The goal: short to medium length multiplayer games with interesting combat steps.

I should probably cut some ramp, removal, and utility for more creatures. Especially creatures with high power/cmc or evasion. I'll see how this version plays before making too many changes.

I should have Elesh Norn, Flametongue Kavu, Fervor, and Gratuitous Violence in the main. I need to trade for them.
