Wow great deck ! Congratz for the win.


I'm quite curious I see no action modifiers others than chimestry block fails. What I mean is there is 0 obf stealth, 0 nec stealth and 0 daring the dawns. As all the key actions (possession and psychic veil) are 0 stealth actions doesn't this deck ever run into a scenario where you can't oust 3 players before running into a crappy hand and Ivan in ash heap. The next turn you must perform successful possession or psychic veil with 0 stealth and they can all be blocked. Of course you should have many minions by that time and they can all try at least another of the actions and most of them can freak and try another.

I'm just wondering wouldn't it make this deck more robust if it had like 1 daring the dawn, 1 veil the legions and 1 spectral divination in it?

hence Pascal's, emphasis mine, "Someone FINALLY won with this deck!"

Veil and Spectral are useless here.

Ivan's first action should be a Psychic Veil. Add Will-o'-the-Wisp (sup) to remove block ability from everyone. Who cares it's a 0 stealth action now?
Freak Drive, equip with Soul Gem (that's a 2 stealth action). Add enough Will-o'-the-Wisp to get down to 1 blood.
Daring the Dawn.

If you're "lucky", the new guy can play Psychic Veil + Freak Drive + Possession (if there's no intercept guy around).
And then, Ivan comes back, plays Psychic Veil, empties with WotW, all your actions now have +2/+3 stealth.


Daring the Dawn could be included, I agree.
