You could take out oni despite the swift strike? how? 
Because I’d ignore Swift Strike, of course.
Another round, Persephone?
In case the turn-1 Tower didn’t tip you off, I was really afraid of stealthy Calamandra. 
I was expecting to see an early tiger on turn 3 and/or 4.
Sure, I’ll play again. I want to try [ Blood / Fire ] / Law, aka Reverse Blood Anarchs. Your choice to go first or second.
I’ll go second, makes sense to switch sides, and I’ll stay with Green…eventually I have to make the Big Bad Nature Dudes work.

Don’t have to worry about Oni, yippee! Instead, I have to worry about Drakk. He’ll be able to kill basically anything he wants to, plus Blood comes with Kidnapping so it’ll be dangerous to put out big stompers, so I figure going broad rather than deep is the way. And that seems to point to Feral. Barkcoat Bears might be a worthwhile tech due to the Resist.

…I can. Should I?
The obvious problem here is it signals Hotter Fire for Potent Basilisk and/or Nature Reclaims pretty hard.
Potent Basilisk causes a lot of problems for Fire in general, most Law IIs, and is immune to Kidnapping. Tech II Balance is already favored by my having Haste units, and Circle of Life means they don’t even need to specialize. I think that means I’m probably going Blood II + Injunction / Judgment Day, or Drakk + Justice Juggernaut + Lawbringer Gryphon?

OK, cleared the board, leveled up Cala. The Wisp is just a roadblock to avoid a cheap Haste attack. Centaur next turn, worker the Verdant Tree probably, then…stealth Cala attack? Max her out and grab a Tiger?

OK, that turn was rather crazy. At least Cala was still standing, so I figure next turn a Tiger is the right move if she’s still around. With a tiny bit of luck, she’ll hang around long enough for a Feral Strike, worth the gamble.

You can make a tiger, or kill Drakk, but not both. So if I can’t cast Kidnapping, I won’t need it…?
With only 3 cards, no hero slot, and not Tech I, I predict you won’t be able to spend all of your gold, either.
Yeah, sorry, I hadn’t removed the Centaur from hand. I think the card count should be right now.

Is Hero’s Hall so close to Tech II a mistake? Especially when I need a Tower to kidnap invisible tigers? Well, with the money I save, I can build a tower! Right over my Hero’s Hall… wait, that doesn’t work. Yeah, let’s not do that. Tech II, then I can play Drakk + whoever and bloodlust both of them if I need to, or Tower and hide behind Scribes while I wait for Calamandra to ult.
I really need to start teching IIs on turn 3.

I can kill Calamandra with Jaina and draw 5 cards, or I can play Tax Collector and make a worker, and draw 3 cards. Oh, Tax Collector lets me keep a unit in play and hit your base for 3-4. Lets do that then?
Do I go for Tech IIIs…? Two Shoddy Gliders is lethal if I keep Drakk + Tech II alive and flying blockers show up.
Or, just put your base in Ember Sparks range instead of killing Calamandra. If I lose both Lobber and Rambaster, you can’t pull anything that will win the game in one turn, can you? Double Gigadon or Rampaging Elephant would be problematic, but I can always draw a Kidnapping or Injunction, right? Maybe let’s not bet on that.
Pay 1g for a worker, 1g for Nautical Dog, or just keep the card and draw 50% more cards that aren’t “Careless Musketeer” ?
edit: corrected cards-in-hand count.
And just when I was about to pull off a boosted Feral Strike…
