Another 2er with Spara, and my most domimant performance yet in this matchup!
This game came down to Spara overpaying for 25 & arguably 26 as well, while not fighting me at all on green plants in a bad early market. Used my money advantage to aggressively move the market, which is exactly how you should punish people paying lots of money for the top-tier plants. Netted me two endgame plants right before Step 3, so no complaints!
Rest of the game was pretty easy, feel like Spara should've let go of 38 sooner. They needed a 7-capacity plant to reach 21 total, but the threat of me buying 30 and making trash hell was a big deal. Better to get two more efficient plants in that spot, i think.
Did make a mistake late in the game, where i could've ended it one turn sooner had i done the math and not bought extra trash. Didn't cost me but still worth noting!
