My Thoughts
Unlucky not to get Merfolk w/ combat setup, would have liked to start Grave here. Next turn something like Ironbark + MP + Tech 1 probably, turn after start to play heroes? Guess weāll see, I think itāll be tough giving White priority but I canāt threaten easily otherwise so I think I play econ game for Growth T2

solid split against that econ start of his. He chose a very interesting play against rook and white starter. I really like the situation Iām in now, but letās see what he has up his sleeve. If I were in his shoes Iād go 80:20:0 on peace:discipline:growth. But Frozenās tech choices often surprise me, so nothing is taken for granted here

Spose against Rook Iād have been liable to lose Grave anyway then, especially w/ Rampant in t1 hand. No massive loss, econ game hopefully should work out, itās white starter w/ no early combat here like Grave or Cala to back it up. Rookās expensive to run with, I donāt have a fantastic counter to maxbadn but Dinosize or Reversal might be able to do the trick if it goes that way. Rambasa and Sparring for now

that tree had to be expected as everything else in the second hand simply would not allow to play rich earth. still itās a bummer as that means he can keep his MP if he chooses not to trade AS
I think itās worth the counter-pressure to try Oni or Grave out here. The only question is, do I risk patrolling the hero SQL for a lobber, or play it safe(r) with a Backline patrol. Hook + Lobber is still decently likelyā¦ and Iād love to be able to hit back with stuff. I think what I do actually is Playful Panda and patrol the Wisp SQL. Preserve the most hit-back and defer me next tech, so I can stack the deck up a bit
You really got me on the wrong foot here. Was completely convinced youād go for peace, but with twins?? Looks more like growth nowā¦ And tbh this turn 3 of yours was way better than anything I anticipated. Please enjoy destroying stuff if you want to even with drawing both my teched cards thereās nothing I can do about it

uff, thatās some offense he has put up here. Donāt like any of the options that Iām having. especially loosing tech 1 here sucks, but not attacking sucks even more
worker choice sucks just as hard. With my two birds I really want that safe attacking in my deck against tower, but SA and Snapback are both equally brilliant in many situationsā¦ judging from how badly I would have wanted bird buffs in my next hand Iāll worker snapback

Argās my best bet here I think, helps take care of Birds and also a Stampede / Growth T2 threat has to be respected. Either I get Snapbacked (hopefully not to have Oni out and killed!) or pounded face up, either way Iām hoping I maxband Oni next turn, then take care of things from there in a base race type deal. We shall see
in the sense of āI think I know perfectly what you are going to do but you proove me wrongāā¦ which just happened again!
Man, sometimes I have the feeling since my double boot camp first tech against your truth deck you sometimes just aim for playing unpredictable

ok thatās weird. he surprises meā¦ again! while it was obvious that I would not have an earthquake in hand he still prefers to not play tech 2ā¦ what is his end game if not tech2 after just starting his new cycle? ulti spells against a deck with access to snapback???

Maybe I shoulda double reverse jinxed and gone Stampedeā¦ Looks pretty bleak now, Earthquake will nearly bury me but weāll give it a try. Teching a Stampede on the off chance I get reshuffled and stuck on Arg
With you putting him in SL?? Against a deck with access to Snapback?? Nah!
But thanks for pointing out that you are not respecting Snapback, otherwise I probably wouldnāt have traded bird with panda

no real surprises this time. oh how I wish at least for my safe attacking now that I donāt have earthquake, but well - my position still feels extremely good. Tough to decide whether to lobber-kill wisp and have AS-buffed rook break tech 2 or to do it via buffed bird killing MP and lobber exhaust for that fifth damage. Either way Iāll lose one bird. That additional attack of MP over wisp might be the difference whether he can kill Drakk or not
Not not respecting it, just in a hole and not much to do Iāll just fold, I donāt think there was much hope of winning this game from the jump, Rich Earth obviously a poor choice in hindsight though I didnāt really have a better one either
GG!
For me it felt completely different. Committing to the earthquake plan leaves you so vulnerable to do many other things.
I was afraid of you going for tech 2 in t4 with say grave SL and more units, while I obviously didnāt have an earthquake already, paired with both BA in the next cycle. I wasnāt sure whether Iād run out of steam before you are able to put enough counter pressure to the board this wayā¦
