mox or neo - mox isnt a bad idea against their deck, except it limits my options next turn and considering i have the perfect aggression split and want to get far enough ahead i can block out a meta play i think i should make use of this

Oof, I have literally 0 units to play this turn. I guess Iā€™ll drop Vandy and Graveyard and try to get repeating Imps/Haunts.

while i could kill vandy, itā€™s costly and weā€™ll probably also get theiving imped even lower on cards. instead lets leave all my out of hand damage hidden and put a fargo and use this weird opening to easily protect a growing boardā€¦ fairly sure if i draw battlesuits Vandy is defo dead next turn if they also wasnt to tech up, just NC maybe not but still possible pretty sure, letā€™s tech a stewardess either way since they surely have to play a unit next turn post draw: man am i drawing well this game, vandy is definitely dying

On second thought, Imp is way too vulnerable to Stewardess. Iā€™ll have to offer up Vandy.

two best plans i can think of are battlesuits and stewardess or NC and stewardess, could also trade Max in, Battlesuits and stewie, it gets their gy and keeps my deck smaller, but no max to maxband or play spells

okayyy, they went for balance, that is the only part of that turn that i couldnā€™t guess at really judging by their last few games, glad i didnā€™t pick Present it doesnā€™t match up too well

i think iā€™ll get rid of their taxman as iā€™m playing a hive next turn, may actually trade NC in first though as it grants mimics haste and flying; nvm he has Zane to grant them haste anyway, might as well keep it

What am I most worried about in Future? I guess Hives would be trickiest to deal with, since Stingers protect from StW and block my own fliers. But not if those fliers also have stealthā€¦

@dwardddā€™s turn!

im an idiot :confused: (this was not calculated, it was me forgetting)

I know the feeling. Check out my game vs. charnel_mouse, I made some painfully stupid errors.

considering the high chance of them having at least one of sac the weak and deterioate, only way to stop a double tech break is offer up hive to a mimic + shadow bladeā€¦ itā€™s a choice between double tech break and keep hive or single and lose hive :(:frowning: gotta keep the hive in that choice for TDs
Right, if they have deterioate it was double tech break anyway so might as well try to keep the hive

Nice, I can kill the Hive with Taxman + stealthy Mimic, leaving me with enough gold for maxband Vandy + Midori + HH, threatening a 3 hero Meta next turn.
But first, letā€™s see if I can draw Fairie Dragon, which would let me kill Hive + break tech 2.
ā€¦
I did draw the Fairie Dragon, but I also drew Deteriorate, which makes for a much cheaper kill. This is a good spot to be in.

@dwardddā€™s turn!

Well this is embarrassingā€¦
@Dreamfire Iā€™ve made a mistake with my teching, in that last turn I accidentally added an Undo to my deck when I meant to add an Origin Storyā€¦ I literally had the picture and concept of origin story in my head but selected the wrong card, in fact i got as far as writing ā€œUndo Vandyā€ for this turn before realising Iā€™d got the wrong name :sweat:
Considering I wouldnā€™t even want an Undo when your deckā€™s whole thing in Balance is hasty mimics, would you be okay if I retcon my tech choice for what I actually meant to tech?
Obviously completely fine if not, this is tourney and Iā€™ll happily play on, but i thought it worth asking!

The mistake obviously wouldnā€™t happen with physical cards, though Iā€™ve made similar errors with my tts game state; I teched what I wanted there and wrote the wrong thing here! If I were the judge Iā€™d allow it, but just my opinion.

Yeah Iā€™m ok with it. We havenā€™t actually seen the nerf to Vandy come into play too often yet :wink:

Thank you! lol i donā€™t think itā€™ll make that much difference from here anyway :sweat_smile:

this is a take a risk for a legitimate chance of winning situation - if i play stewie instead of nullcraft i donā€™t grant any incoming mimics haste and flying, but i do lose a tech buliding to midori and haunt anyway, so might as well take a chance on them not having a mimic

@Dreamfireā€™s turn!

Nullcraft would have to trade here. As soon as itā€™s in play, Mimic gets flying.

trades then, man my head really doesnā€™t seem to be on it this game

No need to play Dark Pact and risk drawing Meta early.

@dwardddā€™s turn!

GGWP! Even if you have to tap Vandy to grab Meta thereā€™s nothing I can do to stop double tech break.

Sorry for rules/teching mistakes near the end there

@zango they win

Well played in general, after your rocky start I thought I might get ahead but you capitalised on my mistakes well!

Iā€™m curious: P1T3 would you have done anything differently? I had many choices to make that turn!
