Add some counter cards into E.T.C., for example, i have: Plate Breaker, Steam Cleaner and Kobold Stickyfinger in the band.
Gameplan:
Phase 1:
Complete the quest as soon as possible. Survive early game with Armor Vendor, and other cheap armor cards. Look for the Dew Processes to make drawing cards easier.
Phase 2:
Look for and play Elise, look for the map. Keep surviving with armor.
Phase 3:
Play Cho, and give your opponent a Map to the Golden Monkey and a Jade Idol.
(Phase 4, optional:
Play Yogg for a chaos of spells)
Phase 5:
Survive with the large green men, whenever you feel like you can play the Golden Monkey and finish the game with legendary cards. Hopefully your opponent does the same.
Hope you enjoy!
