This deck is really cool and has a unique pattern of play. However, it's too cutthroat. It can't go slow. Either my opponents are at full health, or they're dead. If you don't have an answer on turn 5, you will take lethal damage. And each turn after that, same story. No answer, another person loses the game. I can't imagine this deck being fun to play against, so I'd only play it in the first game of the night, the game that is played for store credit. But again, I can't imagine this deck making a great first impression on a group of strangers. And I value the enjoyment of my opponents too much to risk that.

In summary, great brew, not for the faint of heart.
