Thoughts

Welp that’s a lot of stuff. At least he left my Tech III though. Still think he might have close to lethal depending on his draws.

22

Guide itself was correct, as it does not buff itself, but a few of my other units should have been benefiting from the +1 attack and were not.

GG and WP @Bryce_The_Rice

I was too slow getting any kind of aggro established and you P1 with haste was just too much once you got the card draw up and running

Sparring partner really let me press my lead there, ending up being the most card efficient thing I could ask for because of orpal. I have no regrets teching it first.

can i ask you why didn’t you use the Tap deal 2 ability from maestro once? :thinking: I mean, exp turns 7 and 8.

26

On turn 7 I valued board presence more highly to set me up with many varied threats, almost guaranteeing victory.

On turn 8 I just forgot oops

27

i mentioned t7 because there is a fencer that does nothing that turn and is sidelined (not patrolling). Hence I asked myself: why not tap and deal 2 instead of just doing nothing? :sweat_smile:

28

Nope, both my fencers attacked. One killed the squad leading mimic and the other killed Rook.
