Refess Opens

[gadu]

I want to open Liminier on T2, but I don't have E. Buncle, so are there some alternative ways to do this without getting Shade drain? If not, what are some other good opens that could work?

[Icyglare]

Only that Falkow EX, otherwise, it's gonna have to be empty T1 to guarantee a proxy T2

[gadu]

Hmm, the only Refess opens I remember are Refugee Charity and that Ex guy. What else can you do?

[NitroDino]

You could open with KP:
- against Shade - turn 2 wisp - then SP generate
- all other spheres you will get your turn 2 Proxy

KP->wisp is countered by soul pact, but a lot of lvl 3 lawt files don't use pact.

[Icyglare]

well, actually there's inspiration.

[Anima13]

sounds probably stupid, but you could open meeting of kings

[gadu]

Thanks guys, it helped, but I realized that if I ditch the proxy and open Lawt with SP gen SS or Defective open, I'd be better off than with any Refess open.

well, actually there's inspiration.

It also gets countered by shade and gives the shade abuser 1 sp.

Inspiration is imo more of an advantage for your opponent.
