Notes
The concept here is to toast everything that the opposition puts out. It
is intended for multi-player use and so is much larger and slower than
one would use for a 2-player duel. It does contain 5 Cyclones though and
these have the effect of making the deck smaller than it appears.
You can choose to use some of the toasting effects against your own
smoked pile and then recycle big hitters like the Thing with Positive Chi
or Netherworld Return - you get something good - the opposition gets little
or nothing. Note that the much-maligned Tomb Spirit puts in an appearance
for this reason.
The deck has not been especially successful and may need more tuning.
It does have its moments though - my favourite is using Spirit Pole to
play Whirlwind Strike on the Queen of Darkness before intercepting a wave
of weenies...
