Bro = idea to get an early hero kill. Do you see any heroes? i am not. So no Bro this turn. I will have a pillage next turn, so it’s ok for me to have him T1 and bad use of 1 gold(or steal it). Which hero to bring? Jaina is good for burning spell tech + possibility of ealy hero kill. Drakk can do things this way too. So what about 2 cards play next turn? i think a jaina play will be for burn spells, when there wouldn’t be really good targets for burn. So Drakk - because he does more different things.

two choices: neo plexus and Max or neo plexus and battle suits
battle suits means going down on a card and likely left with just a mox on the field; max i think could survive to next turn so i get his attack and maybe a Now! (ideally on a fargo) considering that there’s basically zero chance I could take out tech 1 even with a now!ed fargo I don’t think thats worth it
Interjecting here w/ a friendly reminder to update the sheet with results as you go (I covered the links to your warmups and first two games). Thanks very much!
Thank you @FrozenStorm, I’d been neglecting that with the idea that I’d do them when all my 5 games had finished but I guess it is more useful to others if I do them as we go
ideas: i’m player 2, can do fast T2. If no additional blocker this turn ==> lose my Drakk. But he will see 11 gold next turn. I guess he will fear for sharks! and patrol against it, like 2/3A fargo. That would be a window to install a T2, hero + 2 2-gold blockers… So what to tech? 2-gold blockers/sharks/OMG DETONATE/ t2 cards?
if i play a musheteer it would be a problem FOR ME, because he is too easy to be killed.
Before play my turn i’ve had 3 variants: DETONATEx2, T1 units x2, T2 unitsx2, but all there is problem - bad defence for Drakk.
I’ve found another way

pre-tech draw: if i get either argonaut or nullcraft with my tech draw, then im gonna forgotten fighter bombaster. if i get fargo I’ll hire to keep my deck small. teching in a PoP which i want next turn as I tech up, and a tech 2 for increasing my chances of drawing a tech 2 turn after
looks like fast-tech2 for both players. As i went for anarchy tech plus drakk on the table i want to have a 4/3 haste thiing on table + mid drakk - them will kill his T2

pre-peek: if i’m lucky I’ll get PoP, use that to get an argo and also build a tech lab and tech 2; if I don’t I’ll just hire neo plexus or nullcraft and either wall up or kill Drakk (and tech 2)
top of deck was PoP, am leaning towards using it and putting tricycloid in deck but alternative is using nullcraft to do more efficient trades, wipe his board and cross my fingers that he doesn’t have a tech 2 in hand; also IF he doesn’t have a tech 2 in hand having PoP in next turn might be nice, with temporal research in there could really do some dmg
looks like fast-tech2 for both players. As i went for anarchy tech plus drakk on the table i want to have a 4/3 haste thiing on table + mid drakk - them will kill his T2
Can kill his T2 two or three different ways, but can outplay stuardess, so could lost drakk/be puhised by now and lost my T2, with low amount of cards it wouldn’t be recoverable.
So defence, trying to stay alive for a turn or two.

my peek was not either tech 2 :((, if i go for temporal research and another peek i can get either tech 2…
if i get tricycloid: i could get tech 2 down if I don’t worker and use the extra gold on midbanding Vir (or I sacrifice Vir by killing Drakk first instead of paying for level and then attacking taxman with Vir)
if I get hyperion: no way I can get tech 2 down… i.e. not worth PoP 5 gold
I don’t like a 50% chance of a not even that great turn so not bothering with temporal research

only thing that let’s me get his tech building here is if I draw (or bring to the top of my deck) a PoP; if he has a gunship in hand then teching double time as he may not immediately kill Vir and that could jsut work if I can hold on
draw from hype: temporal distortion, would have been LOVELY if I hadn’t promised away 3g last turn
peek from Vir: YES! a PoP
