Okay some risk from Now! or Nullcraft + Battle Suits but reasonably safe, can hit back with Charge and Zane if needed, and without a good dray I should be on to tech 2 decently smoothly

birds gotta go…, if I do it with my starting hand I only have 9g next turn and even without birds he gets toooo far ahead if he has Blooming Ancients, so might as well take the 2/5 chance

@lich , nice to meet you! i see you found the ‘post here’ thread - that’s the best place to find opponents round here, although people may be a bit busy with the current tournament at the moment; if you want lots of games be sure to sign up to the next one when it comes round!

Yep welcome @lich! Always happy to have more players. @dwarddd is right that tourneys are great for getting a bunch of games and the other thread is the best place to look for games, not match threads like this one.

Nicely timed tech break @dwarddd and I didn’t draw for a stellar response, but I will hope you aren’t holding Origin Story and see what can be done here!

Not shocking but not great. I could have Zane and Mad Man kill Argo, could maxband arg after, or I can save it and maxband Rook. Rook gives benefit of being much thicker but origin story would make for a bad time. Not that bad really but losing the tech 2 again for sure. I think that’s still best though, as I can keep options for Dinosize or sharks next turn

My Thoughts

Hyperion is still a problem… losing birds kinda sucks. Earthquake would be way cool to have coming, as a tech break here forces either Geiger or Prynn. I probably lose both tech buildings here but I have enough spells that maybe that can work!

There’s an argument here that killing Hyperion might be better than killing Tech 2, but I have to give up Zane and both units to do it… I think that’s too expensive. Hopefully the draw is Origin Story and Tech 2 stuff, no TD!

almost didn’t see this, thought i needed to draw ready or not or now! just to get double tech break and Zane dead

well, i did draw RoN, might as well i don’t get to use this card much

GG! WP and unlucky on last turn to have no BA, sharks/bird’s nest are both such cool synergy with them

my techs were a weird order for sure this game but it lined up to a v high chance of having TD (and good chance of 2) this turn, sad i never got to OS rook but killing him T4 was better and it came a turn late here :man_shrugging: ironically i bottom-decked tricycloid even with technician draw so would have faltered big time if you’d killed hyperion

omegacron is a large part of why i would never want to swap Future out in Purple, 9dmg for 2g from a Temporal distortion is just obscene

@zango part 1 done

Bah I underestimated the potential 90-0, GG WP! I know I should consider killing the Hyperion, just felt too expensive. Loss aversion always a bad reason lol :joy:

I’ll try to start next game tomorrow or Friday, today’s a travel day back home

Nice move @dwarddd but it seems like a very bold move to go for the base damage with the maxband flicker when you were not sure to draw ready or not and with tech 2 and Zane still in the open… A gamble that paid off obviously :+1:

I had second temporal distortion in hand already - my hand (should) always shows order of draws in my post :+1: Ready or Not was style lol
