The classic way to fight Truth is card depletion, but yay surplus + technician slot just feed my hand incredibly fast :smile_cat:
Mono Red kinda lacks of something to deal with my technician patrollers without increasing my hand ! Shadow Blade, Rewind and Entangled Vines/Thunderclap are almost mandatory against Truth units, especially assisted with Quince + Mirrors :slight_smile:

So you summoned 7, I wiped 5 … bad deal, methinks.

Just a reminder to both sides that having Hotter Fire x2 makes Ember Sparks deal 5 damage divided among up to 3 targets.

Remember, Drakk dealt 3 to your base, when you killed him. I’m afraid though that is not enough…

This is an interesting puzzle. I bet, you solved it for yourself, when you made that turn (having all the information).

I am always just one gold or one unit damage (or, naturally, 2 base damage) short of winning …

So tense! :astonished:

Hold onto your pants, I think I solved it. :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot, for the game. So close! This had all the ups and downs for me. Alternations confident and desperate.

One damage less and you would have steamrolled me. I see you have that Gryphon in your hand …

Anyways, let me know if you’re in for a casual match sometime. :smiley_cat:

Speaking about EotC … do you perceive it as an asset or a liability? Because, it’s nice to have all the information, but it also demands that you use all the information. I think that might be too much for me to “play two turns simultaneously” in my head to optimize my possible move to your possible move.

Hm, on the other hand, I already have to take your possible hand cards into account and that’s an even larger possibility space …
