Blacksmith (GEN Earth) 3-1 (Gen Entropy) iancudorinmarian

[Blacksmith]

General battles are always a bit tricky since you can't predict the same decks as if a soldier would play you. Furthermore Gen battles are played less often so you can't always look at what they brought against you before.

I knew as soon as Iancu played that quantum tower this was going to be a very equal matchup. I tested several variation of bows vs his deck and this was the one with the best result. His higher amount of CC and denial reduces his damage output. I also packed extra golems to be able to deal with Bh better.

Game 1
Slow start for him, first turn boid for me. He wasn't able to afford his BH this game. Won on 6ttw. Coin toss game in my favor.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Game 2
He got 1 quantum draw, I got first turn boid again. Used deflag on his only pillar and lighting on first target. I topdecked a lighting last turn making me able to deal lethal damage 1 turn earlier, otherwise this would have been a coin toss game in my favor again. He couldn't afford BH this game either. Won on 9ttw

Spoiler for Hidden:

Game 3
Fast game. I got a pretty good earth output but only drew 1 nova the whole game. That would have changed the outcome I think. Last turn BH from him healed him enough to survive another turn. Coin toss game in his favor. lost on 7ttw

Spoiler for Hidden:

Game 4
Another game where I used my lighting to destroy his lone pillar. He used BH late game and survived another turn. This might have been a coin toss game in my favor depending if he would have drawn a nova to use on boid or not. 9ttw

GG's Ian this could have gone either way. Well played and good luck in war

Fixed title for you

This was a pretty even matchup, with a slight edge for me, I'd say. The draws and QT RNG were not in my favour though, so there you have it. This match was basically: The player with the better draw wins.
