Hi all.
I'm just getting into competitive play and was looking for some advice on how the EC coterie rule should affect my play.
Im running the aspect list below and focussing on holding my expansion objective with the sticky guardians backed up by eldrad, a wraithlord and the howling banshees as a counter charge threat. I'd normally play for secondaries by infiltrating rangers and scorpions however from what I've seen you absolutely don't want to give up early kills to an emperor's children list who can get their buffs. As a result it looks like I'm going to be giving up on early secondary cards. Does anybody have any insight on how they approach a matchup like this?
Here's my list.
