I'm not sure hitting them without a monster is enough to justify the -1 of the missed draw though. I mean in a normal turn you'd use 1 attack to take out their center and 1 to attack directly. Here you still get that 1 direct attack, meaning that the direct attack angle balances out the attack limit but not the draw. :/ It gets even more complicated if you think about weapon decks, who normally don't have a center monster.

Also I've been trying to avoid first-turn size 3s. They tend to do better as counterattacks in my experience, overpowering something you'd normally struggle with.
