Going to try opening with Grave, then sword + Versatile Style is there as a last resort against Aven.

Thoughts

Interesting patrol, Shadow’s willing to give a free Newsman to keep Onimaru alive. Grave in Squad Leader should be decent here, then Onimaru can’t do a thing without hitting midband, but that takes all the non-worker, non-tech gold.

Do I want to take Versatile Style? If so, then taking Twins is too expensive if I draw them both, unfortunate since no Aven makes them more reliable. That leaves options as Reversal, Sparring Partner, Fuzz Cuddles, IVP. IVP is too vulnerable to Manufactured Truth. Reversal is asking for Free Speech / Magistrate to disable Grave. Fuzz Cuddles is interesting if I go for big units later, and its ability can’t be copied. Sparring Partner is probably nicer once I have more units on the board, not just Grave, but I might want to go for a second hero anyway. I’ll try going for Sparring Partner, if I draw both teched cards I can spend the other 2 gold on a Heroes’ Hall.

Thoughts

Tech I split here is a little awkward. I have to choose between maxbanding Grave to deal with Oni, or going down in cards to get enough patrollers in front of Grave. The latter is also awkward, because I can’t protect the Sparring Partner against the Aven with Onimaru threatening an attack too. Shame, otherwise I could afford a Heroes’ Hall.
