[Custom] Nekoatl Demonology/Growth/Strength vs FrozenStorm Demonology/Necromancy/Finesse

Alright, I can’t say there’s really an opening I’m happy with, but I think solo Vandy is probably my best bet.

Thoughts

Sacrifice the Weak makes it difficult to play expensive units right off the bat (Thieving Imp as Scavenger would be a favorable trade by 1 card, but I would be ceding board control, and that card would likely not make a difference so early), so I basically open with either Argagarg, Vandy, or Reputable Newsman. Reputable Newsman has the problem that he presents no threat on his own and dies if Jandra’s killed in combat, so I basically need an established board, preferably with a hero, to protect him. I think Vandy’s the best choice, both for early aggression potential and to Soul Stone Jandra. Maybe I should just go for a Metamorphosis of my own, though with Nether Drain on his side, I’d be at a disadvantage in that race, so probably better not to.
