Upon closer examination, Thunderclap can’t target flying units, so no need to use Newsman for that, although Versatile Style is still a potential threat if he makes room for Grave. I probably also should use the Newsman to block Mythmaking and Bird’s Nest if I have the opportunity, but right now I need to create space for the Newsman to survive. For now, I’ll float it in case I can afford to play him next turn. As for my tech choices… I need something that can’t be sidelined by Thunderclap, aka Brave Knight. I suppose it could fall victim to Entangling Vines, but that still works in my favor because of MTruth.

So, no option to float Newsman this turn… but that’s okay, I’ll just play it now. Now, what to tech…? Dreamscape seems iffy versus Snapback. So does Quince maxband, for that matter… which just means I need to be prepared to Free Speech Snapback, I suppose. Garrisons should be safe to play, but they don’t have great synergy with Brave Knight. Maybe I should give Law a try? Nah, Law is the worst at recon, and I’d prefer to avoid unnecessary Speech casts. Guess I’ll go Eyes and Speech to counter his magic.

Oh snap, Ninjutsu. I definitely need Eyes now! Guess I’ll use Search to check if I need an emergency Tower, and to get me 1 card closer to drawing Eyes. Let’s see… SQL Quince can stop his attack even if he maxbands, and he has no Hook. Snapback could be an issue, so I’ll use an Elite Knight as a backup. He won’t have enough gold to Snapback and then maxband, so this defense should protect my backline against everything except a sword rune, and if he goes that route, he can’t kill anything else this turn.

So I didn’t draw the Glorious Ninja. If Rook lives, I worker Bird Nest (Stupid newsman), maxband him, and play the Fox Den to prepare for the Glorious Ninja next turn. If he dies, I worker Bird Nest, drop in Sets and Maxband her, put down the school if I can kill a hero, then play the Sensei for a chump blocker.
Oh, I looked at your starting turn hand and thought it was your ending turn hand.

That’s good for me. Not so good for you.
Note for after the match
that means there wasn’t a trap in letting me make that play. I was worried about why you just let me do a play like that.
Sure, but you might want to consider using a less ambiguous spoiler label for your starting hand (e.g. “Starting Hand”) and/or placing the two hand spoilers closer together.

I’m ahead economically and on the board. I have 2 major threats incoming. The only thing is that Eyes of the Chancellor is likely going to be a thorn in my side. As long as my Tech 2 building holds, I think I’m on the way to victory.

It’s probably safe to delay Gryphons here, as Bigby will be available to float. Nice that Reversal is a Discipline spell, with Grave recently dead, she can’t even sacrifice Setsuki to resummon Grave. Shame I have to sacrifice Macciatus to defend, though.

Real shame to have drawn both Gryphons right out the gate, I can only stash one. Interesting that she chose to play the School when I have Eyes deployed… could be setting up an expensive combo, maybe… or maybe the plan is to destroy Eyes. She does have Style in hand, and a fair bit of combat strength to boot. I should use Speech to be safe. Guess I’ll go for Boot Camp next to combo with Dreamscape.

There’s a $2 fee for Ninja training. Also, Quince isn’t powerful enough to one-shot a Savior Monk.
