For now, I suppose it's a feisty little pulse cannon of sorts, or something based on similar technology. It slowly evolves as it carries along on bent-up aluminum wheels, not quite sure where it's going, hoping to find a tire or two just in time to avoid an incidental falling stone; zapping, gathering, zapping, gathering....

Based on a concept I played for a while years ago, mainly when it came time for three-player. The theme actually started as something to get around my own 8-Rack deck in one-on-one, and the Basilisk Collar was a suggestion made by a friend. I definitely could be missing a better connection here and there, but it does seem like it could fare better in one-on-one than my last attempt, which was more Snapcaster and burn. Why not play Snapcaster? I haven't played in over a year, and prior to that I had only been playing a bit here and there since Scars of Mirrodin, and I'm liking the challenge of trying to grind out this mechanical/control approach without it.

Decided to entertain the idea of Plunder and Clockspinning as long as I feel like trying to work with Delay as a staple card where I can see advantages f playing it on a spell of my own here and there. Always tweaking away - definitely trying to consider a lot of different options right now, and suggestions/discussion are more than welcome. Cheers.
