cal as his hard hitter means that i should also open with cal and threaten stealth hero snipe.

he’s got a strong tech 2 advantage, but no upgrdae removal as far as the eye can see.

argo’s wil be tough, just his heavy units in general. probably try and go hero’s hall to being out arg and polymorph squirrels (as P1 I can draw into mine first).

long term…need to break his tech 2 somehow. probably fencers, discord

Game #4 out of 5 starting as P2, and again facing a strong start. At least I have an opening split that would let me keep up.
CodexNewb will need a combat spell to get through Brogre, otherwise I can punish him next turn with a Charged Dog.

hmm, boombaster AND BRO, pretty offensive opening. well, i dont see cal surviving for very long. he’ll for sure bring outa hero next turn. next turn he could potentially gg 6 drak 4 charge 2 mad man 1 nautical dog 0 (or swap charge for bombaster’s effect. whatever you want. i doubt he wouldnt have played a 1 drop if he had it given his past games with this deck. although i will say, him going all out this early without a hero’s hall would be a little overkill.

the point is, Cal is not staying around long anyways, so i might as well trade her at cost. putting ironbark at Elite ensures he trades into him with at least 2 units, unless if he wants to waste charge or spend extra on scortch. also, bombaster wont survive to attack AND use his effect. Ill have to just let Cal go here and get a card out of her.

teching in DOUBLE Fencer because ill want to try and hit back hard if i can draw into both of them. him being down cards gives me some breahting room. next round of teching would inviove Argo removal.

I don’t get it, does he want me to score free lvls off Cala?
I’m actually considering midband Drakk for a patrol zone clear, but I don’t think I’d have anything to play next turn, and I have no idea what I’d tech.
So I’ll go with the more solid Cala, who should survive anything but double Fencers or Fencer + Rampant Growth. And I’ll tech Argo’s to play while teching up next turn.

so here’s the gold play at work.
+! merfolk
-1 ironbark bombaster trade
+2 cal kill (1 car swing)

all that aside, ill need to tech 2 next turn. GG+Float=8 worker 7 merfolk 8 tech 2 4 PMS 1

his next turn is GG+F=8 worker 7, Argo (most likley based on previous games) 4, tech 2

that means I can PMS to clear his Argo with no immediate trade, but I’ll need to prepare for crashbarrows.

however, if i have the chance to break his tech 2, i might tech stampede and max arg isntead of tech 2 fora turn. unless, if i end up going tech 2, i might just bring oversized rhino out immediately.

If that was a trap, it worked pretty damn well. It won’t stop me from getting to tech 2 first and going all in on the Blood plan.
…
After the draw: didn’t get a Crashbarrow, but Argo+Charge is also a nice combo.

well, that hero trade worked out well. now to deal with his crashbarrows. i cant do anything if he’s already got 2 of them. so ill just patrol to maximize rewards. he could also drop double argo.

PMS to deal with argo, or whatever tech 1 units he brough in. im about to find out since he didnt drop any last turn. maestro and fencers to deal with his tech 2.

ideal next turn, i PMS whatever strong bodies he drops, snipe with fencer, who is hopefully free from maestro.

A wisp, of all things, is keeping me from executing Argo+Charge. But that’s ok, I’ll stabilize with two Argo’s now, and go nuts with Crashbarrows next turn. I don’t think CodexNewb has tech 2’s in hand so soon, or more than one hasted unit.
I’m teching Kidnapping to try and grab a Grounded Guide, and Recruiter mostly as a combat unit, though it would be nice to snatch a Fencer or something. He also makes for a good TD target.

Switching to a base race here. I have to kill Arg to set up Geiger’s maxband, but that’s a good idea anyway since Stampede is a thing.
I’m likely to lose my tech 2 next, but that’s fine considering my next hand. The question is, can I hold on to it the turn afterwards? I’ll tech 1 card as if I can, and 1 as if not.
Should Geiger go in SQL to survive a single Elemental/Fencer buffed by Grounded Guide? CodexNewb’s drawing into a pretty thick deck, so I guess I’ll risk it. If GGuide does show up, at least I’ll have a nice Kidnapping target. Skipping a worker to keep my cycle going, and because I don’t expect this game to last much longer.

EDIT - woops, forgot to tech in two cards since im P1 and didnt have 10 workers during my upkeep. added them in manually since no reshuffle.

Drew a Crashbarrow off the technician, which is just about the last card I wanted. I also have no good Kidnapping target, and no way to deal base damage. Right now I’m beating myself up for workering Scorch and Bloodburn…
I can kill Cala with a bunch of cards, and leave maxband Drakk in the way of River and Fencer. It might keep my tech 2 alive, but it invites CodexNewb to replay Arg, with all the tokens and spells that entails.
Instead, I can mitigate Cala’s threat with a tower, and just drop bodies to make it harder to both clear my board and leave a patrol up (and hope he didn’t tech Discord…)
…
After the draw: got 3 direct base damage in my next hand, not counting Crashbarrow and the tech draw.

not much else i can do. this is probably it.

I can bring CodexNewb down to 1 base HP, using Geiger’s maxband to flicker Mad Man. Or I can trade with Cala. If he has a Feral Strike in hand, he could do quite a lot of damage fast. Not enough to kill me, but more than enough to break tech 2 again, which would stop me from using Bugblatter to deal 1 unstoppable lethal damage next turn.
So I’ll leave him with 3 HP, and only River on board. Well, that and tech 3, and a full hand of cards. Admittedly, he might pull off some scary stuff, but I don’t think he could clear my board, set up a patrol, and break tech 2 all at once. And I probably need just one of those to finish.

Arg in SQL was smart, but it doesn’t help when I can sac my own guy. For future reference though, Shoddy Glider would’ve been a much simpler finish than Bugblatter here.

nice one. funny how it played out as green trying to overcome blood P2. i think the argo’s gave the most trouble. i didnt have an efficient way to remove them (aka, like the 3rd time ive regretted not having midori and his tiny basilisks).

gg man, this is my final loss, so good luck in the rest of the tourny

Having read your thoughts, it’s clear you had a good read of me (I hadn’t realized I’ve been playing so predictably). It’s just that Crashbarrows are SO hard to stop, even when you know they’re coming.

Thanks for a great game, it was definitely cool seeing those squirrels pop up!
