Yeah, I still don't understand how ZvZ works.
Would there have been time for Curious to plant down a Roach Warren or Baneling nest once he found out that Yugi was going Ling/Bane?
or would that have been too late and he had to do the best with what he had, which was speedlings/spines/queens?
i'm not an expert at zvz but i'm pretty sure curious can't afford an expansion + roach warren/baneling nest (and roaches/banelings) against yugioh's rush
i think yugioh lost because he thought curious had more drones than him at all times, so he really wanted to do a runby both times costing him the game the counterattacks from curious helped a lot too, and the spines (and obviously the ramp block)
anyway, i'm surprised people aren't doing the standard 4 gate on taldarim pvp anymore, nothing's changed except immortal range (and blink timing) for this map
