Thanks  :)

I really liked your combination of Pale Green/Gray for False Peace Divination...when no one runs Naz or HSR, that's even more effective than my Fortress/Messenger.

Yea I too was surprised by no naz. Do you think that's because everyone likes searching? I mean recent expansions have increased it all over the brigades and it is more widespread than in years past. :o

That would be my guess. Naz tends to slow games down and I think people realize that slowing T2 MP games down is only going to lead to time outs wins at best for them. That being said, I was very surprised not to see any Signet Rings.

No hoppers, cbp, priests of zeus, writ, magic charms or Aocp?  :o Good win it sounds like the deck dominated this year.

I decided to go with a Dragon Raid instead of Hoppers. I assumed that everyone would be trying to draw so there wouldn't be a LS shortage too often. I also really hate having Hoppers be wasted by FBTN LS.

Priest of Zeus was in an earlier version, but he became a liability when someone had Judges w/ Ehud (though once I did surprise someone with Lurking after they chose PoZ). I tried running Kingdoms of the World to keep him safe but just felt fluffy so they both came out.

I would definitely choose Charms over Writ, but since I was also running Blue Tassels, I didn't want those to conflict. I'm planning to cut the non-Magicians for this season to add the new ones at which point I'll likely fit in a Charms or two.

The non-use of AoCP you can read about in the Land of Redemption article.  8)
