Uh ? This means either a terrible draw or bansa's up to something on next turn. With Vandy patrolling as SQL, and Demon II out, I suspect Terras Q + Discord. Maybe Prynn has some support as well, as Origin Story is a good way to get rid of birds and two-living heroes. What's good is: all 3 heroes can deal with Terras Q (squirrel, vines and Doom Grasp). So maybe he considered that has backup plans… One squirrel should be enough for now; at worst I can draw throught my deck with Garth to find it.
You had 1 Wisp last turn, now you have 2. Should be 1? You had 3 in hand, after Worker and Bone Collector. Should be discarding 1? Did you move the rune to BC?
Wisp is patrolling, the one behind is a typo. BC has a rune from BA. And for some reason I paid for the worker but did not actually move the card to worker. So I discard 1, rs, draw 3, and have 9 workers instead of 8.
Sorry for these multiple mistakes, thanks for pointing them out. Editing my turn accordingly (including redrawing hand)

Having no polymorph nor MoLaC is a huge issue. well, let’s deal with it the hard way. I considered midbanding Rook to dispose with River and wall TerrasQ off with tokens, but I feel better off with it away. I could also destroy Demon II but with River out, I’m pretty sure to trigger MoLaC as soon as next turn, if ever I draw it, and it should win straight especially if I boost birds before they attack.
Oh my. This changes my turn, as I can’t find a way to end up to the same situation without paying those 2. I guess I’d have played the same, given lvls to Arg instead, not attacked with Rook (or more probably hitting a tech building), and patrolled BC in SQL. But anyway, having read all of bansa’s stuff is too huge an advantage to continue the game, so I guess I just concede it ?
As for terras Q and BA, I think you’re right. After reading Sirlin’s entries on Terras Q, it seems that Warlock enter play as units controlled by the opponent, so BA should trigger ?
No, in this case Bansa conceded first, so that would end the game. If a player in a magic tournament concedes, you don’t typically invalidate the round due to a mistake caught later. Plus the mistake didnt matter if you consider the Terras Q adding 4 runes to the BA.
A random question if any of you has the answer. How do I stop getting reminder emails? I like the notifications top right corner when I’m online but I don’t want the email reminders.
This honestly wasn’t a drastically different position from the one which Bansa conceded, so fwiw to both players, I think the decision to have the concession stand was the right one and didn’t affect anything terribly.
GG WP to both, fun to watch!
I would agree with that reading, “of yours” seems to be “you control” and “arrives” applies to the Warlocks going from non-existence to existence. Probably worth putting in the Rules thread just for searchability; I will make a posting there and link it to here for reference.
