For black, I play the Black Lion system, which can be used against e4 and d4 which is the reason why it appealed to me, besides not being so well known.
In many lines black goes for a crazy attack on the king side (called the Lion claw) where Black does not castle, but also black just castles and it becomes the Philidor Hanham, with equal chances for black.
Anyway, you get a lot out of it without severe downsides: similar game against e4 and d4, equality for black in many lines and the possibility for going for the win with black with a king-side attack.
