Suppose you have a magic power of predicting your opponent's decision (you ""win" every decision point). How many turns do you need to kill your opponent?
Of course, parafod from the very first turn is not an answer (there are full-proof defences via blindness).
For some time I thought that you can guarantie a win from FFFFW/SPFPW forked with FFF/SPW, but now I don't see how it forces a win vs FF/WW.
Any ideas?

How does FF/WW defend against an opening para/FoD? And if it doesn't, isn't F/W vs D/P the first decision point?

FFFFF WWPSPFP
vs FFF/SPW, paralysis is thrown at the opponent every turn. FFF/WWP also block the antispell. Perhaps, the optimal strategy may involve other openings vs paraopenings. Or maybe you should change your strategy, trying to resolve Haste/Invis as soon as possible. P.S. Actually, invisibility strategy is quite promissing. If your opponent plays paraline, you play SW/PP and force either a Fear or invisibility.

I don't know if you meant
FFFFFF WWPSPFP
to be the only defense or just one possibility but in that case, at
FFFF WWPS
FFF PWP
if they cast para at you, you can instead do
FFFF WWPS
FFFF PWPP
and paralyse them for a
FFFFCCC WWPSFFF
FFFFFFFFFFF PWPPWPFSSSD
or a
FFFFCxx WWPSPFC
FFFFFFFFFFF PWPPWPFSSSD
(edited with monospace formatting.)

FFF/WWP was a defense vs FFF/SPW. Against F/P, F/W-player can play FFF/WSP or FFF/WWSP. I am not sure which one is better, but anyway. FoD against a paraline does not look promising to me.

Then maybe OgreParaFod is the answer? I can't really tell what the numbers are and haven't really been able to convince myself either way
FFFFF WSPFC
FFFFC PSFWP
FFFF WWSP
FFFF PSFWP
FFFF WWP
FFF PSPFP
(Is this enough for AntiParaFoD?)
And of course, try for a straight ParaFoD if they do anything but F/S or F/W on turn 2. I know there are more than a few gaps in the argument here...
