My thoughts

I think Blood will match up nicely against Balance. Glider trades favorably with Faerie Dragon, and Crashbarrow trades favorably with most anything else. Thankfully, all my hasty guys are ephemeral so I don’t have to worry about sudden hasty Mimics. Shoddy Glider has an interesting interaction with Mimics though - I’m kind of hoping for a trickshot where a playing a Glider causes a patrolling Mimic to fly and allows a Crashbarrow to run through underneath.

Debated what to do with my remaining 2 gold - float it and draw 5, hero, Graveyard, or BC. Decided against hero because Garth and Drakk would be too vulnerable (I have to be afraid of Battle Suits boosting Cadet), and I don’t want Arg right now. Graveyard is more useful long term than BC, and I’m calculating that he can’t knock it out without spending resources unfavorably.

My thoughts

In my musing about how Shoddy Glider would give Mimic flying, I missed that Nullcraft gives him flying and haste. Thankfully, he went for Tower/Graveyard instead of Tech II, and I drew Shoddy Glider off of Technician.

Some options:

  • Glider + Haunt kill Tech II, Crashbarrow kills Tech I. BC patrols. He keeps 5 flying damage + Cadet
  • Glider trades with Mimic. Crashbarrow kills Tech I or II. BC patrols. He keeps Nullcraft + Cadet
  • Glider trades with Mimic. Crashbarrow kills Tech I or II. Garth + Skeleton. Deteriorate Cadet and Haunt trades. He keeps Nullcraft

Last option seems the best. Will only draw 3, but next turn I’ll plan to spend most of my $ on heroes to make up that gap.

My thoughts

A placeholder turn from me, to follow up the placeholder turn from him. I don’t think Max Oni was a huge threat as a hero, but as a big body he could have done some damage. I’m mostly just trying to keep my Tech II alive until I can draw my Crashbarrows again.

minor note - my worker count wasn’t listed correctly last turn. It said 9+1 float, but should be 10.
