I like the Dutch defense against queen pawn openings 1. d4 f5 . It's quite rare which makes is good at catching your opponent off guard, but not because its an unsound/tricky opening. It's a bit like a reverse Sicilian defense, and plays is itself usually. The main bit is getting your knight to f6, pawn to g3 and bishop to g2. After that lines diverge but I often like to go for a kingside attack, while trying to block white access to that side with your pawn chain.
