Omg, second big blunder on my side - I only realized my vulnerability to Det until after I posted this turn. Yes I wanted to go for risky moves against nightmare, but doing two big blunders in three turns really is not the level of gameplay I’m expecting from myself…

Thoughts
I was reallly hoping for him to not have value in his 3 tech 0 cards. At least it was not det… Now the finesse engine really is an as big threat as Meta, which I will not be able to stop both at once while progressing my own game plan. Hence I’ll have to either gamble on stopping only one of his two plans and stick to my own plan or to focus on going against both of his plans while not progressing my own plan, which equals accepting a slower but then unstoppable defeat. Hence I choose a swiss cheese defense.
Post draw: seriously? Bottom decking my only tech 2 unit?
