No on line antonym dictionary I found had an antonym for stratagem.
So...I looked up the exact definition of stratagem: 1) a kind of scheme to deceive others; 2) a military ploy or maneuver to outwit or deceive the enemy.
The synonyms include: trick, ruse, ploy, wile, subterfuge, feint, Dodge, device, scheme, plot.
Therefore to general connotation of stratagem is "devious" or "underhanded" or "sneaky."
Antonyms of that connotation are...........
................aboveboard, straight, unconcealed, square
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I also looked up "strategy." Definitions include plan, policy, approach, tactic, line of attack .... AND even "stratagem". All of this leads me to conclude that while both mean "a plan",
- A strategy is a method or plan which is not concealed or underhanded or mean-spirited
- A stratagem is a method or plan which is nefarious or intended to deceive or harm.
