The name of the game is efficiency at the Hard Times Mill. I think my monocolour advantage is quite big here. This turn, I want to do something which blocks the ogre for less than two gold. I could Garth and skle in Elite; he will have 4-2 = 2 gold next turn. He could play a madmad or rambaster and kill the skele for a Garth kill, but thanks to the Mill he couldn’t hire a hero to collect on the levels. Thus he would pay two card from hand and three gold for my three and no cards from hand, or two if I put Garth in Scav. Next turn then - I have 6-2=4 gold, tech 1, and… SS, Jandra or imp could all be good options. Skeletons seem efficient as long as I don’t lean to hard and get DeGrey’d. Dark pact will probably be a good tech this game. Let’s see what happens.
Well damn, I had a very senile moment there where somehow my brain kept telling me that you had to kill the skeleton to get to Garth. A stupid way to probably lose a match on turn 1 - temporarily forget the rules of the game!

I can’t believe I did that. You don’t play codex for a few months and suddenly forget how patrol zones work for ten minutes. What was I even doing for that 10 minutes yesterday? Anyway, can I recover? I’m going to get first tech I. He will probably play birds so I won’t worker archery.
Don’t forget that you did build your Tech I. Unlike me…

Lots of skipped workers from him. If I can surviva another couple of turns and play better stuff he may run out of steam. A LIKELY STORY. I need to get out a T2 as qickly as possible, probs an abomination to stem the tide. Can do with a max Garth next turn. He has 14 attack on the board against buildings. I can kill one bird --> 13. Vandy and Jandra take 7–> 6. Earthquake does 4. Technically maybe I can survive another turn on 1hp?
