First time playing this deck, I really need to study how EricF played it b/c I don’t feel like I have a good handle of what I want and don’t want from the starting deck, other than I definitely want battle suits Speaking of which, Plexus + Suits feels like a decent start. Gives me the option to go Nullcraft + hero if Cala midbands to kill it, or counter-pressure otherwise.
…
Ugh, bottom decked Fargo? that’s a major bummer. Tech 1 next turn, and I suppose nullcraft to kill the prospector…

Hmm, he trades 3g and 2 cards for 2g and no cards (effectively with tehcn), just to put 2 on my base? Seems excessive. I feel pretty good about going 2x Cadet here and rushing tech 2, I can lay Garth + skele along with cadets and be reasonably protected with reasonable counter pressure, and if it looks like he’s selling out for tech 2 rush of his own I can pivot to Prynn and TR for really flooding the board. Yea I think that’s a solid plan. Put Fargo in Techn to increase chances of Cadets
…
Well got one cadet but not both. Did get TR though, so that option is still open. We’ll see

Hmm, he’s loading up his board a bit. With Cala, feels like I might be in store for Ferocity or Behind the Ferns. I kinda think Behind the Ferns is more likely, as he gets to keep it down and with enough board presence it means he can potentially keep a tech building or garrison down. I don’t want to accidentally give up levels to Cala either, so Garth + Skele doesn’t seem a good choice. Tower or Plexus are basically the choices in my mind. Tower feels better as P2, longer lasting (hopefully) and keeps my chances at 40% to draw Garrison (if I only tech 1, which I think is what I want to do). For the other tech? Nether Drain, Brave Knight, BC and KotC all feel like reasonable choices, but I think I’m going with Hoodie. Little cheaper than BK, faster to impact than KotC, and has added late-game board removal upside.
If I hit the garrison I’m obviously laying that, but if not I’ll weigh maxing Garth for DS or Spy or maybe Hammer. That choice is more palatable if I patrol scav instead of techn, so I think I’ll take the 40% instead of 60% chance to draw it.
…
Woo, drew the Garrison! And Nullcraft to boot, sweet.

Well, he’s set up his cycle nicely. That early trade makes a lot more sense now in the context of wanting to fatten the deck for a meaty tech2 draw. Well played by him, I should have been a little more aggressive last turn perhaps. Without question his goal is Quince + Barrow / Gliders, so I’m teching a Doom Grasp to put a lid on that. He’s got enough gold to mirror barrow or double mirror glider, so I’m going to patrol such that at most he kills 2 of Garrison, T2 and T1, hoping I can outlast him. He may go straight face too, guess we’ll see. Either way, teching the other Garrison in the likely scenario mine goes down.
…
Drew the Doom Grasp, that’s nice at least…

Well, that was a mistake on his part IMO. Why would he go straight face and not at the Garrison, especially after breaking the tech 2 and not the tech 1… I can understand tech 1 + face or tech 2 + garrison, but not his split… Does he really think he can melt me down that fast? Maybe he thought it wouldn’t matter since he’d be keeping Quince, but naw dawg. I got him covered here pretty well I think. Drakk instamax or kidnapping + barrow are really the only concern. Teching double KotC and we’ll see how my draws go
…
Woo got through all the freebies! OCs were the most important, but needed both KOTC to get to them. This is solid

Yeah, didn’t want mid Drakk + glider to take the Garrison, nor did I want a glider taking Garth. Or 2x going straight face 
GG WP Bob! I must say I was surprised you decided to go straight face with Cala and Panda, or that you went at tech 2 instead of tech 1. Garrison seems a better choice, especially if you’re breaking the tech 2.
I was fortunate with both the Doom grasp draw and the reshuffle cadet / KotC streak though, so I don’t think you were totally wrong to expect less defense there
I thought for sure you were going for behind the ferns, I feel a little silly going so hard for tower. Bloodlusted centaurs and Ogres are a scary proposition indeed though!
GL in the next round!

Yeah, a few stolen soldiers via Ogres could theoretically put almost as much of a damper on the engine as a broken Garrison. d:
