BEN'S DECK NOTES: I'd been thinking about building a War Ghoul deck for a while, but acquiring the 10 of them that one needs for the usual 60-card version looked to be a pain in the neck. So, I thought about applying the tech developed with the Pochtli Twister deck, building a version that was 30 or so cards, with half the War Ghouls, and padding out the deck with burn option cards. This would save me from having to get more War Ghouls, and I figured that it'd be extremely rare that an ally rush decks would bring out 6 or more such allies anyway. When Mata Hari was printed, I decided to build the deck, as she could take easy advantage of Waste Management Operation and I liked the superior Obfuscate. Josh Feuerstein then clued me into the fact that the burn option cards could be D'habi Revenants, as they can be discarded via burn option, and Mata Hari could employ them for use in creating War Ghouls (though not for the bleed bonus). I ran with the idea and included a variety of other burn option cards, such as Riddle Phantastique and Chanjelin Ward. The deck proved to be highly effective, the only worry being that Mata Hari might get immediately rushed via Red List when she comes out, before a Secure Haven or Chanjelin Ward could be put on her. As such I recommend dropping a couple Obfuscate stealth cards and including a couple copies of Mirror Image. Another discovery was how solid it was to bring back Jake Washington via the Waste Management Operation, as it allows you to stop one rushing minion cold every turn. Props to Josh Feuerstein for the D'habi Revenant idea, and to Ruben Vidana Ramos and Stephane Lavrut whose War Ghoul decks I used as references (and to Lasombra Jeff for the TWD Archive!).
