i think i just need to go standard game blood at this point. fire won’t work as well against growth or balance.

Bit of an awkward starting hand, lots of utility cards I don’t want at the start. I think SQL Tiger Cub and Elite Wisp is my best opening against Ogre and Dog.

Thanks. Just needed a day or two’s break, handling our kid’s school work on top of our own during lockdown is occasionally knocking us for six. I can handle adding plots on the data thread, but I can’t handle an actual game! I’ll be back to this soon.

Ironbark Treant is OK against all those 1 HP attackers, but Zane can maxband, kill it in Scavenger, and let codexnewb still worker. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s going for Surprise Attack. I think the Treant is still the best option, though. Then I put either the Prospector or Argagarg in Scavenger or Technician. Technician means I probably get both, Scavenger means Zane can’t shove the Treant there, so he can only kill the Scavenger while getting worker gold. And if there’s a Surprise Attack, well, it doesn’t matter who’s up there, really. I’ll go with the Scavenger to not give free levels away if there aren’t Sharks.

Next turn is 7 gold, possibly 8. Huntress might be the safest option, but Tiny Basilisk might also be OK if codexnewb’s going to push for Zane + weenies. Not great against Lobbers, though. I’ll go for double Huntress, I’d like a Ferocity but there’s a chance that Argagarg doesn’t die here.

let’s tech one of each since i wont have the reshuffle quite yet. we’re both going to have pretty bloated decks.

Starting hand: 4

Rampant Growth
Huntress

Spore Shambler

Thoughts

Not looking good, between a mid-level Zane and the Taxman it’ll be hard to deny gold. I might be able to patrol with Huntress and midband Argagarg to get risk getting Tech II up now, but any significant amount of damage coming out of codexnewb’s hand and I’d be as good as dead. The alternative is that I hold out for the Verdant Tree next turn, but that’ll be too late to scramble for an offense if he goes for Gunships. I think I delay Tech II for a turn and block up with what I can: Water Elemental, Huntress. Then I put down a Heroes’ Hall, so if I get a Technician draw I might be able to bring out a Moment’s Peace or a Ferocity.

What do I want for Tech II? Growth would be nice, but I might not have time. I think I might be better off going for Balance II and starting with a Faerie Dragon, because I’m current having problems with codexnewb’s attackers surviving. Mimics would be a good followup if he’s going for Anarchy.

This is a stressful patrol choice. Even Argagarg can be killed by Zane if he’s shoved, so there’s no great option for Squad Leader. On the other hand, if Argagarg is in Squad Leader he can be killed for free, if codexnewb has other plans for dealing with the units, so I think I want the Elemental there instead. Best place to put him, I think, is in Scavenger slot, to make getting a gold steal difficult. Then Elemental goes in Squad Leader, and Huntress goes in Elite or Technician, depending on where I want Zane to go. Elite looks good, it means codexnewb has choice to make: Zane trades with Huntress and Taxman can only kill the Elemental, or Zane kills the Elemental and Taxman can only trade with Huntress, or Zane helps kills Argagarg and both my units survive before damage from hand.

Thoughts

No Ferocity, but at least I didn’t draw the Dragon either. I’m expecting Surprise Attack + Tech II with that amount of float, so throwing down everything I can plus the Tree seems like a good idea. Alternative is that codexnewb plays Maximum Anarchy into Rambaster / Lobbers, in which case I’m in serious trouble. It would be odd when his board position’s general been better than mine, but he’d be justified in expecting me to play it. I think I just have to take the risk.

Still worried about Gunships. I think I go for Polymorph: Squirrel again, and hope the Dragon can help me cope until then, if codexnewb does go for Anarchy. He surely can’t be going for Fire again. The Ferocity should help if he goes for Blood.

Lobbers in hand allow for easy Argagarg kill anywhere, so let’s just worry about Sharks. I think the important thing is maximising the number of defenders that hit back for 3 damage, to get rid of that Taxman. Putting a hero in Elite helps with that, but Argagarg and Merfolk Prospector can’t do that. So Argagarg is just here to wall up and help me try and have a board, and Merfolk Prospector is there to protect the backline.

hmm, i can go down to 4 so long as i get the resuffle. killing midori is huge to avoid moment’s peace next turn, drak will probably die, but if he lives…it’s great.

teching shoddy glider to deal with that tree, and PGC to keep the pressure up. fingers crossed i dont draw him next turn…

P2T5

Starting hand: 3

Ironbark Treant

Huntress

Thoughts

Oh, he’s going for Blood. This could be a rough turn, then: I get to choose between having no patrol and leaving Drakk alive. Leaving the patrol empty isn’t a horrendous option against Crashbarrows when you have a board presence, but I don’t. The alternative is to skip a worker, exhaust the Prospector, and put down the other Huntress. That’s still a board a single Crashbarrow can get through with Drakk’s help, then maxband Drakk + second Crashbarrow destroy Tree + Tech II. Oh, but codexnewb doesn’t have enough gold for that. OK, in that case it could be pretty good. Besides, if I kill Drakk a single Crashbarrow + midband Zane still destroys Tree + Tech II.

