Me as well. Actually I can only post only very unreliably as you can see. I’d like to try blue. Will you play with the same specs?

42

sure, I feel like the build does some strong things but I need a bit more practice on it. Going to try out the white starter this time

43

I’m not experienced enough to say much about builds, yet. I feel the mono colour decks are very strong by themselves already, but I’ve mostly played Green and I think Green is very competitive and easy to play. It’s hard to pick a favourite. I’ve enjoyed playing all specs so far and I never felt I couldn’t win whatever I played, although I had a harder time with purple.

The only thing I noticed is that some specs don’t have a counter for demonology and will have a hard time to trade well against early Demon pressure, so I feel like some sort of hero removal or very strong early game is mandatory.

It’s my turn to go first:

Question on disabled tech 1, does it still count for building a tech 2?

51

“When you disable an opponent’s tech building, they cannot build the next higher tech building until the disable ends”

I should have done better :weary:. I really didn’t find a good way to do something with my Tech advantage. Instead I teched dead cards and overvalued Brave Knights, who are bad against direct removal.
Still Injunction was an interesting play, I think, and the game a worthwile experience.

Edit: Rematch? :grin:

60

Yeah injunction was super annoying, i’m up for a rematch but this game kinda pointed out that feral brings very little, going to swap it out
