Desk: Beasts on the plains, twirling their canes Description: This desk is inspired by Hugh Angseesing's deck (and others) of similar name. I wanted to see if I could make the Fortitude combat + WWS work for Akunanse. Since the bleed offense is obviously weaker without dom, and because I wanted to use Freak Drive and have 2 useful actions for each minion, I added votes, which worked pretty well. No Secrets is strong, but I was afraid of Pentex, so I wanted to play a deck that had a reasonable chance of getting out 2 Magaji. Also, using the Matt Morgan school of thought, I wanted to have some good non-threatening building actions early-game, while my prey weakens my grand-prey. Wise Spider and Owl Companion are great for that. This deck has limited untaps, but canceling bounces with Terra Incognita requires only one untapped minion, which was pretty easy given Wise Spider or influencing out a new minion.
