See the thing you've missed is the Orun + Exile combination.
Sure, they will want to bring out Askinya/Cybele... but can they stop you using a non-referendum Banishment on them? It's a very effective way to break down someone's game as a prey. Plus as a predator, it is a +1 stealth Tap them, untap you action: it has been the key for more than 1vp with my Brutal Orun Cannon Deck.
Honestly the Sydney Metagame has not seen a "Girls will..." deck (at least that I've encountered) so I think that it must be a Euro thing.

So far Hungary has never seen one. Thanks to all gods for that!

In both Hungary & Sydney there's clearly market niche for masterful new enterpreneurettes

Honestly, a "Girls Will" deck will probably get smashed with combat

Depends on the combat and the exact version of the Girls... Some Girls deck I've seen can outfight dedicated combat decks on a good draw. Was once in a final where Girls... preyd on Enkidu and Enkidu didn't even manage to dent the deck.

Ye there are some fighty versions around with tons of animalism, but I consider the non-fighty one a lot stronger.
And of course a combat deck smashes it. Wake up call! A combat deck smashes every non-combat deck out there. But then why aren't combat decks so good? That's right, because they have trouble defending their pool and have to spend half of their actions on slowing their predator instead of killing their prey.
Cybele's special works just fine in torpor and even if she isn't there (more likely because noone in their right mind will bring her out with a combat predator) there's still Liquidation and Ashurs going on, albeit at a slightly reduced speed (until the Parthenon comes).
You're not going to oust the girls with a fight deck. Congratulations, you just made the girls deck lose. You still didn't win.
So sure, if you're on a Crusade to smash the girls just because you can, grab your Tupdogs or Potence weenies. You're not going to win though.
