The problem I often have here is, that there are challenges I can not
sleaze or fight (like Highway Showdown or Guardian Dracoform) early in
the game, so my opponent has time enough to set up the big guys. If
anyone has ideas for a really fast deck, that can handle some of the
nastier challenges, they are highly welcome.
