This is getting tense. With the large board I’ll get to activate MoLaC quickly, but will have trouble clearing up his Skeletons before he gets the chance to sneak in Lord of Shadows. Teching in 2xSurprise Attack hoping to win the Base Race. In retrospect, going Strength with DeGrey may have been the safer route. We’ll see.

Good draw for hasty activation, with MoLaC, Mad Man and Rambaster all in hand. Probably most draws with at least one of the MoLaCs in hand and one or both Surprise Attacks next hand would have been good enough, as he needs to sideline his Skeletons to play Lord of Shadows, leaving me the Base or at least a Lord of Shadows kill.

You listed Mad Man twice: I’m guessing one of them is Zane?
