Interesting, he skips tech 1 to gum me up with an inspector? I can afford the tax, and Orpal in Elite makes for no easy trades. I’m going to go a little heavier at units first cycle, just to get to tech 2 ASAP and roll on the hero pressure then.

I’m gonna see if I can get smoother results by using Garrisons/Cadets/Knights as a draw engine before venturing into more esoteric strategies.

Jail makes a juicy target for Death and Decay, so let’s just play that line. He left it open enough, and Free Speech is a little too expensive for him to block well while doing, leaves me opening to tech 3. This matchup is so unfair to blue…
[/details]

26

Did you mean my Tech II is at 4 HP? If not, I don’t see where the other point of damage came from.

27

Yes, 4hp, math is hard!

Thoughts

Thought about getting Free Speech, but I want the +1/+1 counters to cure/prevent disease. Free Speech is a top priority, though. If possible, I want to get rid of that Vandy before she can ult, so I can avoid teching Eyes. If the opportunity presents itself, I want to Manufacture Truth a Cadet into a Knight, suicide it, and recast the Cadet for free.

Your Pestering Haunt isn’t untargetable, so Vandy’s maxband should hit it.

You are correct, I changed to hit Bigby so he stays fresh and clean!

Tech 3, he’s still behind on workers, I have to mitigate the Jail for units (and Zarra is not as appealing when he costs a lot and his arrives doesn’t work out of the Jail). So let’s go with Plague Lords, he can continue to spend resources on Free Speech and I can slowly build a win off units through the jail. Grindy but it’s the right call, he can kill the graveyard if he likes…

…

Rough draw getting both D&D and no Lord, but a crow and Ghoul can probably open things up a bit

Keep Manufactured Truth, and use on Overeager Cadet when something needs to die. I expect to need air defense, and soon. Unit stealing spells may be my best option; alternately copies of the Spectral Aven may be necessary. Tax Collector may be worth considering, and/or $1 illusions. A desperate way to stop a Tech III would be to bring the General’s Hammer down on my own jail before it gets released. Sometime soon I want to get Macciatus and Dreamscape in play, but it’s probably best to tech in at least 2 more illusions first.

"

35

Manufactured truth can only copy tech 0 or 1 units, you’ll need to re-tool your attack a bit for the Cadet not to turn into a Drill Sergeant

36

You’re right. Oi, what an oversight. :anguished: It’s too late to change the cards I played, so I’ll have to settle for this.

37

This is about as good as stall as Blue can play, well done!

Okay rough draw for this hand, no lord, but next turn should be able to get it, and putting a Crow and a Ghoul down gives me good flexibility to break things next turn (hopefully Quince, he’s who really needs to die to unlock the game)

Okay we got two units in hand, should be able to make good progress next turn

[details=My Thoughts][spoiler]
Cheeky kill on Vandy, not great for me but also not terrible, it maxes quince out so no more healing. Plague Lord and company will hopefully be able to close things out (especially if I can stick graveyard or he lets up on Free Speech to get D&D to the face).

I’m grabbing a surplus and putting more units in the deck (first time teching Crypt Crawler? he’s built for removing Aven so why not, and Gorgon helps replenish card deficit of jail) to help break this stall, but I think he’s running out of steam.

Don’t use Mind Control, because it’s incompatible with Dreamscape. Tech up ASAP.
