Man, I completely forgot about nullcraft there.

gg - I don’t have the ability to keep up with the Past engine, nor base race given the current location of my Tricycloids.

Your turn to start.

I was much more worried about you giving something Haste with his max-band than anything else you might do. I should have put Grave in sql to play around Nullcraft too, of course, thou I’m not sure it would have matterwd in the end.

65

Fair – I would’ve needed netherdrain and/or nullcraft (both for squadlead) or Doom Grasp to deal with Grave before he sword runes whatever I garth out if I didn’t have the seer, while Drakk frenzy+haste means I could kill Grave pretty reliably by attacking with Drakk and summoning basically anything

[details=Thoughts]No immediate Tech 2, so how much damage do I want/need to do?
Drew Fading Argo in the Technician reshuffle before P1T4 techs.

Time spiral is the easy worker.

Fading Argo + Bloodlust kills imp and baron leaves me with Drakk 1, mox and nullcraft. Nullcraft does tech 1 damage or base damage. Discard 1, draw 3 which is maybe worst as netherdrain+TR+HE. Squadlead drakk means he’d need something like reversal to kill drakk for levels, and he’d STILL need to attack after.
Otherwise he needs to maxband first for 4/9 gold – which means leftover damage on Grave with Mox hanging about being a butt. Possibly chucks sword at nullcraft.

IF he is going tech 2 this turn he’ll want 4 gold for that, which means pretty much maxband+tech 2 is one option with a worker.

If he goes a leaner route of say, grave maybe doinks into drakk, tech 2, sparring partner, worker, argonaut OR tech 2 worker rambasa twins… (Or more generically 2 2-drops or 1+3 drops)

Another option is possibility of versatile style breaking my battlesuits for 2, and some 1 drops

2 bodies and Grave vs mox-null-drakk offers potentially 2+3+2 damage by midband drakk and I have a good chance of HE next turn who could either be boosted or simply hasted into combat fairly effectively. Also a good chance to have a respectable Garth option.

Kidnapping and [Bone collector]/Seer/HE#2 probably goes in this turn.
Don’t really want to overcommit to spells or particularly drakk spells yet, so not a second bloodlust yet.
Bone collector with skeleton generation makes midband drakk cycles a bit stronger, so probably grabbing one of those.
Next tech 1 inclusion will be my 1x seer so Prynn//rememberer are stronger.

I don’t know quite yet if I am going blood, past or necro. Default assumption is past with Shimmer Ray and Second Chances eventually kicking garth out for rememberer-seer-golgort[/details]

I don’t see you spending a gold for the Skeleton token. Do whatever different thing you want if it isn’t my oversight.

72

Nope yep that looks like my error.
Hrm. I’ll need to think a bit on what I want to do.

I was kinda rushing that turn a bit.
Mind if I redo the turn from the start?

I assume I should redraw my hand after if I’m attempting to keep to the fancy formal style rules (I’d like to try keeping to them anyway).

[details=Thoughts]Various ‘easy’ fixes:
Skip the skeleton – this leaves only two bodies in patrol. Part of why I wanted a three body patrol was to secure Mox’s continued support AND keep Garth around next turn for continued skelebodies//potential maxband fetching of stuff (eventual sac, midband buffing with drakk, – which is probably worth it as I’m still not really into tech 2. If I rearrange to sqadlead bomber, Prynn in tech, he can pretty much only get through with sparring UNLESS he has reversal.

Skip a worker – I don’t really like this plan as gold is good so no.

Go further back and don’t do stuff the way I did. – Prynn-garth-skeleton-worker is 6, crash bomber is 7, float 1 discard 1, draw 1, reshuffle draw 2 – this might have been the route I want? Has the three body patrol like I wanted but doesn’t redraw//shuffle, which is probably the better plan?
Should my Tech still be seer+second chances? Sure why not Lets say it is.
