replace healing song with emperor's command
The idea is to stall for time with board clears (plague bearer, doomsday), removal (frogify) and healing (emperor's command, imperial guard/hold the line and radiance at last) so the opponent dies by himself from overdraw (story teller is the star here, use aurora's creation on him, and hunted outlaw is a plus). mirror phantasm is there to make trading more even, feel free to replace it.
This deck seems to always put you on the edge of loosing as your opponent will generally have more immediate control on the board (you want to let him build his strength to clear it with your removal). Being denied your wells puts you in a tight spot where you might not have enough faeria to keep the onslaught down.
Struggles against burn (no real effective healing except radiance and doomsday just gives them a reason to flameburst you to the face) and aggressive decks made of burly bodies that are too big for plague bearers and too small for frogify/last nightmare.
I love the idea, but how well does it actually work?
I edited the desription
Ahh, sounds like fun! Thanks!
Good idea ! What a pity there are not more cards that plays with overdraw of the opposant. Perhaps in the future
