Re: Gravedigger openings. It's not just about solving the first turn. Gravedigger has particular synergies. Once Gravedigger is on the board, you are actually skewing the entire match meta toward those Gravedigger synergies (especially, Attractor, Heavo 3.0, Eratic, Noxious, etc.). It also means the match will be SLOW. Gravedigger is a low tempo Phobie, and if both players have to use him the match is going to be low tempo. If you look at MOST of the standoff maps, they are turn 1 Gravedigger maps - it's not a coincidence. There also just is no counterplay. If both players are playing Gravedigger, it's just a narrow experience on both ends. I wanted the Shinra match to get submitted so I could reference it in the Phobie Usage Guide, haha. :)
I just got boss! Also keep up the good work and good luck with further tourneys chomp!
