Ha, what deck is equal to this combination? You're right, the objectives
unbalance the game.

Sweeeeet. I thought of making this deck a while ago, I take it you used four
Stiletto's?

Hmm, I don't think I've ever seen a list for this sort of deck.

Good idea. This allows players who like the big muscle flavour to use it,
without making the game hideously unfair.

Hmm. Why the Harley in this combo, Stomper with a Katana can take Wake the
Dead without it.

P.S. could you send the lists to me? I am: mcleodn@***********.net
