I kinda want to play Haunt+Graveyard, but that’s probably too greedy even against P2 blue.

flagrant’s presented me with a bit of a dilemma here: kill Bigby or tech up. I could do both, but it’s way too early to maxband Vandy. TBH, I don’t mind if Bigby hangs around for a bit.

Take the free kill, then GPT goes in SQL, so that flagrant would need more than just MTruth to steal my float.

I don’t think there’s a single useful thing I can do. Well done!

GG WP! Obviously Black has a huge advantage against Blue, especially as P1, and the minor changes to Vandy and Lich’s Bargain don’t even dent that.

I’m curious though about your decision to patrol Inspector in technician on your T1. Did you want me to trigger the early reshuffle? I’d think that with your early tech 1, you’d try to dig for a teched card on your T2.

No particular reason. It just seemed correct to me. :sweat_smile:
