Kind of an awkward split, because I don’t want to play mox in this matchup. Might just be laying battle suits and daring them to come fight me.

Hm well, proceed with plan A for now. I’m not sure what tricks they might have up their sleeve, but for now, I will hang back and try to build up my forces next turn. I probably need to put on some pressure to stop fast finesse tech 2.

tempting to go all in with TF+bloomed cal kill SL, midband heal & tech 1 while teching two feral strikes for my next cycle of then ten cards, but decided to go a more conservative route with Fargo only having one attack or patrol left if he is not going to TS surprise me.

Think

Well as expected, looks like they’re going for fast tech 2. So I will play several things to increase my threat while also saving plenty of gold for teching up myself. Hopefully I can entice them into playing multiple cards and slowing down their cycle, so that they don’t hit too many tech 2 cards before I hit mine guaranteed turn 5. We’ll see what happens, I guess!

#6

What a big difference there is about these 3 time runes on Fargo when comparing this match to our last… Lucky me!

I think it’s safe to assume neo + cadet in his next hand. I really like my 50% chance here to draw a GN next turn, which then is a likely tech 2 break

Think

This turn genuinely took me three days because I didn’t want to work out if I can survive glorious ninjas. I still don’t think I can, but I think this is my best shot at not losing my tech 2. I very much still could though, and I’m picking up a kidnapping to turn them back on my opponent. If by some miracle my tech 2 lives, I should win the game. If not… it’s an uphill battle.

I got the 50% to probably just win the game. Lucky me you chose to not attack through the various turns.

YES! Tech 2 break possible and I even can have some protection against kidnapping. also this FF instead of neo is awesome! -1 gold for him, +1 card for me. going for the kill next turn with 70% chance to have 27 attack on the table if he kills nothing (+4 GN +4 two step +1 hero kill)

Well yeah, I’ve lost for sure here. Kind of weird how weak my deck is to ninjutsu, and to going first.

Well, tinkerer one turn sooner and therewith the possibility to keep Fargo staying in the game and everything looks completely different…

ok, maximum kidnapping protection while going for maximum instant base damage with my tech choices

#12

I did the maths, you have lethal. It’s over.

#13

It’s really stunning how P2 favored your deck is. Also it really was helpful to know that in your past games you heavily favored to not attack in the first few turns and that mox is nullified with my wither…

GG!

#14

It’s a gold hungry deck, and needs to hit tech 2 fast, usually.
That’s partially why I’m so opposed to making garrison more expensive.

End of turn hand T2

Looks like your spreadsheet didn’t want you to have it easy :dizzy_face:
Where did the second cadet go?? That’s a difference like day and night!

@FrozenStorm : I’m calling you as a judge, what should be done in such a case?

#16

Oh no, I know what happened there. I use Tabletop Sim to keep my game state safe for me; I had tinkerer the whole time, I must’ve mistyped the cadet when I did my turn. I was probably tired.
