Campaign Hard - Lance vs Serena

So I am struggling with Lance defeating Serena on hard in the campaign. I have won everything else with a combination of a Lay Low Lance and a more traditional assassin build. Neither seems to prevail against Serena’s ability to steal cards from your hand right at the beginning. I can’t think of how to counter that ... by the time I get to round 3 to play a lay low I only have 1 or two cards left and she has half my hand.

Any ideas?

Easy .. Starting hand with Frying Pan or Kristopher Wyld to take out Nightprowler. Restart the game if you don't draw those. Also works on AI decks with starting Blakes.
