Unphase feels like a potential win here to get rid of Quince and/or the tech 2 and/or Macciatus, so going to grab that and Distortion. We’ll see how we do with that

My Thoughts
I’m definitely losing the Tech 2 next turn, so I’ll have to hope Hyperion lives also, not likely though with maxband Quince here to copy the Hyp… Tri is really the MVP and I didn’t draw it… Wait, if Tri is topdeck, I can swap it. That’s actually a banger… If not I Unphase Hyperion and just live with it. Teching Argo and Now!
…
Hit the 1/6, not bad! That leaves me way better off, no Hyperion to copy, Tri might live to TD also, Tech 2 much more likely to survive. This could be great
1 of 9 Hound seems nice but didn’t actually do me any good against Tri… My turn would’ve been the same without the 2nd Hound since I could’ve traded Hound before Whisperer and replayed to patrol. The 2nd Whisperer is just in time though and hopefully saves my day…

Fk I had meant to put tri in scav not techn, missed it by mistake, would that have changed your approach at all? I can redraw my draw 4 (really draw 3 since I swapped to topdeck) so it’s not unfair information

My Thoughts
Another Macciatus, UGHGHGHHGH. Okay though, I spose Tiger SQL would have also sucked (I’d be laying Hyperion just to TD it) Still though this makes for a nice spin + flicker, useful. I’m not too afraid of Quince with no Hyperion on the board, Oni as the combat veteran is the bigger threat so I think I kill him. Good deal
Glad to have helped, although plenty of that was you, I would not have teched the now so early and died to the quince mirrored dogs! Now you need to do the difficult part and keep it up as p1
You patrolled really well and I felt very lucky to hit the 1/6 on turn 5 for that Tric, I thought for sure I’d have to Unphase Hyperion to kill Macciatus and that would not have gone nearly as well without the Tric to block.
I am curious though about how Quince’s midband functions w/ Unphase: If you can’t see Hyperion til my next upkeep, are you not allowed to copy it? That could be a great way for me to get a wrinkle opening for Hyperion. I wonder if that’s been asked in the rules question thread, I’ll take a look and ask it if it hasn’t
Yeah I can’t think of a good written rule reason for why it wouldn’t be copyable but theme wise it does feel really bad and wrong, yeah? The idea of “invisible” is you can’t tell it’s there, copying it would go against the spirit of that in a real “feels bad man” way
We’re discussing how, as written, nothing really prevents you from just naming any tech2 unit you like and making a mirror a “copy” of it. Like can you copy a Void Star even if I haven’t played one? Can you copy Terras Q, The Shackled in our game even when I’m not playing Demonology? Why not? It’s a tech 2 unit
