What is the spiciest card in your deck?

There is nothing really spicy in the deck

The most interesting play was a turn two goblin recruiter by me, and then a turn two goblin recruiter by my opponent. (hmmm wonder who that could be)

Any cards seeing the Axe next week?

I might cut Pyrostatic Pillar, Intimidator Initiate, and Goblin Heelcutter

What kind of deck would you like to see do well in highlander?

I would like to see more tribal decks.

I think the deck already has the points it needs

The deck was based off Tims and AD’s list
