At least I’m getting to spend. Guessing he’ll start to hit my Base rather than Tech2. In which case Graveyard could be useful to recycle a Monkey.

Hmm, I have a 1 hp River, I could shadowblade one patroller and trade River for the other, then get out Setsuki, then I can use Hidden Ninja to draw something. If Im lucky, speed of the fox, but even if not, Vandy still breaks stuff. Doom grasp is still a possibility, but his hasty options are expended for a turn, so I should just build tech 2. Or maybe I maxband Setsuki for the card draw… Chances are I won’t draw BOTH glorious ninja… it would make him more likely to doom grasp setsuki, but then im left with just vandy, and probably wouldnt be able to break through. Tech 2 is safer, I think.

With the dust settling, and finally getting Doom Grasp in hand, I’m surprisingly not in bad shape.

Patrolling Garth in SQL for HP to stand up to Setsuki or Glorious Ninja swift strike – though Wither/Bloom/Fencer could change that.


[/spoiler][/details]

Just a note, your turn doesn’t really need to change in function but in form, you can’t just make a skele to draw at lvl 1, you gotta put garth at 4 immediately to do that

Should I just reorder the actions, or redo the draws too?

Could make quite a difference, as I got a good draw off that Skeleton sac. I’d have gone for the same plan irregardless (with mid Garth before Skelly sac) – but this is a tournament so happy to go with tournament rules.

just reordering is fine, no functional change required.

2 Likes

Edited, with mid Garth first

Yea like I said, it wouldn’t change the function, just the ordering.

Wanted to make sure you knew and others weren’t confused when reading it is all :wink:

I knew the doom grasp had to come eventually, but damn, at least you had to dig for it :stuck_out_tongue:

From my perspective, this has been an upheal battle for me, even if it did seem like I was doing well…

Damn, nice draw, and now I’m kinda screwed. I could Hidden Ninja, and at least poke things and get a draw.

I’m going to face gunships here shortly.

Ok, so attack with glorious ninja, I’m open to him just killing everything with bone collector and haste. Put Ninja in front, and he might have another doom grasp, or heck, even get it on the reshuffle, or heck, sac the weak! Sigh.

Been trying to Doom Grasp since T4, when it got hit for Shadow Blade discard

HAHA, and here I thought it was just bad draws. I figured shadowblade wasn’t doing much given it almost always was hitting a technician.

Ok, so, gunships, probably. How far can I get against gunships… I can stick Vandy or river in Patrol, he will probably kill them after hitting my base and obliterating glorious ninja. On the off chance my luck is swinging the other way, put ninja in front, to stop whatever onslaught of units.

The big question is, maxband vandy or get out River. Eh, little safer putting out river. He doesnt have enough gold to put down two gunships, which would be game. he could put down gunship and monkey, but thats 1 short of lethal.

Crazy game, Shadow Blade hits Gunship for discard! I must have angered the Variance Gods.

Just 1atk short of being able to kill Setsuki too and seal the game. With the right draws he could get my Base dangerously low.

GG, very well played!

Thought that Tiny Basilisks and Doom Grasp between them would deal with your hero play. But your spells were super effective throughout, Sets spells and Shadow Blade which kept hitting the card I really didn’t want to discard – Doom Grasp, Basilisks twice and then Gunship at the end. Good build.

Exciting game, thanks!
