Alright Black V White, Metamorph tricker with SB at play. Maybe Ill try to copy Jakeā€™s game with Frozena nd go for disease? Skeles still seems like a reasonable choice as well. Ill probably want to grab a DG with BC first either way, Maybe second tech PS if he goes birds/Rook with another DG

Gg WP discarding snapback and hidden ninja destroyed my chances to counterplayā€¦

GG WP, I really thought I had it made earlier, but you had some solid plays to fend me off. Tough going against black, I feel like youre always a bad draw or 1 missed patrol away from disaster

Indeed, @EricF Iā€™m 0-2 in the p2 positionā€¦

On P1 turn 8, did you make the same mistake of letting someone attack non-patrolling Setsuki without paying gold? Given that he ended up floating I doubt it affected the match, but you should keep an eye on that :smile:

Yes, I did, thank you for pointing it out. Thereā€™s a lot to keep track of :wink: Hindsight, it would have left Youngbuck one gold shy of discarding my two cards, one of the two of Snapback and Hidden Ninja, which would have either delayed metamorph or given it one less target.

Itā€™s my fault and Iā€™m taking my loss for this game for my own failure to check my opponentā€™s moves, but Iā€™d be interested in an alternative turn 9 from @Youngbuck where there was one less gold for our own reflection on how our gameplans might have gone differently

Haha, I only noticed because I usually follow your games due to the detailed notes you leave about your thought process each turn.

Glad to do them! It helps me resume my train of thought when thereā€™s long breaks between games, it really helped me learn when others did it so I feel obliged to pay it forward, and it ultimately helps me in situations like these where people find my mistakes for me and help me get better!
