Shalmath Silliness

How do you intend to oust? Bleeding
How do you intend to keep from being ousted? Ally blockers and rushers for key minions, not spending very much pool, continuous pool gain
What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)? Shalmath, at least 2 allies, 1-2 other vamp by end game
What do you want your average turn to look like? My turn or another player's turn? My turn, mostly untap with clothos and hunt, lots. Maybe a SH and a Sargon's action.
What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play? Mostly playing on JOL at the moment
What problems have you observed with the deck in play? Weenie swarm is the death of this, as well as a really strong !Ven grinder.

Unless this gets shut down pretty hard, early in the game, i tends to be able to build up and establish itself as a fairly good fortress style deck. Once the first oust occurs, you can usually take the table at that point.

Key SH actions: Ankara, AK-47 and sargons, also aarons.
Enkil cog is nice to have, madness network is awesome, but the deck can win without either

Not alot of Pentex Subversion in your meta? In my experience nobody can handle Shalmath, so when he gets a Pentex no other player would free him from it. The Shalmath decks in our meta use 2-3 own Pentex AND 4-6 Wash/Sudden AND 3-4 Rewind Time. And they aren´t even 90 cards

Hehe last time I had Shalmath next to me he spent lot of time sensory overloaded.

Any deck lists?

I see support minions with obfuscate and outferior effects of temporis giving some stealth or dodge.

Not great, but could burn pentex. Id be more worried about sense dep. Good luck burning the minion who plays it when the key minion is out.
But allstar decks have this problem, its just how it works.

Shalmath doesn't really care about sense dep with his special...
