New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
I didn't find capture protection too much of a problem to be honest. Did you find yourself using DD alot?
Ok, I feel you. How was your record at Nats? Whose minor two or three changes between you and prolijar proved to be better?

I felt that Thorns was an awesome add, and it trolled a Just a Hireling and a Suicidal Swine Stampede (almost got a DoU played while it was out too), as well as stopped a few Hormahs. Olijar likes his Abednego.

I would probably say it wasn't fast enough. Looking at the deck again, it's fast, but not blazing fast.
I originally thought RDT would post it, since he placed, but it's been a couple days, so he's either still working on a game-by-game summery, or isn't going to post it. There's been a lot of talk about The Deck, so I thought I'd post my version so we could actually have something to refer to. The 51 card version had Birth Foretold in it.
Live Coal is CBN on Michael as well.You have no idea how usefull that card is.

The main difference being that James and I were playing what we call AutO^2 decks - While everyone else who played 'The Deck' was playing a Samuel variant that looked similar to James' and my deck.

They may have Samuel in it, but it is by no means a Samuel deck. The vast majority of rescues were Jacob/Simeon to AutO --> Moses in the early game, and finally the big Daniel band late game. It's still built around the same concept and will probably be less than 10 cards different.
This is a frivolous semantics argument. Samuel may indeed hurt the deck. I've been saying it'd be the first cards I'd drop, I just never got around to trying it out before nats, so I left them in. To draw a line between the two because of Samuel seems silly to me. Same concept, but whatever.
so this is "The Deck".after looking it over, it looks VERY weak. how in the WORLD did this deck ever win nationals? i see very few battle winners and this deck seems like a piece of cake to tear apart in game
