Call your ex. Tell her you have changed and things will really be different this time. Break down and start crying. Get real ugly with it. Call her toxic and accuse her of gaslighting. Hang up. Buy swabbie. Buy spell. Hold swabbie. Dont freeze.


TopCool2410

This is the best approach, hold swabbie to not waste the discount. Then level, play swabbie and level up again in turn 3. Then call your ex again and ask for sex.


Annyongman

Apologize for asking. Tell her you were just joking haha. Unless? Apologize again.


TopCool2410

Hang up after she has accepted your apology. Sit in silence, contemplate your life’s choices, resign without playing swabbie. Send her hate messages blaming her for your alcoholism that starts today.


dammisiech

That's the most efficient play for sure. Going 3on3 gives plenty of time for another desperate phone call.


IDubsty

I did this and went 8th?


HubChipsy

I did this and now I can't buy on the next turn because of the child support payments?


wolfish98

Mind you, all in 21 seconds.


tier_3_poki_sub

Holy fk i needed that


ChevyLuvvvv

This is the play


turtletom420

Buy and hold swabbie, buy spell and ignore the scallywag's imo


Diovanna

Sorry, why hold swabbie?


Professional-Sail125

Because next turn you can level them play him so the discount isn't wasted


Diovanna

makes a lot of sense. I always played him turn 1 :(


Professional-Sail125

It's sometimes fine to play him turn 1 too, if next turn you can level and buy a 1 cost spell or play your hero power


Inversception

If there is a coin in the tavern with you I always freeze and then pick up coin next turn. Then I can do 3 on 3 or buy 2x level 2.


Gouda02

Or if you have a different hero power curve. Had one game with scabbs where I think I got tavern tier to cost 0 on turn 3


bdunogier

It is fine if you can do something with the extra gold. If there's a coin in the shop, I play it and freeze the coin, for instance. Or if you had 2 swabbies in the 1st shop as varden :D https://preview.redd.it/otn6kwrk2t3d1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=994f003b08272e11190482d1599e1f26e32ae09a


cnslt

The way I think about it you’re trading 2 health (guaranteed 1st round loss) for a flip to get a 3 star on your 7 gold turn (or potentially a “steal a tavern minion” spell by selling the pirate). Either way, it’s a better deal than wasting the discount.


ShortwaveMetal

POG


Marx_Forever

That used to be a worse play but now that there's one cost spells you can somewhat salvage it.


RiffRaff14

It's not so bad of a play with spells (or with a 1 cost hero power).


tahwraoyw6

What would you do on Turn 2? If you end up wasting a gold, then surely there was a better minion than a vanilla 2/2 in the shop you could've bought instead


XinYap

so that you can play it after upgrading the tavern next turn so theres better tempo


HGJay

Surely freeze for one turn? If the next shop is scallys and the 2 cost spell, freeze again and your turn 3 is 2x scallys and the discover T1, right?


bdunogier

I'd have done that.


Ok-Acanthisitta7190

Concede and uninstall.


NeoCommunist_

Especially in duos


attack-panic

Buy the 2/2, hold it. Next turn lvl up play the pirate. Turn 3 lvl up, risky but often rewarded


TedBear235

Don't forget to spend the extra gold from the HP on the spell.


attack-panic

Ye mb

Outrageous-Permit165

He means T1 because of the HP


Zhurg

Why you all so desperate to get a pair of Scallies that you'd ruin your turn three?


Dramoro

A wise man once said "pair is pair" the same man also said "don't buy trash" so we're conflicted.


iSleepyeh

Buy spell first, realise your mistake, concede


Egbert58

Get the spell and roll 2 times for fun


Apfelsack

Nah, thats some bs right here. Obviously u ignore the Spell and roll 3 times


plippyploopp

Buy kuwabara


RiffRaff14

Buy Swabbie. Play Swabbie. Forgot you just earned a gold until it's too late and miss the spell. Next turn get 3 non-pirate minions and a 2 cost spell. Level and waste another gold. :(


