I think his possible Cal kill with NC+BS wouldn’t be too bad of a trade for me so let’s do this instead of brother in elite and Cal backline.

BS is so crazily overpowered… only 2g to thin out the deck and on a side note additional +1 attack to all units…

Post draw: this sucks!

I like this situation. with FF or OS he can slow me down significantly, but in both cases he has to skip his own tech 2

[dwarddd]

Mmmmm i had my reasons i think
However i am seriously questioning why i put fargo in elite and also cant remember why🤔

ok bummer, that tech skip doesn’t hurt him. but now I’m fairly certain that my deck is better than his, with his deck being diluted by os and multiple tech 1 units. hopefully that will be enough to compete with bs and his way better tech 0 cards.

[dwarddd]

Do your worst

60% to draw one of my TDs for the tech break, but no such luck… and even though these trades were not really good ones, I’m now 6g ahead on the table plus a card more in hand but I really don’t have the slightest idea whether this will be sufficient

[dwarddd]

Phewie that was close, but no swing back from me just the biggest staller around

Stalling is something I can live with, even though your Deck is better suited for such an end game. So let’s at least include a small tech break

really should have gone for the max discard draw last turn instead of having the secure neo kill… that additional 50% for TD would have been worth it…

[dwarddd]

i see your tech break and raise you to two! in fact was 1 pesky dmg short of lethal as far as i could see

Thoughts

1 dmg short of lethal,
minimum requirements: double tech break and max dead
best i can see leaves me with healthy hyperion and fargo and extra 2g to spend on a hero blocker/something hyperion attacks draw me
can forfeit some of that for extra base dmg but who cares
mm if can also do it without attacking with fargo would be good for extra blocks but don’t think i can see a way

lollll wth are these hyperion draws, welp that makes GG next turn harder, i hope i get an RnD

[zango]

that’s impressive, but without tech 2 you’re not allowed to add another hero to the boad

[dwarddd]

thank you good catch, rolled back to the most recent draw before hiring vir (second hyperion draw) and re-drew next turns hand

this is now a new level of Present shenanigans for me, that hyperion draw was absurd

[zango]

I honestly don’t get what you had to redo with drawing within your current turn as playing Vir was the last action you took, but I assume everything should be fine now… Will play somewhen later, probably tonight.

[dwarddd]

ah, miscommunication, i redrew neither of the hyperion draws, i only meant rolled back as in, unhired Vir
anyway the TD was the first hyperion attack so it would have made little difference

[zango]

three TD in ne turn indeed is impressive. That probably seals the deal. So much for me missing the 60% to draw a TD from my two hyperion attacks that would have done the tech break in T5 being crucial. Really should have gone for the additional max discard draw instead of being sure to killl neo

But let’s return the spotlight to your turn. “using up” immortal but still being able to TD him, having now at the ready and being able to flicker a hyperion after a cumulative sum of three TDs is just beyond awesome! Absolutely awesome!

now finish me

Thoughts - no need to hide these
this was the single most devastating move that I’ve ever seen with only 11 gold. there is literally a zero chance of coming back, but he deserves to cut my throat after that turn, so I’m not going to resign

[dwarddd]

Yeah i thought that T5 seemed lucky for me, 100% the game deciding turn: i could see the two TDs coming in my deck, just needed to get immortal down to guarantee having a Tech 2 to use them on

But thanks, it was fun to play too! but unfortunately i definitely can’t finish you yet and need to avoid you being able to do similar things with that immortal of yours lol

Thoughts

this is actually not very ideal if they have some tech 0s to wall up with i may not keep their tech 2 down next turn

but, gotta learn from my example and get that immortal off the board

[zango]

Didn’t have TD, just ready or not in my hand so that undo definitely was the right call!

And yeah, that game was super fun!
