Bronze Cards:
From there just bleed the enemy off of your setup until you have card advantage and pass or until all you have left in your hand is combo pieces for Vernon+Syanna.
Round 2 you can either press if you have Any combination of Vernon, Donimir and Syanna, with Royal Decree replacing any of those 3 pieces (can also be done without Donimir with significant risk) and are confident in your ability to win, card advantage won't matter too much here because you'll be fielding 4 cards in 1 turn off of Syanna+Vernon combo.
If you don't have the combo pieces needed to Vernon+Syanna, dry pass and mulligan into the combo or die trying (it's pretty damn consistent).
If you end up with Portal in hand turn 1, then just Pincer a Vernon, Donimir or Syanna to your hand and still do the game plan of Portal turn 1 and Vernon combo to end the game.
