Yeah, specifically i think the model may not realise it’s as good as it is: I had it in round 3 and it felt like an advantage then too.

Anyway, still needs a solid pilot so GGWP, cya in a future round if we both make it that far!

17/17 hasty flying unit that costs 2?? :face_vomiting:

There’s a reason Purple Peace engine dominated the early meta of PbF, and it isn’t just the Battle Suits Synergy!

Juggermox is dangerous and yeah, Nullcraft loves it some buffs :wink:

Definitely need to have the model account for within-deck synergies, I just need to work out how to do it so it doesn’t take a week to run :wink:

Yes, purple/peace is very good without much effort. It’s not a dominant deck in normal formats, but it’s very good vs random junk.

I mostly agree with you guys but I also like the sound of [Peace]/Feral/Finesse. Maybe I’m biased because it’s got two of my top 3 favorite specs and Blue starter which is a plus against Purple. Having said that, it’s also got some downsides which make it an underdog in this matchup. Not disagreeing with that but I think it should have at least decent chance of winning. I’d like to give it a try if any one of you is interested in piloting P1 in this matchup. Of course this shouldn’t affect the ongoing tourney so the tourney match takes a priority.

maybe you should have gone for a peace/finess engine. Maybe it was too slow to work, but it seemed to me the only way to beat past/peace by using the draw engine of garrison with the free units from maestro.

Finesse I + Behind the Ferns might also work to stop Peace setting up, I’m not sure. Depends on whether you expect a Moment’s Peace.
