Playing Lich’s Bargain and making a Skeleton for blocker spam while I wait for Gunships to come round. But can also generate up to three additional draws (Young Treant, Garth’s mid on 2 Skeletons) to fish for a Gunship this turn, combined chance ~60% of hitting at least one.

…

Drew a Gunship on the first draw (Young Treant).

Tech III are supposed to be “it’s over” cards. Blue wrakness is that nothing it has can touch a tIII

24

The thing is none of them have even close to the same board impact the turn it comes down, and the ones that come even close cost nearly twice as much. It’s a poorly balanced card.

Agree with both of these. Gunships are the strongest of the Tiii bunch, and by quite a margin. But playing an Ebbflow Archon, Zarramonde, Liberty Gryphon, Moss Ancient, Oathkeeper, Guargum or T Rex instead at this point would still usually be enough to win the game. Also, Anarchy Tech 2 is OK but not dominating in the way some really strong Tech 2 specs are, so that’s a “cost” to set against the low cost of a Gunship. Or if using a Tech Lab, not being able to use the add-in slot for a Tower or Heroes Hall, and having a 4HP rather than 5HP building that the opponent need to destroy to stop you are also costs.

GG !

33

GG, quite a burst!

I’m still not sure what the hell to do about gunships. pretty much no other T3 answers it, and not much else can.

I guess if I had been able to hit injunction on your t2 with better timing that would have helped a lot.

Still working on this “control” spec

34

Yeah, was worried about Injunction hitting on T6, delay my Tech3 long enough for your Tech2 to get the upper hand.

On for another?

35

are you playing the same spec?

36

Yes, will play it again

37

let me think if i’m gonna change then

38

Same spec, I’ll see if it goes any better for me going p1

Shouldn’t your t1 cost 2?

You’re right, I’m floating 0 then
