Maybe be was transcribing a handwritten list. Like, I have a noteboom of current-ish decklists, and if anyone thinks me fat-fingering wrong buttons on forums posts is bad, theyd off themselves if they had to read my scrawled out lists. So, pbz coulda been Zurich, and wv wider view, as the most logical interpretations, for instance. Ive thought about running Zurich in my dead hooker samedi (basic Dead hookers and bleedimg, bloat things, and some combatbecause wither rocks) but didnt want to have yet another action. Seems solid, but its somethimg else id need to freak drive and do. May make its way in though.

Those were in the deck, I think that was Kevin questioning the inclusion of those cards in the deck. Wider View just gets in the way in this deck, since you almost always have transfers to use to gain 2 pool from minions.

Ive always worried about having spare actions, since normally with Samedi and dead hookers i have more to do in my hand than untapped minions (8-10 freak drives though, not 27). I dont worry alot about its steal mechanism, since the only deck that can routinely generate the edge before untapping is Cock Ronin cog (or my old Anatole deck, but normally i can burn the edge for pool to Victoria and not waste an action and 4 transfers for it).

I think I drew it in rounds 1 and 2 and just refused to put it into play and discarded it since I couldn't guarantee I wouldn't lose control of it and the deck already had enough actions to keep it busy. *It getting stolen was a real threat since I don't think I had more than a handful of games all week that did not have an Enkil Cog hit the table somewhere.

PB:Z is interesting since you play Off Kilter and bleed a lot, but I think you'd want a few more Off Kilter to make it really worthwhile.

27 freak drive..why not mylan, too?? - camera phone +1 js simmons or similar, for diversity (fear to archons in the baron, maybe)

> 27 freak drive..why not mylan, too?? > I have no idea why not. Several times during a game I had to pause and wonder why a specific card was in the deck.
