I think against GPTs or Lobbers taking Rook out, Bird’s Nest isn’t a good choice here. Going double GPT and we’ll see where we land

My Thoughts
Tight one but think this is the best play
GG WP! I was hoping for better timing on the tech 2 break.

GG WP! I had two tech 2s in hand so I don’t think it was bad timing, what was fortunate was having both the hasted units to hit back on the heros hall.
I’ll start our new game later today!
