Damn, well played! I got greedy and teched in Liberty Gryphon and Stampede towards the end, if I’d put in copies of Free Speech instead I might have had you.
Don’t mind my thoughts if you read thru them. I was just whining about me tripping myself in the beginning. I often overthink and try to pull something out of line and it usually backfires me. So yeah just my unrefined thoughts.
Agreed, free speech would’ve caught me off guard. Was banking on no free speech based on the direction you were heading. I think you read me well in this game. I was definitely going for early aggression as I naturally get drawn to but you killing my Drakk changed everything and threw my plan and barons out the door. And yes I was again tempted to go Blood tech II as you suspected but i’ve been hugging onto hasty cards that work nicely with molac so i figured this is the time to give it a shot.
Oh, I wasn’t expecting Barons at all! I suppose bringing out Quince discouraged them, too? That would have been a very different game. MoLaC was definitely the way to go for both of us here, though, can’t let you keep a maxband Drakk lying around in a matchup like that.
Yea, I thought barons would surprise you but then yes quince discouraged it with drakk gone. I don’t remember me going for molac before maybe because i didn’t play much growth but I also didn’t like the idea of investing for late game since i usually try to break thru rather than building up. I’m slowly adopting to stardard plays to limit my all ins in attempt to be more versatile
