Good, the Flagbearer is gone, time to Drill Sergeant! Letā€™s seeā€¦ I think I should block $2, 'cuz Birdā€™s nest, Mythmaking, Hidden Ninja, Thunderclap, Versatile Style. She didnā€™t go Discipline, so with the Sparring Partner down, she canā€™t increase Setsukiā€™s health, so 4 attack should be enough of a deterrentā€¦ actually, 3, with the Towerā€¦ wait, no, gotta factor in her swift strikeā€¦ so I need 4 health as well. I barely have enough.

Iā€™ll save the Newsman for next turn; against Rook Iā€™m on guard against Birdā€™s Nest and Thunderclap. I suppose I could slip in the Inspector as well, to interfere with his Tech I, but Iā€™d need to delay mine to do soā€¦ which wouldnā€™t slow down my progress towards my Tech II, but the question is, am I willing to wait for my Tech I units? Which cards do I want to tech? Bigbyā€™s spells are all best used in the mid- or late-game, and if I canā€™t afford a Tech I, I definitely canā€™t afford a Heroesā€™ Hall. Then again, if Iā€™m playing 3 cards, I probably wonā€™t draw both techā€™d cards and can simply stash one next turn if needed. Guess Iā€™ll go for it, with Scribes to replenish my hand. Seems interesting.

This would be a good time to have MTruth in hand, not worth trying to pull it with LSearch, though. An Arrest would work almost as wellā€¦ still not worth pulling for it, though, as I risk drawing the other Scribe and having nothing to worker. Gotta pack my patrol zone a bit to guard against Rookā€™s midband. As for my tech choicesā€¦ I feel like continuing the draw cycle theme with Boot Camp, though I feel like Flagbearers should maybe be a higher priority, to guard against stuff like Graveā€™s sword, Entangling Vines, and even Grappling Hook (which would be an even trade after collecting a patrol zone bonus).

I probably should have ignored his Tech II, sidelined his SQL and used the Avens to kill the Twins. At least I got him to use his Sword.
