This is the final version of the 2013-14 Judge Widow deck. Same overall strategy as last year, but with significant changes. Most notable additions:
Vain Philosophy--for some reason I neglected to add Vain to my hand control deck last year...probably because the starters came out so late in the season.
Urim and Thummim--I realized hand control was even more powerful when I knew what was in my opponent's hand.
I am Holy--an awesome card for hand control as people have come to realize. I first used it in T1 with my Isaiah deck, but it made sense to add to this deck, especially with Urim and Thummim.
Covenant with Death--as players began using more anti-Rain Becomes Dust tech, I had many games that they didn't slow down my opponent at all, especially Disciple decks. I decided to drop one of the two RBDs and added two copies of CwD.
Purple Heroes w/ AoC --this was a late season add that I added as a result of Jordan's T2 deck that relies on a lot of Evil Characters that do not have a protection fort.
Women as Snares--another tech for Jordan's deck, though it obviously helps against a lot of defenses. Since I'm typically drawing fast anyway, having the extra captured characters didn't bother me much.

In the end, I wish I had cut it down 101 for Nats...felt like I had too many games where my draw was really unbalanced although in general I was happy with its performance this season.
