This deck was conceived during my absence last September. I didn't have had the time to assemble it or test it, but when i saw that Vicent Ripoll won the EC 2009 Day 1 tournament, i decided to give it a try. You might consider this deck as a mix between Vicent Ripoll EC TWD and Ruben Feldman's "Vignes" deck. I decided to play with Auspex to explore Aura Reading. It was a surprise to all players and a good advantage to me, because i was able to look at their hands and bled irresponsibly. Future improvements, remove "Recruiting Party", change Fortitude prevention.
