Neon Synapse

Look at the cards the enemy is holding and take the one that matters, then power machines that turn spare energy into attackers.

How it plays

You play against their hand rather than their board. You reveal what they are holding, make them discard the card you least want to see, and occasionally keep it for yourself, while machines on your side turn spare energy into attackers when you need one. You will rarely have the bigger board — you win by knowing what is coming and taking it away first.

Strengths
Seeing the opponent's hand and taking the card that mattered, then building energy engines in the mid-game.
Weaknesses
Nothing that destroys a creature outright, few creatures of its own, and little defence. It wins by knowing rather than by force.
