Thoughts

Wow, I can’t imagine a worse starting hand against Black’s opening… I have no idea what to do here. I expect to lose a card to an Imp, too, and Temporal Research will probably be a long time coming. Maybe my dumb-looking opening will confuse jasonwocky and present a later opportunity?

Another option was to play Battlesuits and float two gold, so I could play Fading Argonaut and Neoplexis, and try to recover with a 3/3 and a 3/2

Match: jasonwocky vs Ryjak (so I don’t get confused later)

Starting Hand and Thoughts

Summon Skeletons, Deteriorate, Sacrifice the Weak, Graveyard. I could Deteriorate the Tinkerer and carry a damage over to Geiger, but a) that’s staying down a card for a reversable effect, and b) I actually want Jandra to take some damage so that I can kill her off soon. So I won’t do that.

Thoughts

Should have gone with BattleSuits and two Soldiers. With 6+ damage coming my way, I need to turtle, so Tower or two Cards? My opponent has Tech 1 built, so Tower probably bad… Maybe Tower and Argonaut next turn? Don’t see building Tech II T3, which is the real advantage of P2.

I’m really sorry; I have to withdraw from this event. I should have practiced the PbP
Format first.
