Might be a fun way to think about the game, strategize, and start discussions about the game.I'd say Ironworks, but I'm reasonably certain that you should open with that over the Scout.
I'll start, as an example:
I just opened Scout/Great Hall on a 4/3 Board and expect to win the game against someone with a more typical opening. What other card is almost certainly on my board?
This kind of "here's a Witch, in your face!" conflict feels just very ameri to me.
Ugh, I hate the wording on Catacombs...Gain a cheaper card. It would have been better if it said costing less.
