@zango GL HF, I think these are all the relevant balance changes
|Garth|Reduce midband stats to 2/3|
|MoLaC|If you have no units in play, remove all runes from this|
|Lich’s Bargain|Base damage increased from 4 to 6| Deteriorate Increase cost to 1 Bird’s Nest Change Upkeep to “Resummon one lost bird (max: 2)”
And gunship!

Well, I hope we will not find ourselves in the situation, where one of us tries to summon a MoLaC
But maybe we should think of the gunship nerf as well.
Either way, I wish you a lot of fun and good luck in this game!

P1 [Strength]/Anarchy/Balance vs. P2 [Necromancy]/Finesse/Future
I have absolutely no experience how to play black starter against white as p2, gonna be interesting. And phew, no aged sensei to accompany Rook, that’s a good thing
real question here is what the heck is my late game play. mimics seems ok but definitely weaker than finesse. gunship also does not have nearly the same luster it used to, and strength tech is lol. If i tech in t2 units it should be now, but it may make sense to go Rook go big next turn instead.
again struggling with what to tech in. maybe I should have just gone yolo on the Rook and tried to win that way. Horselord seems like it could be an option but with how wide his board is a grounded guide would probably turn them over.
Well, assuming that you already had birds nest in hand end of turn 3, I’ll post my turn here.
I deem this extremely likely because otherwise you would have played the nest last turn and no cards were left in your deck, so you must have had it in hand at the beginning of turn 4 unless you teched it after t2, which seems highly unlikely. Just the additional worker is really odd.
I’ll remove the blur, once you state that everything is fine.
Edit: removed the blur.

okay, so far he plays exactly what I expected. The big question is what did he tech after the expected two Mimics and how long can I make a stand against his incoming agression until hopefully my better economics kicks in
I think I fixed it, I’m not sure how I did it but I accidentally did two workers and I think my turn count was from a previous accidental discard/draw instead of tech draw.

not the finesse units I expected, but I guess this is better than a bunch of buffed minions wrecking my base? That tower must have messed with his combat math more than I thought it would. Seems like my board state is really good, even if he snaps back with a couple good cards it shouldn’t be that hard to stay ahead.
I am a mess this game. 100% do not recommend playing this game while you are having a work week from hell and are bachelor dad while mom is at a conference
Yeah well, luckily for me I have not had to deal with such a situation with my two little ones, yet… All the best! Obviously real life is more important than this nerd game, but do you have an estimate how/when you’ll be able to continue? Only playing one turn in 5 days isn’t exactly what I was hoping for when the whole tournament is waiting for this game to finish.
