This is a very fun deck, the
point is not to win by dealing damage but rather to draw out your
opponent. The point is to use your counterspells and lightning bolts to
control creatures and any harmfull spells while you bring out your shockers and
scalpies. Once you have your shockers out the point is to fill your
opponents hand with the wheel of fortune and the wheel and deals then put a
quicksilver dagger on your shockers and cycle out their hands. While this
is going on you also attack with the scalpies and relentless assault to tear
their deck apart even more, there are also the traumatizes to do the same thing.
Along with ambassador laquatus your can tear a deck down pretty quick. The
braingeyser can work to fill your hand or to again strip more deck. The
scroll rack is always a plus so you can get to the cards you need. I believe
this deck is extended and it is a blast to play. I have a version of this
deck that is changed for multiplayer games that has drawn out 7 decks in one
game and in a duel i have had consistent 3-5 turn
kills.
