As with so many things, Adset really does help the faction. Having that much better of a chance to start with something useful to craft in the opening hand, especially a card that grants you a better option to interact on the board than "hope the lost souls goes your way", and knowing when NOT to play them in a given matchup means when you do play Lizards, you're in a better position to pull a win.

I am training myself on Root Digital to win with Lizards (and everyone really) on standard setup with base deck, just so that I don't have to always rely on adset and partisans. I've been doing fairly well, but I'm also not comfortable going past Easy AI yet. However, Lizards were the first faction I played the one intro game I played years ago, and while I lost spectacularly their playstyle and vibes really felt cool to me. What I'm finding out the more I practice on Digital is that I tend to favor the Insurgent factions - while I have so far won at least once with the original six except for Otters, I tend to get consistently closest playing Lizards, WA, and Vagabond. And I only played one game as Otters so far and am about to try them again using *your* guide (this is also why I can't wait to afford Underground and try the Crows out)

They can build a huge army and wipe out your gardens. They often actually BENEFIT if you turn their roosts into gardens as now they can place another roost without turmoiling and if they have despot they get 2 VP for free.
