Description: I was wondering about building a deck that was less than 60 cards - and padding it out with burn option cards - to see if there was potential for abuse (withdrawal excepted). At least from this experiment, there's no abuse to be found, but it's a fun deck to play. The Tracker's Marks were specifically chosen because they're red and thereby easy to spot in your hand, helping you to not forget to discard during other players' untap phases. I strongly suggest making room for a third Telepathic Counter. The idea for the deck comes from a deck (called Pochtli Twister) built by one of our local guys - Keith Page - a couple years ago, before Bloodlines was released. He stopped playing a while back, but I figured I'd revive the idea. - Ben Peal, Prince of Boston fudjo@mindstorm.com
