Fairly standard so far, keeping my options open to trade in Calamandra and get Grave into play. I’m expecting a chunky T1 to be on the cards so Reversal early seems good and I’ll want it later to deal with Immortal

Doesn’t feel like trading in Calamandra is a good strategy here with Geiger there to soak up the free levels. I think in all likelihood killing off Geiger nets me the best line, though I feel like Origin Story is fairly face up so it might be sort of a trap. Regardless, I’ve built up a pretty solid gold surplus I can use to get Tech II up next turn while maintaining board presence, even if my hand size is lower. Quite happy if he kills or bounces the Prospector as the extra card is pretty valuable and if he bounces he’ll have spent too much to Tech up.

I do have a route to a Tech II break but it’s complete hand destruction and his counter will be hard so I’m not taking that line. Give his current gold supply and lack of Battle Suits, his burst can only has so much oomph. Verdant Tree seems like a better way to keep my Tech buildings up, especially with YT to my hand size up while I patrol. Just need to decide on my tech options. As much as I want TD in deck, I think Now! + Immortal gets me enough burst / staying power / backup plans for this cycle and I can layer in multiple TDs for next cycle. I thought about double Feral Strike but FF gives him an immediate Calamandra kill no matter the rest of his draw so its very high risk high reward.

Oooft a bad draw for him, so I should do everything I. Sn to capitalise. Using Stealth and FF really is hand destruction but I have a chance to lock him out of Tech II when he needs it most and I can always pivot to Tigers if my draws go sideways.

Well suddenly I’m on the backfoot. I hadn’t really thought about Vir and mech as a way to flip the script. Very clever and avoids the wrath of Grave as it’s all targeted. Very sadly I’m one gold short of playing and flickering Hyperion, which would have let me reduce his board and recover my hand much better. My options are therefore either to use the Hyperion once to draw a card and then either worker and try to weather the storm or break his Tech II again with Calamandra. Otherwise I don’t think I’m doing very much. Surplus is kind of the same but with less board presence and maybe I could trap him on Vir. I think I like hyperion and Calamandra tech break best, though I probably have to sacrifice Geiger here to keep my tech advantage alive. I’m basically hoping I can get Immortal into play and stuff up the board until I’m in a better position to burst. I remain worried about Prynn appearing given his big gold stockpile but I don’t think I have much choice. At least if I patrol right he’ll have an awkward time getting through to my backline while getting free levels.

Edit: Fixed tech issue and redrew as per Bryce

Thoughts

Well this looks really bad. With the Tower up I can’t break his Tech II again so that leaves Immortal + Grave, maxband Grave on his own (which just seems way worse) or Invisible Tiger + Grave midband (which also seems terrible) and I either kill the Argonaut with Calamandra or patrol her. Maxband Prynn and time trash Immortal costs 7g with Immortal in SQL and less if he has the chance of free levels. If I don’t patrol Calamandra I think a single Hyperion probably wins him the game, since he’ll be able to deliver a double Tech break and the wall up behind the mech. That leaves my only shot at keeping Tech II up as Immortal in SQL, Grave in Lookout (to prevent a cheap Tric kill) and Calamandra in Technician to try and get some cards back. Still not convinced it’ll be enough but when it’s the only way that might work it’s an easy decision.

man, i really wanted to be able to swap undo into this turn’s hand last turn, oh well, with the big attack on their defenders Max shenanigans shall have to wait till next turn (slightly crying at the 4 free levels I’m one gold short of collecting)

That’ll do it! I was hoping against hope that you didn’t have a Hyperion in hand. No way I can stop you overrunning me ad infinitum now.

GG and WP @dwarddd that one really got away from me latterly. You’ll see I decided against double Feral Strike on T4, but it would’ve been the play!

@zango it is done

How funny that we both won our P2 games!

While guessing this right was not calculated and more luck: my vague thought was a mixture of it being unlikely you’d invest in Calamandra with the looming origin story threat, and that I could weather the tech two breaks as long as it always required stealth - however, choosing whether to tech counter cards like assimilate and origin story always hurts my head and with work atm I can’t claim to have thought all that deeply XD

GG and WP, it’s a fun deck you have, both really scary heroes and really scary Present combos
