[MMM1] WARM-UP: Red (FrozenStorm) vs White (CodexNewb)

Codex Codex play-by-forum
143

yeah, I didn’t want to rely on Drakk being up but I think usually when I play too heavy around Snapback, I end up worse off. I could have played better for an incremental advantage. I feel like maybe Desperation needs to see more early use, especially as P2. Would help counter the Hero + t1 spam white succeeds on

Whacha think? I’m okay to start the series but wouldn’t mind one more pair of warm-ups

145

one more pair works for me! feel free to post your T1

146

Mmk cool, let’s each get one more shot at P2 to see a little more draw variance. GL HF!

My Thoughts

Hmm. The more I think about it the more I wonder if putting a hero out is really advisable. Rook + Monk P2T1 as a response is tough to counter, same for Grave depending on what I lay.

But I think maybe w/ Sparkshot, we can make Jaina work. Maxing her early is risky w/ Snapback but I’m going to try playing less against Snapback

147

sounds good!

okay, it’s not the worst thing in the world if they draw both gunships because of the tech draw. i just need to put the pressure on them to tech up…

10% chance they draw both as is

18% chance they draw both with tech

even a max drak with haste shinanigans isn’t that scary if they skip tech 3 for a turn. so let’s clear board and wall up.

float the gold because there really isnt any better place for it right now.

what to tech? im so tempted to double down on earthquake or FDS, but it just doesnt seem smart. ill go with other spells for now to have options.
