Mastery and draw two cards. (0 cards in deck, 11 discards)

If I don’t win the game outright on these draws, I’ll need… something. Drill Sergeant + Garrison would keep me in 3s but I don’t exactly have a ton of units to play to keep the runes up. Training Grounds gives me a better shot at a second rounds of ults (+ can’t be Injunction’d), Sickness is generally good vs. weenies and even better with Plague Lab.

Arrest the double-insured GPT next turn would be nice, but I think I need the extra card more (?).

Unfortunately, Brave Knight returns to my hand instead of dying when he’s killed in combat, making insuring him pointless unless you’re planning on killing him with a spell or ability. Maybe you’d like to insure GPT instead?

codexnewb · August 21, 2019, 3:16am

Continuing to tech cards like a noob because I seeded my deck with so many Grave spells, I need to stuff it with other cards to bring my average up from “dead draw”.

Magistrate, Boot Camp… I can work with this.

Yeah, if you’d had a Gunship this turn I’d have lost. On the other hand, that Injunction stopped you from getting 20 to 0’d by both True Power of Storms a few turns ago.

Just need to break three more tech buildings and I can win.