Teching in Moment’s Peace to deal with Blood II. I do need to worry about Pirate Gang Commander, since codexnewb showed in the warmup that he’s willing to jump to Blood III. Maybe that Polymorph will come in handy after all. Maybe a second Dragon, so I can give Huntresses flying to help deal with Commanders / Bugblatters? I won’t be getting haste for Mimics often, so Dragons might be the way to start off. Hopefully I can tech the other Peace in quickly.

This patrol is nice for bonuses, but I’m in trouble if codexnewb’s picked up a Kidnapping. Fingers crossed.

Wandering Mimic

Thoughts

I was seriously considering going for Tech III after seeing codexnewb’s turn, but drawing a Mimic gives me slightly better options to play on the board with Ferocity. The question is whether I should, given it could be killed by Glider + Zane shove. I could also play the Shambler to give it runes, but I can’t do both. It’s a bit better against Glider, but shove + Crashbarrow kills both of them and leads to a Tech kill. I just have to risk the Glider here.

Workering Spore Shambler over Rampant Growth, if this becomes another air base race I’ll need something that can target Midori.

hmmmm, well, tech up i guess? tower will help against stealth Cal, but she will give stealth to mimic as well.

they can stealth Cal/Mimic and kill drak, but id rather make them pay for that than just drop a fairy dragon and kill drak for free.

fingers crossed no fairy dragon, midori, moments peace. that would throw a wrench in my engine.

Here we go again.

Thoughts

I can kill Drakk or the Bugblatter with the Mimic after I play Faerie Dragon, or I could just go for the base, with just Mimic, or with Calamandra too if I give her stealth. I don’t think the latter is worth yet, until I can draw into Dinosize to finish him off. I can put the remaining gold into Midori, then codexnewb can’t suicide Jaina without midbanding a hero, unless he maxbands her first or plays a spell. Oh, but Jaina can just shoot the Dragon with her maxband ability. OK, I’ll midband Calamandra to give my units resist, just in case. Oh, or I just bring out Argagarg too, since I have the Heroes’ Hall, let’s keep codexnewb guessing which hero I want. Maxband Zane + midband Jaina lets codexnewb kill all my heroes without losses though, let’s not do that.

Or maybe it’s worth killing Jaina, and maxbanding Cal? Then I could threaten a Predator Tiger to walk past the incoming Pirate tokens. That just trades with Bugblatter without help, though, and I’ve got plenty of units to choose from next turn already. Let’s just go for the base.

Teching in the other Dinosize, anything else I need? Maybe the other Polymorph: Squirrel or the other Mimic? I’d rather not, I’ve got a decent deck already so let’s keep it thin.

Midori goes in Technician, since I can already afford to bring in maxband + Argagarg + Dragon if my patrolling heroes get wiped. Which they probably will, if codexnewb thinks it’s worth slowing down his engine.

option 1- Big Board Dimplomacy

gg10
zane->cal, midori L4 (8)
drak kills cal, jaina to lvl 3
mid jaina (7)
jaina->midori, goes to lvl 6
max jaina, heals (6)
pirate gang commander, gains haste(0)
crashbarrow for free
barow dies end of turn, their base to 10

pro - huge board
con - leaves 8 atk flying, and haste on my board. they can drop second mimic to nearly kill my base


Option 2 - Hero’s Only - No Haste

same, but max jaina and no units to keep haste off the board

pro - no haste on board, strong hero’s, large gold float, tech double surprise attack for huge swing turn.
con - leave mimic on board, 8 flying atk, can still play second mimic.


Option 3 - Strong Hero’s - Haste - Clear Board

gg 10
max zane (3)
shove Cal to scav
Zane kill Cal, we both get gold, jaina to lvl 3 (4)
drak kills midori, jaina to lvl 5,
max jaina, tap, kill wandering mimic (2)
bombaster, gains haste (0)

pro - kill mimic, several max hero’s, shoddy glider next turn to kill fairy dragon.
con - haste on board


I think Option 3 is best. if they can play a second mimic either way, there is no real net risk of leaving haste on the board. at least this way i get to swing back with Zane and make them pay for the second mimic

tech-wise, i need some options. i think burning volley and maximum anarchy would be best. help to get at that base-health even when moment’s peace comes back.

Maaaybe.
