Not really sure where to go with this start. Deteriorate Sensei seems a good choice, and from there we could Midband Vandy, or go for Vandy + Jav, or Garth + 2x skele. I think I like midband Vandy best, it’s aggressive and allows for me to put heavy pressure on Sets. I’m drawing into StW also so that helps. More likely though, I can Imp + Hero’s Hall and start a Harmony + Dark Pact rush or something to that effect. White starter lacks an abundance of units.

Well his play is for Sets? That’s fine, I’m going to split my available options to destroy him between Tech 1 and Hero’s Hall and Haunt, teching Nether Drain and Nimble Fencer. Behind on tech with nothing but a setsuki inches from death, I’m confident I’ll pull ahead here. Leaving no patrol looks rather suicidal but he’s not able to do all that much damage, even with Sets maxed out

Fencer and Deteriorate, that’s good. I can always fetch a Dark Pact with Vandy if needed, too.

I’m definitely killing Sets next turn now it seems, this turn didn’t pan out with Vandy dying and unable to DP, and no Nether Drain draw. So I’m throwing Fencer out to take away the lamest ninja turtle, patrolling empty b/c he brings max 11 damage, more likely 10, and I can absorb that just fine if I tech up right now. He’ll probably double tech break or tech 2 + hero’s hall, but that’s okay, teching double discord and a sets nether drain kill and I’ll have total command of the board right back.

Get the kill, I’m vulnerable to Snapback if I don’t max Garth now so I’m going to go ahead and grab Grounded Guide. Next turn I can either Discord + go for tech 3, or Graveyard and play for Maestro + Fencer + Starlet rushdown. He’d be wise to come at me, and Hook or Cookie will get him a kill on Garth, but with no access to Sets at least all the spells of danger pay multicolor tax.

Likely blooming ancient, it’s possible he’s going for molac but that would be really bold. I think I’ve probably got things pretty well locked up regardless but between Appel Stomp and Blademaster for beating down his defense, I’ll opt for tech 3. Pretty well guarantees I’ll finish things next cycle. My odds to draw a fencer at least are good on the reshuffle

Yep, no blademaster but fencer. I can sacrifice a skeleton for one more try at it, and play things from there.

Yeah another board clear, I set up Garth to fetch a second Guide, and I break his tech 2? I’d say this is about locked up.

Still no Blademaster but it’s okay, I should be able to dig him up, tech another + another Grounded Guide.

GG WP, the FDS rush plan would’ve been pretty excellent against a deck without mass removal like Discord, unconventional, but as it stood Glorious Ninja was about the only way I saw for you back into things there, and even then it would’ve been a long shot.
