A project I'm working on with a few friends to make fun and balanced duel decks.

This Cat build uses lifegain, combat tricks, energy and protection spells.

Notes: Regal Caracal has been limited to 3 and might even be limited to 2. In test plays, by the time the cat player got out two Regal Caracal's they had amassed an army of cat that were now 3/3's at least, and didn't have any need block any of the Jackal player's attacks, because the cat player would regain all the life lost when they attacked the mostly defenseless Jackal player. This has led to there being more burn spells in the Jackal deck. After more play tests if Cats consistently beat Jackals, 1 or 2 Sweltering Suns will probably be added to the Jackals to help combat the Cat's tendency to swarm.

Any suggestions on how to balance out these two decks would be very appreciated.