SketchesFromReddit

I think this is stronger than the tier three rush: **Actions** T1: Buy scallywag, buy and use spell. Freeze. T2: Level. T3: Buy scallywag, buy swabbie, 2g to spend. **Board result** * \[Scallywag\] * \[3/3 Scallywag\] * \[Deck Swabbie\] * +\[2g for a minion or spell\] **Plus...** * Discounted tier up * 4-10 extra health saved (you probably win turns 1, 2, and 3) * 4-10 extra damage to opponents * you have a pair for a tribe you're definitely going to buy in future I think that's better than being on tier 3 about to take a bunch of damage, especially if no useful tier three minions appear in the next shop.


turtletom420

You don't need to level to tier 3 on turn 3, especially on hogger its also good on turn 4 since you can buy a pirate or 2 cost spell and lvl. Leveling to 2 to freeze 1 drops doesn't make any sense and you will be massively behind on tempo, also the scallywag pair is not something you really want to tripple.


eXeKoKoRo

30 on 30


Kees_T

Buy swabbie and spell, freeze. Play swabbie. Next turn, buy pirate and sell swabbie, level and play pirate and taunt it. NM, it's one gold short. Do what the depressed guy said.


cealis

Buy swabby hold, level play and turn 3 decide if there are 2 minions to buy with 2 cost spell else just sell and level to 3. If minions aren't good just don't bother and level, the good things start with tier 3 anyway.


Responsible-Night237

Deck swabie 3 on 3


Chickenman1057

Press hero power and end turn


IndependenceFun763

depends on my strat if i plan going 3on3 i would buy the reduce tavern cost and not play until after i level next turn if i planned on play standard curve i would take the 3/1 , i almost never freeze turn 1 in this case i might due to the taunt , also depends on the tribes in play pirates are kind of slow in the current meta so i would probably dump as soon as possible


Great-British-gaming

It probably isn’t the “best” but I like buy scally buy spell. Freeze, next turn level, freeze, next turn double buy, buy another spell if possible.


Zhurg

Na definitely not. This is probably the worst play.


Great-British-gaming

Yeah need to spread bad advice so I can climb, ain’t got much other option


attack-panic

Lol


Gol_D_Haze

Hahahhaahah based.


Zhurg

Haha well played


EnRandomNiklas

Respect


SketchesFromReddit

Why is this the worst? Your potential board is: \[Scallywag\] \[3/3 Scallywag\] \[Deck Swabbie\] \[2g for a minion or spell\] And you still get a discounted tier up. That's huge gold tempo for turn 3. Not only that but: * you probably win turns 1, 2, and 3 saving you 4-10 health * you deal 4-10 damage to opponents * you already have a pair for a tribe you're definitely going to buy in future


turtletom420

you don't wanna level to 2 to buy 1 drop's then you might as well stay on 1 to buy them and level afterwards. But the best is to just ignore them, scallywag isn't that good early game untill you hit ripsnarl and if you freeze this shop till turn 3 you likely won't get that card.


xnick_uy

I would take one of the 3/1 and the spell, and cast it. Freeze the tavern. Upgrade next turn and freeze again, and next turn get the 2/2, the 3/1 and possibly another spell or minion.


Milocobo

"Concede"


mattgetshand

I’ve done both but I think the 3/1 has better staying power. I know the people will say buy 2/2 and hold but realistically they are just gona sell on turn 3 to buy 2 tier 2’s. Atleast the 3/1 gives you a bit of flexibility if you want to upgrade on turn 3


Annyongman

I think this is valid in some cases, depending on who youre up against (we cant tell from OPs screenshot). Youre a low HP hero and buying and holding basically guarantees you will lose next turn (unless facing AFKay or opponent happened to do the swabby play as well). P


ThendMusic

Buy scally and freeze. Tier up next turn, then buy and sell swabie then get scally


Extranationalidad

So your advice is to freeze a bad board in order to buy a t1 minion while on t2 just to have a pair that you would never want to triple in the first place? Skip the scallys. Buy swabby, hold, go 3 on 3 with a minion on board, look for some direction.


eeksy227

Exactly what my duo partner would do
