Wow… that was amazing :money_mouth_face:

In the end, there were a couple of points where I almost overlooked the answer or at least an answer! This game was so wild! I’m down to play it again if you’d like to try P1.

Also kinda kicking myself for not going for 11 base damage over the double tech break, I think I could’ve had lethal way quicker.

I’d be down to switch sides for fun, might take a little longer. This build is pretty interesting…

I thought you were going to go for the base damage and I was less concerned about that at the time, but clearly we were both wrong in our assessment. Feel free to start the next one!

I can really leverage tempo here, Plasmodium isn’t coming online for 2 turns minimum. This is the window where I bully.

Don’t need tech 1 here, assuming Time Spiral brings in Plasmo next turn but I can kill Vir here. make sure I minimize exposure to Nullcraft. I can Shambler and shift a rune to Rook to kill Vir. tech utility spells then. Quake possible? let’s level Rook instead of Nest to prevent Time Spiral plus Battle Suits

Spore Shambler can’t add runes to Heroes.

Curses! I need to read more closely. I’ll have to revisit when I am not on mobile because that’s probably going to be Tiger Cub trading instead, or some other combination, and either way I have to roll back the sheet.

Don’t need tech 1 here, assuming Time Spiral brings in Plasmo next turn but I can kill Vir here. make sure I minimize exposure to Nullcraft. I can use Merfolk with rune to bop out the Mox, Tiger Cub with rune to trade with Vir and level Rook twice. Doesn’t leave me with a spell but Prospector heals up. Unfortunately Battle Suits means that the Shambler just dies and Plasmodium can be Time Spiraled in, I guess the upshot is that’s two cards spent.

@flagrantangles’s turn!

I think that first tiger cub line is just copypasta from the last iteration and otherwise your turn’s gravy :slight_smile:
