The current deck has three gameplans.
The first is to resolve Volrath's Shapeshifter and use its abilities to frustrate everyone at the board. The money combo is with Essence of the Wild in the grave. Every dude you play while this pair is online will turn into a Volrath's Shapeshifter -- a permanent change. Choice!
The second is to resolve Haakon. This guy is a house; there's simple combos like Nameless Inversion and Crib Swap, but he turns into an absolute bomb with Aluren. The major problem here is that, while the pieces are cheap, there's quite a few of them. The eventual noose should be enough to kill everyone at the table -- it's a pretty solid lock -- but it realistically takes about 3 turns to set up. It won't be winning any awards for combo of the year.
Finally, there's Scion. He flies in the air, disrupts opponents, reanimates old friends and then dances on everyone's head, all at the low cost of 4B spread over two turns. This is gameplan C for a few reasons -- it's old hat, and everyone's seen it before; I don't have greaves, so it's pretty chancy; and I haven't found anything really interesting to do with him yet. (Hellkite Igniter is amazing, but the color and artifact requirements are too steep for this deck.)
So that's what's planned for Friday (and Wednesday, if I can get a game in that night).
