Thoughts
I’m think Grappling Hook lets me kill the Skeleton with a midbanded Grave, then I can trade the Twin with Twilight Baron. I’d have 4 gold left over, so I’ve got a few options:
- Tech II. I only have Grave left on the board, and reshuffle into 1 card at the end of the turn. I’d rather overplay cards now, and delay reshuffling for a turn.
- Heroes’ Hall + Sparring Partner / Bone Collector. I can stash Martial Mastery, and don’t reshuffle, so can tech in Lich’s Bargains too. Ideal if I can get by next turn playing Tech II + Bigby next turn, maybe a 1-cost unit too.
- Sparring Partner + Bone Collector / Morningstar Flagbearer. This puts me so low on cards that I’d want Eric to kill a Technician for me, and I can’t stash Martial Mastery. Not ideal.
There’s a good chance EricF has Sacrifice the Weak in hand, so whether Bone Collector or Sparring Partner are better for pressure might be rather moot, in which case I might as well play the cheaper option. Still lots of ways this could go wrong, Eric has a lot of float.
