Mixing it up a bit and grabbing 2x BC this game, going into a 5/3. Probably going to do two of Graveyard, HH, Midband, and BC, depending on draw

It’s a little ambitious, but I’m aiming straight for Garrisons to replenish my hand size. If the Tech II goes down, hopefully that means the Tower doesn’t, and vice versa.

[details=My Thoughts]
Setting up a turn 6 meta by grabbing a hero’s hall here. He’s probably got another Scribe in hand, possibly Lawful Search also. He probably put 2x Garrison in last turn (or Garrison + OC). I could break his tech 1 with a vandy maxband, and that would likely be very difficult to reply to. But instead I’m going to lay the other BC and the Soul Stone to break the tower, grab another Dark Pact and Nether Drain to ENSURE I can maxband + hero + tech 2 + worker, and then hopefully he won’t get the Garrison on the draw here. Even if he does though, getting meta on a ready Garth + Vandy is going to make for a bad day for him.

I really don’t like feeding levels to Vandy, but with the Scribe fetching Manufactured Truth of all things, I have no other means to stall.

With my Tech II down, that’s probably game, but if I can manage to keep it intact for just 1 turn, I can try to make a comeback. I’ll try to use the Scribe to pull out the Newsman to block Metamorphosis.
