well didn’t that just work out perfectly, i was sure id have to compromise on killing Vandy or tech 3 or losing Ancient to Z (say if i charged an Elephant and cancelled birds nest and ferocity) but wow it added up perfectly

moss ancient would have been even nicer but this was a pretty conveient draw lol, patrol is ofc weak but so is their offence hopefully (could be a now but i feel safe betting on having my moss ancient around if not tech 3) almost went for their tech 2 instead of 3 but hitting my way through another Zarramonde might not be so easy this time

Uh by the way, I think moss ancient is a 8/9. I just noticed you’ve been writing 7/9.

Think

Ooo, this might be a whiffed hand. Let’s see how we go with it… Maybe I should’ve teched in a mythmaking at this point, but I’ll worry about that later. I’m trying to keep his board locked down, so we might have to use dark pact. Little bit scared of all this base damage though… I get the feeling jaina is cooking up some fire.

There’s still a chance I lose geiger this turn, but this is about as good as I can get keeping him safe. If he lives… I might just win. No guarantees, of course, but I’d be in a very good position.

It was indeed a very fun game, GG and WP! Some very cool Max spells from you near the end there, on principle won’t look at your hand until at least one person has read this without finding an error in the turn but you had the 14g next turn for the dreaded Zarramonde + Ready or Not so it could have been closer than my board size would suggest

Ah… I couldn’t account for everything. Where is my free speech…
