The Cryptic Treaty

Deck Name : Cryptic Treaty
Author : Juggernaut1981
Description :
Cryptic Mission + Corruption Counter Tech
You should always discard, since you plan to get back tech you need later with Ashur Tablets. In the early parts you should especially discard to get hold of Treaty of Laibach, without it the deck plays grindingly slowly because of the lack of Serpentis.
You use Cryptic Missions + Weigh the Heart to deploy Corruption Counters. Most people tend not to block the Cryptic Mission if it is done to a sufficiently secondary or large-capacity minion. Note: Weight the Heart allows you to drop the Corruption Counter on ANY minion, and from cardtext does not need to be declared until later. CMs are used in combination with Temptations, Young Bloods, Greg Winter and Impundulu to borrow useful minions (like blockers, minions with +bleed, predator vampires, etc).
You then turn around and bleed with Revelation of Desire for between 3 and 6 (depending on the minion).

Predators are often stalled between light-block of key actions and grinding blood from key minions with the Allies & Cryptic Missions.

Nice, I've always wanted to try out a Treaty of Laibach deck so I might barrow the idea. Amam the Devourer might fit nice in here as he only cost 2 pool and can harass pretty well. Also some Eye's of Argus might be useful.

The other 4 cardslots I'm thinking should possibly be On the Qui Vive, just so you can block periodically with a big fat Impundulu...

Ummm WHAT Ashur Tablets????

In any case, even if you do add 6 or 9 of them into the deck, it appears that your deck -- and, really, most Ashur decks -- is far too large and repetitive at 90 cards.

Edited the original deckpost... because of brain explosion or a possible old version.

The corruption angle is totally superfluous to this deck. Temptation + cryptic mission is a combo, but with only 7 corruption cards in the deck they will most likely not make a significant impact.
