Switch Devourer w/ Pride of Simon, Abimelech w/ Sisera, Ambush w/ Warrior's Spear, Naharai w/ Peter, Ram's Horn w/ 4DC, and the 3 liner w/ antiburial and I'd say that's good. :)

Maybe exchange Jephthah w/ Seeker and Harvest Time w/ Wash Basin for some deck discard fun with Warrior's Spear, which gives you another NT hero, another way to manipulate the deck for Wash Basin, and another option to help against demons. It worked well for me last year. :D
why anti burial over the 3 liner? I've found the 3 liner much more useful.

Post by: SomeKittens on December 26, 2011, 12:24:17 PM: I agree. The three-liner can be very effective, but make sure to include the shuffler as well.

It's a personal preference. I only use the 3 liner if I have the Shuffler and/or Burial in the deck as well. You have neither, and I've found it to be more of a liability w/o those cards.

Then he should be exchanging another Lost Soul (probably Speed Bump) for shuffler, which should probably be in his deck to begin with, rather than take out one of the best Lost Souls in the game (though I would recommend Red Wing use 2-Line over 3-Line). Beyond that, I pretty much agree with the other suggestions Master Q made.
