im playing rasheth right now, but I'm considering switching to zaadesh. Looking at his card, I can't really get a sense of the best way to get into engagement. He doesn't have a speed buff, so I'm assuming turn 2 with him centers around threat mitigation. Looking at him, it seems like the options are to cloud wall and trust sac pawn to keep him alive, or put inviolable resolve on a high arm unit and let them soak your opponents alpha. I guess if you bring despoiler you can also do both.
Which of these plans do you think would work better? Also, do you feat on turn 2 to add the threat of defensive strikes, or do you save it until you can charge some stuff?

With Z2, I simply walk forward behind clouds. Then if they can hit hard enough when I take the Alpha I'll defensively feat and see if it'll get them to hold off so I get the Alpha. Or if I think I can tank things well enough I'll hold the feat until I go in then put it up. With the Feat and Counter Charge up, it's makes retaliating extremely irritating for your opponent.
With Fuel Cache, Gobbers and throwing down 2 clouds from Z2 each turn, you can make a pretty sweet cloud wall.

I've been playing him with Molik, Despoiler and two Archidonds as well as Sentry + Agonizer. So I can basically adapt on the fly. If my opponent can't see through the clouds I advance up behind them and alpha him with the feat, if he can I soak up the alpha with teh Sentry, then feat and jam all my heavies in.
In short, you don't need a speed buff if you give an opponent -3" Threat and deny their Hunter's Mark.
