Think

crashbarrow.dek has bad defence. Technically so does my deck, but having taxmen and firebats is actually pretty good, as well as lobbers always being powerful. As moby always says, you can never have too many lobbers.
Starting with vandy here puts a lot of pressure on. Imp will be annoying as always, but imp is bad defence, and entirely cedes board control to me. Not a good idea!
Getting rid of bloodburn, because I suspect the other spells will be more useful to me late game.
A base race,potentially. We’ll see…

Discard

Think

I could’ve opted for mad man board clear, but being down on cards means I want to solidify. It’s almost guaranteed they will trade haunt with dog here, which means more chances to draw lobbers for me!
Actually thinking of it technically they can kill vandy with both deteriorate and sac the weak and a unit?? That’s uhhh 2+2+1+1? Yeah they can still worker I guess but good lord is that trade absolutely not worth it.

[Bryce_The_Rice]

Uhh it’s turn 1? No need to be teching

Think

Hmm… two choices here: pillage and heroes hall with lobber still alive, or bombaster pop with ogre still alive.
Or I guess I could even let the imp live? Pillage and no kill Imp continues to put pressure on their hand and gold situation. I have dark pact to recover hand size later… That actually could be pretty strong. With rambaster coming up I believe I can break tech 2 if they build it. Yeah, that’s pretty strong pressure. Threat of Zane is very real here, and threat of bonus lobber or other haste is quite good.

Think

Hmm, they still went for the tech 2. Interesting. Well, I have to skip worker to kill it, which isn’t ideal, but I want to maintain pressure here as much as I can. Saccing lobbers because I love redrawing into lobbers.
Voidblockers should give me efficient defence against crashbarrows I think.
I actually think I misplayed not killing the imp last turn. Should’ve pressured the gold, not the cards.

[zango]

Yes, sorry for slow! Tough turn and kept not finding time to sit and focus on it

I will try to speed up i recognise ive been the slower poster here

i have considered all 3 heroes… quince to stall, drakk to skip worker and through a skelejav, garth to sac the weak. i think them being on 3 cards reeally matters esp with lobbers involved and killing Vandy is just a great idea. plus, Meta. so yeah, match their skipped worker which does mean no quinc+crash next turn but that’s a loss i can take

Think

Yep, I really messed up. I am now absolutely suffering the consequences of my turn 3, and I think I’ve thrown the whole game away as a result. You’d think I would’ve learned from that one game against whoever it was (zango?) last year. Just kill the imp!
Still, if I’m going to win, I absolutely cannot let drakk live. And since I drew voidblocker too early, there’s no point building my tech 2 (other than bait/protection of my tech 1, but killing drakk is higher priority).
If I’m really lucky (I doubt it) my tech 1 will live, and I have a chance to claw my way back in. If I lose my tech 1, I am almost certainly dead.

couple of pretty equivalent plans but this one breaks all three of their buildings whereas garth i dont quite have enough gold to fetch with and also maxband quince, even with nether drain

Good point.

Hmm, maybe there is such a thing as a bad draw… like me getting my teched cards too early every cycle. Eh, I mean it’s not like my tech 2 was surviving anyway probably. Whatever.

GG @Bryce_The_Rice , i’d never piloted this deck before so that’s already a plus for a draft style tournament to me! However, I was scared going in that I was essentially fighting fire with aggro fire but my fire was P2… did you have much bad luck or mistake do you think as I was surprised to come out on top?
