They put down Aldon jasmine on turn 4. If you went first, you nova both, including any early drops you have, waste your turn and subtract 5 hp.This shortens the game and restarts giving them first drop. If you went second, you have no choice with nova because you won't have 5cc until its too late, you're getting hit before you can stop them.
Alternatively, you can play lightning strike and attack with a brute and or gargoyle. Or fireball the jasmine on t3 and drop a Bella on t4 to stall the Aldon and draw cards. Maybe fireball on t3, portal on t4 soaking up Aldon and then forcing Bella/knight through on 5. This gives you a T6 hasted ogloth and likely someone wounded for him to pick on.
Anyway, 4-0. Played a mediocre Serena with an annoying amount of ways to kill my 3 early gargoyle drops. Luckily, by the time Oggy came out, her assassinations were used up and her black garb or whatever was the opposite of what she wanted to play. Brutalis meat shields, gogogo.
The early game always looks ugly, but you have to STAY THE COURSE. Don't panic.
