This is slightly ambiguous, is td in scav or elite?

Ah sorry! He’s in Scavenger and he’s just his usual printed 1/1 self. I had him in Elite, but then realised with Sensei’s Advice, or Safe Attacking Savior Monk could safely kill him, even in the Elite slot. So I shifted him into Scavenger, but failed to remove the +1 from his ATK.

Gotta kill grave because he can maxband and hoik his sword at Oni. Not going to have Art of War up next turn.
Tempting to get Newsman out here as well… Reversal is about the only thing that’ll ruin a tooled up Oni’s day. But Grave just went back to the command zone, and keeping hand size will mean I’m more likely to keep Art of War up.

Bah! Newsman! and tons of blockers! Bah! Wish I had bird’s nest here, but as it stands, I think instamax sets and bring in FDS + float a bunch is the best call to make. Hopefully I can FDS + Earthquake, though more likely I’ll get Rook killed blocking here. Possible Sets dies if there’s a MTruth in aki’s hand
Edited to account for the Setsuki tax!

Ok, maxband Sets. Didn’t expect that.
So looking at Frozen’s hand, I reckon the Bird’s are going to get played. And workering an Earthquake. Maxband Grave is $8 too expensive, so I reckon the twnis’ll make an appearance. Grave’ll probably come out so he can be maxxed and tapped next turn… or maybe Tech 2? We’ll see.
Free Speech is going to be required, so I’ll put the other one in. And um, Eyes of the Chancellor… don’t think I’ve played with that before.
@FrozenStorm’s turn!
sets not patrolling, so you have to pay 1 every time you attack her
2 Likes
Indeed, you will be 1 gold short of killing Sets as things stand, so you’ll need to skip reteller or maxing bigby (which maybe you drew reteller that way? and maybe you wouldn’tve maxed him knowing you had less gold to use?)
LMK how you wanna fix things!

Argh, sorry about that. Thanks for catching that guys. How about I skip a worker, and spend my floated $1 to leave the turn otherwise intact?

Truth is complex! I reckon there’s probably more effective ways of going about this turn, but with White’s hero-centric strategy, I think the best approach is to try and keep them under wraps.
With Speech being Free I don’t have to protect Newsy here quite so much. Glorious Ninja, or maybe Porcupine may come off the deck here for Frozen, but neither poses a massive threat right now.
@FrozenStorm’s turn!
I just see a minor issue: Levels don’t fizzle for onis death, grave will get them. Still though, I don’t think I can come back from that, so I’ll scoop. GG WP!

Well I have to say, it’s nice to rack up a win - it’s been a pretty grueling series so far.
On review it seems like something reasonably lucky went my way baaasically every turn this game.
T1 - You didn’t get a great opening hand, and I was lucky to get Traffic Director No 1-drops as Blue P2 can be tough. All up - I was able to get Oni out safely.
T2 - You ended up working Grappling Hook.
T3 - You didn’t have Snapback against maxxed Oni.
T4 - I strongly considering playing Newsman to block … Reversal. Didn’t think of Snapback. 
T5 - I managed to pull Newsy again and got the hint that Earthquake was coming. I was also holding Hound and Macciatus with was pretty handy after Tech II coming online.
Things get less “lucky” here because I’m looking at your hands. But still …
T6 - I happened to be holding MTruth and was able to get to Setsuki. Scribe, Lawful Search and maxband Bigby all lined up for a big impact.
T7 - Eyes of the Chancellor and Free Speech were about the best cards in my deck to and out they came via card draw shennanigans.
I ain’t the greatest player, but it feels to me like Blue has to get a bit lucky in this matchup. Time will tell if P1 is a different story - I’ll start a thread shortly.
