indeed.
it is worth noting that the deck was aimed at local meta, which is more combat oriented and not stealth heavy lately. comes out it was a good choice, even though it didn't shine in local games.

What I like most in the deck is the use of Earthen Sword, which is one of the most elegant card in the game : simple, efficient, and yet never seen anywhere else

I love earth swords, and i have a very combaty kiasyd deck listed out that uses AotA and earthswords to shock the hell out or everyone. Unfortunately, i own 0 AotA, so its been on hold for awhile.

But yea, very good way to deal with combat. My meta used to be lotsa combat, and still is to a point, but for some reason, its gotten very blocky, and since ES punishes that nonsesense, i always enjoy seeing it.
