Set 1 econ and 1 monster.
If he uses fate you can econtake his monster and make him use banish on his own monster.
You can also cyclone fate when they put it facedown or in your turn to force them to use it or by hey trunade or use gyoku.
You can give them too much targets to fate so they cant fate it all.
You can use spell negating cards etc.
There are many ways around it.
Just need to learn how to work around it.
First, you don't start first.
Second, this resource war you will likely lose. You may have won this one round, but they still can drain all your resources within the next 3 turns.
Don't get me wrong, your tips are super(even got such e-con win), but they have a way to powerful tool with fate.
Especially with this TTH...
If your deck doesnt have special summon options to swarm or none of the tools i mentioned, than your chances are low.
Many meta decks have those tools though.
Dont get me wrong btw. I have cursed as well when my first 2 draws didnt provide me the needed tools resulting in falling behind and feeling quite powerless.
There's a problem there. E-Con stays on the field until the end of the chain so they can banish the E-Con instead. Also you will have a clear board if you only set two.
Work around it
