Hmm I was running this (the unupped version), but lost miserably - made a mistake which I shoudn't have done:
I had 3 aether + 4 fire pilars on board, 30 fire quanta. I had 15 cards left in hand, and already used my first shield. My hand consisted of:
2 fire bolts, 3 shields, 1 reflect shield. - I drew another fire bolt. So I had to discard something. I chose to discard my reflect shield.
That turned out to be a mistake: what would you do in such a case? Using the bolt would've been a waste, dropping a phase shield and hoping for some very fast towers?
