uh, I thought you were talking about the "I GotP time" FG stall deck, nevermind
yeah, playing your inital rush reduces your chances on a win greatly, don't do it against a nightmare / rewind deck.
but as long as I kept to just playing the damsels and aether towers, a win was usually secured with a fullhand combo. sure, you can get extremely unlucky and draw both Skyblitzes + Fractals + 3 PUs at start, but that shouldn't happen more than once every 20 years anyway. ^^ *crosses fingers*
