Strategy:
This deck has 5 total Head Shots (4 of them are Slash Head Shots). Each turn I will be able to make multiple attacks as long as the second attack is a Slash. With the Ramirez: Trip and Ramirez: Master Block, that will force the opponent to play more than one defense each turn and discard a dodge to play a dodge for Ramirez's Katana Hilt. The Ramirez: Master's Head Shot is an edge card, so I'd be able to play an attack, then a Ramirez: Trip, then a Connor MacLeod: Slash with the Ramirez Head Shot.
The opponent will need to discard a dodge to play a dodge from their hand. With the Quickening I'm using, the opponent will need to discard an attack to play an attack, as well. Using The Kurgan: Skull Helmet, the opponent will need to discard 2 attacks to play 1 attack per turn.
