The fact that multiple spaces aren't allowed on this software is fucking dumb.

Someone else can write it up so it doesn't look like complete and utter shit, I guess.

Congrats. And nice deck, too. One of our local players has a similar deck, which is annoying as hell to played against. He plays less Conditioning/Mirror Walk and a higher number of Cryptic Missions iirc.

The Hunger Moon is a really fine addition to the deck!

Apparently the deck can actually do something when it doesn't run into me repeatedly just regaining lost blood with Voter Caps.
