This deck was used to fight the hordes of Necro decks that were popular in the Paris Qualifiers. It is strongest against the white knights decks and Necro. You can read a tourney report about this deck on the tourney reports page. I played in 3 Paris Qualifiers with this deck and my records were: 6-1-1, 5-2, 6-0-1. The deck performed amazingly well against the most popular deck types.
This deck was a lot of fun for me to play since it is very aggressive. Every card except 1 pillage damages the opponent. The theme is very much to kill the opponent. I also enjoyed playing this deck because it was original. I created the deck from scratch and did not copy an existing deck type. I made it before PT Dallas where this format was first used.
