I've always been an economy player. No matter what game, putting an engine together that churns itself to victory is something I really like. Therefore decks like this Rushmaster scare the bejeebers out of me.
I do not dispute the Brace Yourself or Intercept "answers" to the archetype. My question is, if you manage to weather the initial onslaught and stabilize with <20 damage, do you attempt to recover your engine or do you play a sub-optimal survival game and hope you win the damage race?
My specific situation is with a dual spawnpoint Anvil Throne Warlord. My turn 1 is currently Battleforge, Meditation amulet. Turn 2 would involve the barracks unless I'm dealing with rush at which point my whole plan is thrown off. I'd probably throw down a panzerguard with defend and have the forge equip some gloves (runed of course). What I'd really like to do is get my barracks up eventually, but at this point I don't think that would be a wise move.
Suggestions?
