I can’t guarantee anything survives here, so I’ll just get Aven out to try and snipe things before Drakk or Jaina come out to kill it. Building Inspector goes in Squad Leader purely so Mad Man can’t take him out.

Fencers would have been nice right now… I’ll just tech up now, while I can. If I can get a Guide out, I’ll be in better shape, and still be able to shift to attacking if zhavier goes for Anarchy. Stashing Arrest, so I can get another round of teching in.

Midband Bigby and the Fencers kill Drakk, but that still leaves Charge as an option for bringing in a Firebird with haste. I can’t leave Drakk out to haste things for free, though.
Firebirds can be dealt with using Leaping Lizard or Cloud Sprite. I’ll take at least one Lizard, since I don’t have anything particularly good on defence yet. The other one can be Star-Crossed Starlet or Injunction. I’ll go with Starlet, keep zhavier’s heroes on their toes.

Worker + Guide + Fencer leaves 3 gold. I can kill the Firebat with the Fencer and hit the Tech II for 3 with Bigby, or I can draw with Bigby first, and see what I get. It would be nice if I draw a good target for Manufactured Truth. I’ll have a go, I could do with trying to have a better board against that Firebird. Should have taken Elite Training.
Yuck. I can’t even bring in Onimaru to help defend here. If I’m really lucky, zhavier has no targeting spells in hand and the Firebird can’t pass the Aven. This game looks like it’ll come down to holding off Firebirds and Sharks. Brave Knight should be nice on the ground. For the Firebirds, I want Leaping Lizard or Cloud Sprite. The latter’s more dangerous in the face of Kidnapping.

I can pop aven with zane, bombaster or drakk hasted firebat. Mid Drakk means firebird can break techs so I should try to get that. Bombaster means i can use pillage to steal gold. Do I want more cards or to steal his gold?
