Notes

Nithiyan designed this deck just before coming to Flashpoint Finchley 16. The central concept is to use Amulet of the Turtle and Ice Diadem with Sergeant Blightman to make him very hard to kill. Lesser Architect thugs like CHAR or Ghengis X will happily wear this jewellery too. There are plenty of other Architect staples to round out the deck and give it good flexibility and power generation.
Nithiyan was winning Flashpoint Finchley 16 with this deck when time was called. He sportingly chose to play on, though, and just ended up with a consolation prize. It was very nearly his third straight tournament win, though. This was his first defeat in 8 straight tournament games - a very impressive streak.
