Notes:

Don't die, don't let anyone else win, hang on and build, eventually win with big green serene thugs. If I were going to play more, I'd probably try and trim the deck some, maybe take out a couple of the must-die targets (Quan Li, Tranquil Persuader?) and speed it up a little so it would have some chance against a dueling deck. On the other hand, having just one or two each of the more powerful, weird cards worked out pretty good, as people were never quite sure what I was going to do next.
