A couple more of these and I could have found out if the game bugs when the opponent starts with 0 hit points. Alas.
Also, playing like this feels like a sin.
Other really strong starts besides autos + double deck…
Recycle + wave collapse healing + attack items + freeze breath (usually can find wave collapse when you need it which lets you conserve cash - current max with this strat is 827.25). Freeze breath can be subbed for EMP, shield swap, and steal shields
Silly shields (particle collapse + Lottery + Autoshield + a shuffle or two) (But fight the shopkeeper instead if princess comes up, she’ll wreck you)
