My Thoughts
Hm not really sure where the right way to go will be? Stewardess, Hound not too bad at tech1, tech 2 all options are fine but none ideal against Blood or Finesse engine (less likely IMO), Orpal win con not ideal against Drakk but also not terrible… Kidnapping a little bit of a risk with tech 2 plans… Will have to consider the options! Nothing obviously a great leverage point though

I have a pretty big economic advantage being P2 and mono-color. It might even be enough for a Charge play next turn.

My Thoughts
I think Truth T2/3 will be best, Bloodlust is the only big scary, and can pivot to Orpal maxband if needed. Going with a stewardess for momentum and a hound for future synergy. Maybe flagbearer would be better at T2? Idk maybe we’ll wait and see what all this float is about
And getting bigger

I could Charge Brogre to trade with Fargo or Musketeer to shoot down Nullcraft, but neither of those sound like they’re worth it. Since Frozen can’t break my tech 1 even with 2 Stewies, I’ll just keep floating for now.

Not getting huge value out of Discord, but still good to get rid of Nullcraft.
That Hound makes me expect a Truth plan from Frozen. I think Blood matches up better than Finesse, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to put enough pressure to keep Frozen off tech 3.

No point in breaking tech 2 again, Reteller and Macciatus don’t patrol any better than Hound or Stewie. From here on out it’s all about base damage.

GG WP! I was lucky to draw the 2 Crashbarrows spaced out, and that you left the Hound out for me to pop.
On a more meta level, my last 3 wins were all with Drakk, so I guess I was lucky with my random deck assignment too.
All true, I definitely greeded and didn’t account for River patrolling Hound like I did in an unforced error, but you played well @Dreamfire. Congrats on the W
Thanks @charnel_mouse for another fun model tourney!
