    I'm not sure if that is the correct name of this opening but I thought it would be a useful way to sidestep weird d pawn openings.

     

    The move order I use is 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 c5 3.e3 cd 4.ed d5. 
    If White insists on a Colle then after 5.Bd3 Bg4 6.c3 I can play a minority attack and if White tries 5.c4 I can play against the isolated pawn. If this works then I can just play thematic positions without having to know any tricks. Is this workable with a move order like 1.d4 Nf6 2.e3 c5?

    Here is a game I played with the type of position I am aiming for. I got a technical pawn structure just as I wanted. The only problem was tactics.

     

    The game wasn't perfect but I got a good position in the middlegame and was able to find some cool looking moves like g5 too. This is basically what I am shooting for.
