Pretty standard opening for both sides here. Hard to decide if oni or Drakk is a better play here. I suspect we’ll both be playing defensively, though that favours me slightly. Playing 6 health on turn 1 is pretty baller though, so we’ll just see what happens.

Think

Anarchy is unexpected. Nerfed gunships are still gunships, so I need to be aware, but it’ll be a couple of turns before he can make those active. This next turn is crucial, so I’m putting up a tower to protect my garrison and tech buildings, and deal with those pesky birds. I don’t know what he has up his sleeve, but if I survive this turn with my resources intact, I think I just win.

I made a mistake putting nullcraft in scavenger. Detonate also slows my plans, but for real, if I make it through THIS TURN then I SWEAR I’m gonna win, for sure, totally, no for real guys, I’m gonna do it, I just need to survive this turn with my garrison intact. I hope he’s not holding surprise attack.

There is a hiccup in your sheet :wink:

13

more like wishful thinking

14

I’m looking at my turn and I realise that I actually incorrectly wrote down the amount of cards in my deck, because I wrote that before I drew my hand, like a fool.
The correct amount of cards in my deck should be 2 at the end of my turn.
Normally I would just continue, but given that you’re giving me 2 draws, that might be significant to you, so I’ll give you a chance to respond before I play my turn.

15

@FrozenStorm : what do you think here? Tricky situation as the wrong number of cards in the deck indeed may have influenced zhavier but also the evaluation of the choice is influenced by the knowledge of what Zane’s technician kill provided as card draw…
Besides the relevance for the current match I’m even more interested in a ruling for such situations on a more general note.

16

I’m confused what there is to rule on? Bomber is correctly offering an opportunity to replay the turn to zhav, given that he had mistaken his board state. That is the appropriate thing to do. Should Bomber have played his turn without offering and zhav caught it, zhav would be within his rights to replay his previous turn given he acted against incorrect information.
