Tbh in this scenario everything screams at me to just trade Cal against neo and to put brother in SL. That would be the easy way to victory for a p2, but it felt boring and I want to have some skin in the game on whether you really did tech OS or not

Thoughts
the only bummer is that with the Cal trade line my probability to actually have a tech 2 unit in t4 would be way larger, while it is slightly larger in this variant to actually have an immortal and not any tech 2 unit in hand.
If I were him I would tech two Argos after announcing OS and against these Cal definitely is my preferred option.
