[Round 3] Space Trooper / Log Keeper

Mechanic Solaris: How are we going to do this sir? I could invent a drill and just go at it wherever we think most likely?

Mapper Espithel: What we need to do is develop a sonar system and locate the exact place of resonance, then study the geological implications for a few years, write some scrolls, you know, research the...

Space Trooper Russianspy: Stop. Before I was conscripted by the great council, I worked for The Trans-Phospheric Marsh-Desert Mining Company. In exchange for rescuing those civilian ships from those pirates, we can ask them to help give us the man power to mount a serious approximation of official mining regulation practices (They won't quite be Gnomish slaves, but they will do). I still remember my first day at the TPMDMC. The foreman was patronising, but a wonderful teacher...

Sit down, sonny-fish, let me tell you how to plunder this great planet of ours.

Step 1: Planning and Precognition: Countless millions of Current-Sea coins have been wasted on failed mining expeditions. Be sure to survey the land or sea first to see if what you seek is really down there.

Step 2: Mark the Site: Serious construction and destruction is needed for a dig. Be sure not to use pillars, pendulums or other constructs that might get damaged by the dig.

Step 3: Poseidon's Sunder: Call upon the elements to sunder the area, bringing the earth or depth up to the surface.

Step 4: Schrodinger's Canary: Noxious gasses can be released in the sundering of the earth. Many a great fish has been suffocated in the depths of a mine shaft. Take a barrel or box, and lower a cat into the shaft. Leave it for an hour, and bring it to the surface. NOBODY GO DOWN THE SHAFT UNTIL YOU KNOW IF IT IS DEAD OR ALIVE. Once you bring it to the surface and open the box, and find out if the shaft is safe or not.

Step 5, 6, 7: Salvage, Remove and Make Safe: Any unearthed salvagable material should be recycled by the Phase and Graviton officers. Cleaning devourer worms will remove any unwanted earth or sludge from around the site. If any subterranean lava flows have been disrupted, the Brimstone officer will consume and remove the dangerous material.

Step 8: Be Patient and Mine: Send in the gnomish slave troupe to unearth any hidden gems!

while it does fit the brief I would very strongly suggest not using SoP two rounds in a row, and not using patient wardens (in the same way nobody would vote for DBH or firestall, because it is just a clasic deck)

Sorry to be a buzzkill but I really think this one would be frowned upon.

Didn't realize it was that popular of a deck.  Attempt two:

Basic idea being digging for bones to make the bone dragons then the dragons dig for more of themselves.
