Thoughts
Irony of ironies, Iām not that worried about Stampede. Itās a biggish board but not that big. Dinosize is a threat, though.
I can actually build t3 and kill both heroes with the following line:
summon Zane (2), Jaina kill River, take 3, level Zane to 3, taxman kill elemental (steal scavenger 1), max Zane (3), shove Arg into scavenger and kill (gain 1), Tech 3, 2 left over. Can summon Drakk after Jaina dies, will end with 0 gold.
End result: 4/2 l6 Zane, 1/3 l3 Drakk patrolling, t3 up
Any tricky plays I can make with Chaos Mirror? They canāt really use cards from the hand; I donāt have haste options.
instead of building t3, I canā¦ totally fail to get to blooming ancient. Thatās fine. Iāll build t3.
The most CM can do next turn to deal with patrol is Midori (2), bloom (2), wither (2), shift the Midori rune from ancient to wisp and kill Drakk, Ancient can hit something for 2, including Zane. 4 free gold, 1 card left. Can max Midori and worker. Can alternatively play a unit. wandering Mimic can drop as a 5/5 to smash T3ā¦ Wait no, itās balance. PHEW. The only way my T3 goes down, then, is Nimble Fencer. T3 down, Midori patrol, Zane lives.
In that eventuality, dropping a single Marauder as a tech seems reasonable. How does that effect odds?
With two marauders, probabilityā¦
Drawing at least one gunship
2 cards out of 15, 5 draws
1 - 13/1512/14ā¦9/11
1-(109)/(15*14) = 1-9/21, about 57%
Same percentage for drawing one marauder
With one marauder,
2 cards out of 14, 5 draws
1-12/1411/13ā¦8/10
1-(98)/(14*13) = about 60%
odds for drawing one marauder is 5/14, roughly 34%
For a 3% lower chance at gunship, I gain a 23% increased chance of a marauder to keep momentum if T3 falls. That seems like a good trade.
