well it’s been this or bogre trades tenderfoot & rook SL. I was a bit more afraid of the latter, so I should be happy with his choice, I guess…
I have to put pressure on his handsize & board state. so IF he has messenger & MSR, at least he has to go down on cards with then only a hero out. If he does not have these two, Cal will significantly help with keeping his board small
This is a nice situation, being way ahead on the board and having maxband Cal threat live. the only difficult decision this turn was what to worker. also I would have loved to not maxband Cal this turn so that he can’t sacrifice Zane easily, but pillage is a bitch…

My Thoughts
As I suspected. But how to counter? Bird’s nest and tower is an option but that leaves a lot of danger on the board. It could be I’m on the right timing to counter-break, it could be Zango whiffed and that’s a waste of resources… Gotta love Codex
I think forcing a decision between Rook and the tech 2 is a good choice. I can maxband and that’s still tough for Zango to deal with
ok, this sucks just as well. I’m expecting sharks next turn, but still want to get rid of his rook as well as his tech2… that’s obviously spreading my ressources very thinly

I was totally expecting sharks and I had a total brain fuck in somehow thinking this patrol was okayish. this now missing technician draw is going to be neck breaking, as I’m now only drawing two cards from my new (way too big) cycle instead of four.
Post draw: phew, did not miss the 57,1% to draw one of my five value targets in a deck of 15 from my draw 2, so the mistake last turn may not be game deciding unless he is able to bring BA boosted big birds to the table now or to again break my tech 2.
Sorry can’t do you this favor, even though it would be well deserved. Feels like I stole this game. I got lucky and hit the 57,1% to draw one of my silver bullets from the RS Draw 2.

well, yes I did have a head start after that bloomed cal turn 2, but after that you had a very good return and in the end a whiff from your side combined with a won coin flip on my side won me this game. That’s pretty much my definition of stealing a victory because two not too likely probabilities needed to be hit in parallel in order for me to take it…

that’s been a tough one and it was also a very fun one! I’m crossing my fingers for you that you will get the chance for a rematch and I’m not very optimistic that I’ll be able to handle it equally well.
