GG! Man, I did not tech Entangling Vines nearly as early as I needed to, because finding an answer to that Mox was super-critical. Never mind how I totally overlooked Boot Camp, which is surprising given how much I like Finesseās little sidelining tricks.
Well, I donāt think I ever left mox vulnerable to Vines (which can only target patrollers).
The buff mox is beatable at a strategic level by ending the game quickly, before the value accumulates (either a base rush or a tech rush), or by having access to Past, Blood, Disease, Truth, Growth, Law, or Blue Starter (in approximate order of effectiveness).
