Countering Cantarella + Calveit combo
Hey guys, do you have any suggestions how to play around Operator -> Cantarella ->John Calveit combo?
You can't lock spies (they still have the spy property and are stolen by Treason/Calveit), you can't weather them down, you usually can't Scorch, because NG has bigger units such as Impera Brigade, you can't even GIgni, because one of the Cantarellas is usually bigger cuz she was decoyed.
You can Decoy one of the Cantarellas back to the opponent.
You can discard your Cantarella (or play her the next round).
You can also pass in the mid of his combo to get a card advantage and make his hero ability almost useless (he can still use Vicovaro to resurrect Ambassadors and Emissaries and steal them back) next round. However, if you pass, you have to usually deal with 20+ str Impera Brigades next round, and your opponent simply passes right away.
Anyway, all of the above still makes you lose the first round and struggle in the second.
So, what am I missing? How else can that combo be countered?
