Thoughts

I would’ve really liked to draw an Injunction here…
Playing Quince last turn may have been a mistake. Bigby could’ve at least swung back. All Quince can do is make patrol fodder. HolyTispon shouldn’t be able to afford Rewind yet, so that might slow him down at least.
I’m keeping my heroes in the backline to avoid giving free levels, so that maxband-ing Prynn would be expensive. There’s a chance that Oni will survive, then next turn I could use Injunction (+Arrest if needed) to clear the way for him and swing at something important.
I kinda want to tech a Gryphon, but there’s almost no chance I’ll use my gold next turn to tech up (with or without Truth tech lab). Flagstone Spy is a halfway decent substitute, considering the momentary absence of a tower.

Thoughts

With Seers unavailable and Time Spiral (and Temporal Research) in discard, HolyTispon has no way to add runes to Prynn. I am worried about him having Rewind though. In fact, I’m worried enough to avoid playing my 2nd Air Hammer, and tech up instead (should’ve teched a Gryphon over Spy last turn after all…)
Air Hammer hits Prynn to make sure she dies on the next turn, one way or the other. Bigby goes in SQL, but he could still be killed by Nullcraft, so I won’t stash the other Injunction.

Thoughts

Injunction is annoying, though expected. Perhaps I should have gone for the tech 2o on that one turn where I had a break - too late now. Teching some targeting spells and waiting for the Gryphons to hit the board. He skipped over the Garrisons so I can worker the Assimilate to get better draws.

You can only summon Geiger after Prynn dies, so you won’t be able to maxband him+float 2.

Your’e right, I’ll edit my turn. You can proceed as if I didn’t float the 2.

Thoughts

I could kill Geiger with Elite Training on the Air Hammer, but again this seems to be a case where it’s better to just let him be. Granted, HolyTispon can play a 2nd hero next turn thanks to HH, but Free Speech mitigates that threat. I’m expecting a Stewardess to pop my Mirror (thereby increasing my odds of drawing a Gryphon from ~65% to ~75%, not counting Lawful Search and Scribe). Probably also tech 2, and a couple of blockers.
…
After the draw: well, I still got the technician and Scribe draws to look forward to… Worst case scenario, I play Flagstone Spy and fill my patrol with Mirrors.

I think this is over…

Thoughts

I didn’t get my sentry for anti-air, and I got no other flyers. So this is probably over. My only chance is if he does’t have any Gryphons in hand which is vey unlikely. I considered bouncing the mirror with the stewardess but it seems that giving him another draw is worse than letting the mirror copy that air hammer. But this might just be a moot point.

I didn’t bounce your mirror so you won’t get a technician draw which I was worried can get you the gryphons, though I knew you had many other ways to draw as well. GG. Thanks for indulging me. I’ll start game 6 soon.
