My Codex is [Anarchy]/Feral/Peace.
scymrian will, I think, be playing Disease/Fire/Peace. Not sure what starter yet.
I used random.org to roll between 1 and 100
74
scymrian - roll, then click the spoiler and let me know which of us is going first

This took me over an hour, probably, because it turns out I know nothing about this game. The process of trying to learn is so much fun, though!

You meant to say summon bluecoat musketeer but instead it said summon building inspector. You paid the right amount of gold though!

I did decide to fix the typo, to make a cleaner read for the audience. Thanks, folks! This turn went much faster, which can mean, one of two things.

Secret Thoughts
At this point, my basic idea (“plan” is a strong word) is to use Jail to slow down mj’s board development, and start transitioning into a fire-based board control strategy with Firebats and, in the future, Jaina. My Firebat can be killed here, for a cost, but I have another one in hand, and I’ve begun to tech some red removal spells. I do not plan on building Tech 2 “on time” and I hope that’s not disastrous.
Your bluecoat musketeer did not die, it has long range.

I still have no clue what I’m doing. I teched for Brave Knights because I think I’m spending cards like a doof so hopefully their ability to help gain cards back is good? I didn’t draw a flame arrow this turn, but I found the Manufactured Truth line, which was less preferable but it worked. Maybe I should build a tower, if I could ever find the money for it. Codex is expensive! I’m making it up as I go along! I’m screaming a whole lot!
I don’t think you can do this. The tiger is invisible while I have a Feral hero, which I think means it cannot be targeted by spells or abilities. Because it’s patrolling it’s attackable, but there’s no mention of the “untargetable” bit going away.
Why is this game so hard. Uh. I attack it. It’s fine. They trade. Whatever. No problem!
(I actually figured that out at one point and promptly forgot it).
I’ll edit my post to remove the Firebat in the back and give myself the one gold back. Still keeping Patrol the same.
