My Thoughts

Given that this will likely be a skeletons game, I’m going to opt for Bloodburn. We’ll see if that proves foolish…

Okay, full steam ahead on burning it down, tempted to go Ember Sparks even but will stick to GPT instead I think. Stealing gold rules

Copy pasta or did you miss the Thieving Imp discard?

I did totally ignore the discard, I will re-do turn… Imp didn’t hit Dog though so no fundamental changes @charnel_mouse , proceed

Hotter Fire and another Lobber, keep the board light for him, try to protect against StW we’ll see how it goes

P2T3

Starting hand: 3

Graveyard
Sacrifice the Weak
Bone Collector

Thoughts

Bloodburn and Lobber are going to be a pain with Hotter Fire coming in. I wonder whether it’s worth having a Sneaky Pig around for Jaina, or to help the Haunt take out a Firehouse. If I tech one Pig and one Skeleton Lord, that leaves me one of each to fetch. I just need some room to build the Tech Lab, can’t afford it this turn. Not happy about having to discard the Graveyard here.

Teched cards: 2

T2: 2 x Bone Collector
T3: Sneaky Pig, Skeleton Lord

Get paid - (7)
Worker - (6)

@charnel_mouse :
You don’t have access to Bashing Units. Only Vandy and her spells are substituted. You have to tech differently!

I’m going to keep forgetting that, aren’t I? Thanks, I’ll need to think it over.

I’ll assume you don’t need to wait for my turn to consider how you correct those techs too much :wink:
