Your “rube goldberg” combo was an important piece to further the development of the deck, and it did exactly what we were looking for from the board to combat hate. with that said it was a very time consuming to resolve, and I had the privilege of resolving this combo on turn 2 against AZKitty(luckily for me I finally won after storm 95 while my opponent had taken a nap woke up, ate a sandwich, checked all his social networking sites and still had time to tell me about it). After this experience I absolutely had to find another way, so after a short conversation with shaffa we swapped out Gnaw to the Bone for Gray Merchant to reduce the time it takes to win, and it adds another creature to boot!

In place of Gnaw we’re running Gray Merchant. Nets 3 life per cycle but shoots for 6. So if they get to 30 it should just take 5 cycles as opposed to 16-23 like it does with spy.

(Unless he’s playing 55-land treasure hunt).

Probably better to go truly infinite by getting back the Gnaw, though.

@sam: yes unfortunately Twitch seems to have glitched on us, but if you check out shaffa’s twitter he has photos of several first turn wins he’s managed to pull off with the deck since our discussion, as far as the beatdown strategy he employed well it was funny to watch and mostly came down to hard casting Street Wraith’s and attacking lol

I’m not sure why this happened, as I set our Twitch channel to default-archive the videos, but now they’re gone. :(

It’s too bad because JustSin did a really great job casting, and the matches were really exciting.
