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.

Gg. Not coming back from that.

77

I kinda think you neglected access to a second hero a bit too long – even a hero’s hall would probably have done better than PBR
You couldn’t really get any extra econ advantage from hero kills once Grave was maxed, so maybe not that P2T4.
Sac for 3, Sparring, PBR and Hero’s Hall maybe?

78

Now every time I see Poisonblade Rogue, I’m going to think of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
