So, bansa gunning for the gold grind. I doubt we’re looking at MoLaC + Plague Lab but it’s a possibility. I kinda want to try opening with Quince because I’ve been given a wide-open field. Quince + Panda lets me field a lot of power next turn. As for me, there’s too much targeting going on for Truth Tech 2 to be viable, but I’m into Discipline Tech 2 and dropping YLDs.

3 gold to play with, let’s just Ironbark it up. Bop a Wisp for free? Two wisps? That’s a lot of advantage to give up but lets me ward off a lot of buffs. I think I can slowly build up tempo and swing in with mirror copies to seize control.

As always, Rampant Growth is a bummer. But not too bad here. Rambasa, and then Forest’s Favor to value trade with Galina (even though it gives a card) to cut down on gold. Crawler is an obnoxious pre-empt of YLD et al.

Centaur, Tech 2, Prospector, Worker seems like the play here. I probably just lose with the enormous swing coming from bansa, but maybe…and I can use Vigor Adept plus Ferocity to be a massive pain as the defender.

@bansa’s turn!

Is that a Centaur or Ironbark Treant?

Assuming it’s Centaur since patrol would be the last decision to make. If you need to revise your turn, please disregard this post

Man can you imagine how hype it would’ve been if I’d teched Ferocity over Hallucination. Anyhow, think I gotta dig. This is a ton of pressure, super scary.

That’s obnoxious, I really wanted to have Shambler around. Gonna have to mid Cal, eat Treant, then Adept can swing in again and I build up board. I have 3 gold after that, what to use it on…prolly Quince to bring in a mirror for more smashy smashy. Building Truth lab to threaten tech 3 eventually
