It looks like he’s going to go for Boot Camp + Mox, at least to start with. I think I want to go for Demonology Tech 2 this game. I haven’t done it yet with this deck, and Blackhand Dozer seems good. I wanted to tech a Soul Stone, but I decided to wait a cycle, because if I put it on Jandra and she gets Stewardessed, that’s bad.

Vandy took 1 from Nullcraft and there is a tower, your Vandy would die when attacking the Mox.
okay, I’ll edit my turn to do a different line.
@EricF When I redo my turn, should I re-randomize my hand for next turn?
Edit: I did re-randomize because I drew 1 less card.
Nice out-of-the-box play!
And yes, you always re-randomize draws that are backed-up through. This is to avoid the possible “option select” of “reshuffle if my new hand was bad, but if it was good I guess I’ll just keep it 'cuz it wasn’t a big change I had to make” (and to also avoid making revised decisions based on knowing what you’re going to draw).

Defense: 4, 1, 1 // 5, 3, 5 [14]

Plus Zane, Chaos Mirror, and Forgotten Fighter
Mandatory Garrison, but what else to play is up for debate
Mid-band Oni: +1 for 2
Zane: +2 for 2
Chaos Mirror: +N for 2
Max Zane: +? for 5
So, I can have Oni kill Taxman for 2 gold
Then Zane + Cadet kill skeletons for 2 gold
Then Chaos Mirror lets me hit something for 4 with Mox (kill Vandy) or I could use Mox, and spend 3 gold and no card to mid-zane and kill Vandy with him = better. Unfortunately, that means skipping out on Garrison entirely, which just seems really bad.
Option 1:
Level Oni to 5 (8)
Oni kills Taxman
Mox & Overeager Cadet kill Skeletons
Mid-band Zane (3)
Zane kills Vandy, Oni to L7
Max Oni (2), make 3 ducks
Worker (1)
Option 2:
Max-band Zane (3), killing a Skeleton (or pushing taxman somewhere Mox can kill it, and then killing a skeleton for +1 gold)
Zane kills Taxman
Cadet kills other Skeleton
Oni kills Vandy, levels to 5
Flagstone Garrison (0 or 1)
Worker, or attack something / Patrol With Mox. Otherwise I have to patrollers vs. 4/5 Bigby
Option 3:
Flagstone Garrison (7)
Neo Plexus (5), Draw
Level Oni (3), kill Taxman

Ok, this is super awkward, but I think it’s the best option…

Wow, that was a big turn on both ends. I feel like I should have done something differently last turn, but I don’t know what. At least I got lucky and drew the Disguised Monkey off of Zane’s midband, so that I could kill both of his heroes. I’m not looking forward to his next turn, though.
I teched a Gunship to try and win with and a Steam Tank for some defense. I think I maybe should have teched differently though, or not at all. I got unlucky and drew the Gunship this turn, so I’ll have to either stash it with Bigby or pass up on it until next cycle.
Edit: the starting hand spoiler didn’t list Surprise Attack, since I had manually stashed it. I updated that for the sake of spectators.
I just gotta say… this fight is bonkers in both directions.
