Basically the same deck as I ran last year, except that Little Grasshopper
and especially Buddhist Monk meant I could make the deck more reliable by
cutting back on Ascended stuff. Now only 2 cards plus the Bull Markets need
more than one Asc resource.


Clearly the deck doesn't need to be this big, probably should be around 80
or 90 cards. There is basically no search (2x Shield of Pure Soul,
Cassandra), and I don't get close to decking even in a long game. This would
mean running 3x and 4x instead of 5x. I don't understand the game well
enough to know what should go. Any opinions?



Thanks to everybody who came - it's good to have people playing for
enjoyment of the game instead of $$$ - any MtG players will know what I
mean.


Cheers,
Tony
