Ascetic Scrooge vs Rapala I&II

It seems that my other suggested Rapala I&II deck is out of reach of new players who don’t want to spend ANY Memoria whatsoever, so here’s what I consider the optimal list for using only the cards that every player has by that point unless they have been disenchanting their collection.

Mulligan for Neutrals and for Rapala II (the first Rapala mission…) try to play something on turn 1, in order to get an extra card before your deck is destroyed.

The Green stuff is all really slow and for most of my playthroughs it was surplus to requirements, but it can get you the value that you may need in the later turns if you’re unlucky with the AI and have to trade minions unfavourably into big taunts. None of it is great for these missions, but given the particulars of the basic collection at this point, I believe that it is a little better than the alternatives from other colours.
