OMG how I hate this guesswork what might be on your hand. There are so many reasonable combinations and any patrol looks silly against a specific one…

Thoughts
Hyperion draw now! would be tech 2 break and therewith limiting him to prynn, that would be a clear direct win. so teching the second copy is obvious…
unfortunately no such luck… now let’s hope he does not have the right answer to my swiss cheese of a defense.
Trading messenger & brother for Fargo is also very very tempting as it offers a way higher chance for max to survive and go all monster on him next turn, but doing a worker skip here for trading 3g2c for 2g0c is also really not what I want to do…
