Clear the board, put enough damage on Drakk that he doesn’t want to snapback, play for gunship? So boring but also always seems like the right call

My Thoughts

I feel like I can slam everything, break the tech2, throw Jaina in front as a blocker, and play for Gunship just fine, or I could double break techs using Zane while killing the grave, if I really wanted to be spicy. Probably makes more sense to tech up though, so I think that’s the way. 40% to draw a Gunship. If I whiff it and Grave does a double-up, that’ll be rough, but hopefully we’ll be able to deal.

correction 2: no savior monk, rambasa twins instead.

GG WP! I had just enough to buy the space for it, whiffing the first draw was not ideal but I was fairly certain I had enough space to pull it off.
