Hi Frank,

   This is basically the deck that Al Sousa has been writing about,
"king fish". It's basically a weenie orb deck with a couple of
intresting twists. First of all, the most striking and odd feature is
that it's monoblue. Also, the presence of counters/winter orbs gives it
a strong element of control, which can be deadly when paired with the
speed of the deck. I hope everyone finds the deck as competitive as Al
and I have. The decks that Al and I use also have a few diffrences. I
think he uses 2 firewalkers instead of the dissipates, and I know that
he uses 4 powersinks in favor of the memory lapses. I initially had
firewalkers standard, but move them to the board. Finally, Al has
unquestionably contributed much to the development of the deck as well
as the playtesting, thanks Al:).
