Brushed off the game after a while of not playing. Decided to play a fun deck in casual: Flourish.
I even made it more fun by tossing in some (very) off-meta cards like loam strider and vexing rascal. So of course, I run into HRD in all its stale glory.
The game starts off well (because I went first and had cards to play). I was actually able to get Loam Strider up to 3/5 before it was mercilessly destroyed by Blade. I'm not mad. After all, I'm running them in casual too, right?
I make a single error that probably cost me the game. When I played my blade, I removed the Armor Lurker. My fear being dark knives + cheat infinitely until my death. He was indeed holding Dark Knives, but he is able to follow up with 2x Assassin's Aim. He wouldn't have been able to do that on the lurker, but I suppose he would have just hit other creatures.
In any event, it was a fun enough game. It also illustrates just how slow Loam Strider is. Took me 4 turns to develop him into anything meaningful just to have him removed by a single 5 drop Blade.
Off-meta deck aside, let me know if you saw any missplays! Always room for improvement.
