zhavier could kill Vandy, but getting free levels would require skipping a worker. Unless I’m missing something :man_shrugging:

Vandy should be safe barring a charged GPT, so I’ll be sure I use my last gold. Actually, midband Zane + Mad Man could get a kill too, so Jav goes in lookout to protect him from the shove.

Zane to break tech 2, or Midori to set up flying Mimics?

Nah, GG, I shoulda skipped the tower, not that it woulda made a real difference.

GG WP!

I feel like the MoLaC nerf kinda made a difference even though it never got played. I wasn’t as scared of your tech 2 as I’d normally be.

My alternate turn was Play a 6/8 blooming ancient with bird’s nest and argagarg. You would still have suicided on Rook, but vandy alone would not have been able to kill the ancient, and would have at least taken a beating doing it. But really, meta drawn there was not something I could have beaten.

I am shocked to see Zhavier first out. This is an unexpected development

Sorry to disappoint! I tried some things that didn’t work, but my opponents really played well.
