Actually this type of deck is pretty quick to come out, and once out
just keeps going turn after turn. I wouldn't recomend using the Elementals
though. THey really are little more then free Rep for an opponent...
>I might just have to see how something like that plays...
I wouldn't recomend plaing it with friends. Heck I wouldn't even use it
in a tournament. For the most part it just upsets the player you are
playing against. At Gen Con I will be playing my hman deck. It might
not be the stongest deck. However, it holds its own and has never been
called cheap.
I posted the contents of my Shaman deck yesterday, so you might want to
check it out.
