YES! Games not over yet!
I think Tachyon is the one at 1 HP. Was 2nd Hero to take 4 from Siegebreaker at start of turn.
Draw Arsenal Access from Leadership.
No equipment in Trash, therefore no change due to Salvage Yard being played.
For villains I think this is their current HP:
Final Breath [1], Battle Forged [1], Trueshot [9], Whipacorn [2], DREAMER [2]
Cupacabra is mentioned in Tachyon's turn, but it was nuked by RPG in Expat's turn. (Wouldn't do damage anyways due to Whipacorn hit.)
And with a known card on top of the villain deck (Siege Breker) I can play Wrecking Uppercut to get it discarded. Will have to see what the environment deck brings forth first of course. If both bots survive I can take out both the Whipacorn and Trueshot as well as getting Siege Breaker discarded.

If someone else is able to take out Trueshot, I would probably destroy Natural-Born Vigor at the start of my turn to regain some HP instead of killing her.
If no one else has a card play on Omni's turn, I can play The Ultimate Target on Dreamer, so I have a chance to take out whatever she plays next before it can hit us.
Siege Breaker is next.
I was planning on Grease Gun this turn so we won't take damage, I'd like to do that on Omni's turn so I can draw, but it isn't a priority.
There are 9 cards left in Dreamer's deck. Three are projections.
Hopefully we get another stall card this round that can get us through to where Dreamer has one card in her deck, and let's hope that isn't a projection.
I can wrathful Siege Breaker if need be.
If we get a DDA or I get Impromptu/Grease Gun it's a win. Tachyon getting Hypersonic would give us a chance, but not a gaurantee.
Ok. If you're going to Grease Gun, then disregard my notes. I can wait a round for both.
If I were to adhesive foam grenade the environment, would that mean everyone else could use ancient library for free?
Yes, that is the case. Also it is amazing.
We're going to end up pulling this off, you just wait and see.

HP: 3
In Hand: Swift Bot, Champion Bot, Wrecking Uppercut, Tactical Shotgun, Mental Divergence, Bee Bot, Turret Bot
In Play: Platform Bot [1], Raptor Bot [2], Hairtrigger Reflexes
Trash: Wrest the Mind, Stealth Bot, Platform Bot, Brainstorm, Twist the Ether, RPG Launcher, Wrecking Uppercut
-------------------------
Effects:
Whenever a non-hero target enters play Expat can shoot it for 1 point of damage
Comment:
A couple of different options, but I went for one that gets us past Siegebreaker and sets ups preliminary damage on whatever comes out.
Ooo... quick question before this finalizes. Is Raptor Bot allowed to "pass" or is it required to attack a target if one is available? If it can, the turn stands and if not I will change it so that Platform Bot finishes Final Breath and Raptor Bot noms Battleforged. But that means that the villain deck does not discard and I do a different play than Wrecking Uppercut.
Edit: Will have him nom Platform Bot since I agree with getting Siegebreaker out of the way.
I feel like its better to get Siege Breaker into the trash, even if Raptor bot has to chew on platform bot. That means Dreamer has exactly 8 cards left so we can for sure get all her projections out in two turns.

I'll be playing Grease Gun on Omnitron-X's turn. Thanks Omnitron! You're the best incapped robot friend a blind mechanic could have!
Naturalist draws Eye on the Prize.
Expat draws Flash Forge due to Leadership.
Note: Wrecking Uppercut stays in play and thus Siegebreaker should be discarded. Raptor Bot hit Platform Bot for 2 (3-1). (A nice suggestion since that option did not occur to me.)
And Mongolian Death Worm is pinged by Expat [7] upon appearance. To [4] after Absolution Hit.
Since the contents of the villain deck were inadvertantly revealed it looks like the 8 cards that are left are 3 projections, an EPE, and 4 citizens. We get to see half of them while under the protection of Grease Gun. Then things get interesting again since Dreamer's damage before she plays three cards will finish us off as things currently stand.
We have this.
If Tachyon plays DDA I can put inventive back on top of my deck, and then play it on Omni-X's turn to pull grease gun #2 into play from the deck.
That gets us through the end of the deck and all the projections into play. Then I can end of days If needed the next turn.
We survived long enough to get the cards we needed
Also would anyone be interested in doing a vengeance 5 version of this game?
We'd each need to run a villain, I have ideas for decks, adding 1 villain to each of the 5, and the decks mostly built.
Don't know if people would rather build the ones they run themselves or not.
Once I saw the villain I figured the issue was going to be just that. Surviving the Dreamer pounding us long enough for enough projections to come back out. The load of citizens, crew, and THAT CARD just made it more difficult.
Dammit, I really should have taken out the boat...
In that case your luck would have gone south due to me putting Brain Burn in Expat's deck for some silly reason.
So, we're on the environment turn, right?
