There is more potential now for a hand wrecking deck than ever with Wages..

I have a Flood Survivors deck designed to purge an opponent of all evil which does work effectively. I'll post it here but I'm interested in what you could cook up.

Josiah won nationals with Blue Gray.. Could something along those lines win again?

Maybe,

It's hard to believe, but the game was slower 5 years ago. Reserve also gives you semi-easy access to cards beyond your hand. Sites are also far more vulnerable today, and I can promise you as someone who lost to Josiah twice at Nationals that year, his sites mattered

Haha and 10 years ago it was even slower! I remember when the first "speed" deck aka agro deck was brewed up. The community was split for a number of years on whether or not decks were becoming too fast.

Here is one concept considered:

4x Saul Paul with Love Christ's Triumph etc to give your opponent maximum d9s intentionally followed by hand control and board wipe..

Honestly, if you give a top player a free d9 on purpose they are going to have what they need and want. I'm not taking bunches of D9's when I have power in my hand.

I think JD is baiting because he has an Entrapping deck in mind :-)

Haha I'm officially not playing this season..

But I do love the creative discussions! Think about it though. . D9s with 8 hand size you immediately wipe.. 9x5 is their whole deck.. In 3 or 4 turns you can have them decked and wiped.. After that you just finish their hand and they are out of gas

I imagine it has something to do with choose the blocker, RBD, and Paul. Essentially a judge widow idea.
