My Thoughts

I’m so lost for how to handle this: I don’t want to float a ton B/C pillage, but I can’t tech up yet, and Hero’s Hall is a little early, and TBH idk that I even want a hero out? I’m gonna go for Rook + Dog + Rambaster, and see where I’m at next turn. Quick max rook might make sense?

My Thoughts

I think this is the right call? I def want birds, getting Rook maxed is big. I need to either max him now, though, or protect him. Drakk + Mad Man + Charge + Scorch/Brogre/CMusketeer/Dog would be 8g and enough to kill, but I’m going to hope either EricF doesn’t have such a combo, or doesn’t opt for it.

Plan next turn to Birds + T1 + HH + Max Rook + Worker

This looks bad right now… but I hope I can gain a card advantage. It’s basically a race to who can charge MoLaC first and Eric has the inside track, but I’m hoping I can win with Sharks!

My Thoughts

I got a break! Hoping to for no double earthquake and I can get a MoLaC charged!


Note: your Bird’s Nest should have been shuffled back in, so you might have to re-draw.

p2, turn 5

So, I can either Quake and leave Frozen at 8hp base (and no way to heal)

Or build my Tech 2, defend with Rook, and plan to Crash the Growth party. Or I can split the difference, not pop Tech 1, and not have Birds?

Of course, the problem with the Earthquake plan is that I lose to Sharks (like, I literally take near immediate lethal)

Tech Kidnapping and Crash Bomber

10 gold (10)
Bird’s Nest (8)
Charge a bird, hits your Tech 2 (5)
Earthquake (0), Tech 2 goes boom, Base to 10
Discard 1, draw 3

Scavenger - Crash Bomber (2/2)

Bird (1/1)

8 workers, 0 gold
Hand: 3

Discard: 5

The hubris of keeping my birds backline, I didn’t think you’d have that kind of combo though! This is super rough…

I wish I could in good conscience re-draw but sadly I just failed to edit the bird off my turn summary last post, it is in the proper place on my spreadsheet.

I suppose all I can do is pray you didn’t catch the other Earthquake in your next hand

Really lucky for me you didn’t have the follow-up earthquake, though I spose there were some unlucky moments of combo draws on turns prior.

EDIT oh there only was one Earthquake? Scratch that then I guess, I see you were trying to wedge Blood in to base race. Not a bad idea!
