at the 38 minute mark you mention that "you should discard the agile windup" This is wrong as it brings you down to a 3 card blue pitch brb which is always going to be claw + attack, which you can do without the agility, you mentioned not long before that, that you don't have much natural go again left so the correct play is to either discard it on your turn prior to the bloodrush or use it as a way to garantee having the pitch to play a card drawn off of the top, I think the line I would choose is to discard the agile windup at the start of my turn then play out the BRB as you did. I also think perhaps we could play for the kill shot a bit more, for instance when we have our riptide opponent down to 3 we really want to look to arsenal the kill shot, as it doesn't matter if we can reliably send 12 if he can reliably block 12 we need to go above his blocking rate to win. I think our playstyles are a little different but I don't mind staking some of those precious end game life points for those high percentage plays to finish him off. An example of this from the game is that I was looking at the line of blocking with clash of might, letting the endless deal 1 and then sending the sb and putting pack hunt in arsenal as our killing blow, this may changed based on tracking and whether I have kept track of what is coming next, but grinding out riptide seems scarier to me than just setting up those kill turns as his trap pings and good defence chip us down.
I think I would've gone for the cnc into cnc line, the odds of them being stuck with 1 or 2 dreacts in hand and pushing unpunishable mights is good, considering we havent seen buzzsaw at that point
I didn't say it in the video but I think the double CNC line has potential to kind of suck if Riptide has four arrows. Time walking them doesn't benefit me very much tbh

@@Lupinefiasco Very true, really depends on if you can sus out what type of riptide they are when making this decision
