I think this is the best I can do. All I can do is hope I survive now.

GG. I’m too far behind to recover

GG! I have a hard time telling the state of the board as far as advantage goes, unless is painfully obvious. I figured most of my stuff was low enough health that I needed to worry about any kind of burn coming in. I kept 1 of those Bugblatter guys alive and got nervous. They seem like a unit you either need to get rid of ASAP, or you die to it. I’m wondering if I will keep using the same combination. I basically just used Zane for the haste haha. Thank you for being my first forum opponent!

Worrying about burn against mono Red is pretty reasonable. You want to play again?

This doesn’t seem like a great opening hand, especially vs Red. looks like I’ll be on the defensive for a bit. Putting tiger cub in SQL so they have to use at least 2 cards to deal with it. Charge gives it the +1, but we still trade, which is good. Mad Man + one of their other dudes trades with it. Dog attack into Jaina ability/attack also trades with one at least. Wisp in Scavenger because ramp is good, and if they want to use Jaina’s midband on a wisp I’m ok with that.

Hmmm. I could try YT and drawing into Rampant growth. That would kill his Jaina and heal Arg up. Even Drawing Forest’s Favor might be pretty good here allowing Arg to kill the Rambaster at least. My other option is Ironbark and PP into tech 1? I think trying to get rid of a hero/unit would be worth it. And I lost the 50/50 : /. This is a pretty lackluster turn unfortunately

@Nopethebard I forgot to add my tech 1 to my buildings last turn or…this turn I guess. Not sure if that changes anything?

Lets’s see here. Pros of keeping Jaina alive: Keeps them on Jaina and can’t Hire Zane or Drakk unless they can kill Jaina on their own. I could go for early base damage or try and keep them a turn behind by killing their Tech 1. Cons: They get Fire magic online. The direct burn is actually pretty good for getting rid of my beefier stuff. and discourages me from playing tokens. I think I will Kill Jaina after all. with 9 Gold next turn they have a lot of damage they could do. I don’t think I’m worried about Zane or Drakk coming down next turn. Now thinking about it Drakk + Kidnapping could be really bad here. might even follow up with Brogre. This could be a rough turn.

Ok. Teched Fire. Probably looking at Jaina again next turn then. Oh…or that Arrives 3 damage guy. that would be bad. I probably need to turn up the aggression and try and out race him if I can.

I have finally recovered board control. If the Lizzos survive, I can use them + some smaller unit action to threaten the tech buildings. If not, I can at least get momentum off the many workers and my hand. I think he’s probably going for Gunships, which gives me some time. The only way I can see him immediately getting rid of the Lizzos is if he has Anarchy Lizzos and/or Disguised Monkeys, which seems unlikely to me.

Ok. I was talking about ONE of them, not both aat the same time. That’s brutal. I have the perfect answer this turn, but its just a catch up turn really. Kidnapping is still something I have to worry about ( I just don’t like my stuff jacked). If this next turn from them is direct burn I could be in trouble. I could also just try and hold the line. Not trade anything thing and just see if I live. That seems really risky though. I’m at 16 so burn to get rid of both Arg and Treant they need 7 burn, which, isn’t too farfetched with them teching into Fire. Haste guys I have seen so far are just from the starter only i’m pretty sure. Let’s go all in and just see what happens I think. Please please please don’t have Pillage or pretty much any combination of burn spells. I would be very sad.

Well, the unexpected came to pass. All that floated gold makes me nervous because I don’t know why he didn’t spend it. The only expensive thing in Anarchy is a Boosted Marauder, which could be Trouble. If that doesn’t happen, Drakk can maxband which will allow Molting Firebird to immediately take out his tech 2 while doing a little damage to everything on his board. After that, Hotter Fire can let me turn up the heat on it. I think I’m almost there.

I think I’m going to call GG here. With what I have I can’t deal with Drakk, and giving you another card killing Firebat seems bad. Red has some big dudes and the 2 units I can make come in Exhausted. I just don’t see how I come back from this. If YT could attack it might have been different but oh well.
