*I have taken wide liberties with this deck name and breakdown, it is not endorsed in any way shape or form by Ankit. In fact, he probably hates it.
It is fortunate for the rest of us that this list wasn't optimised for the legal sets, and instead just ran most of its default power-list cards, adding filler for lost content. The odd priority of may into the spiders is a decent midgame move, but ironically serves little-to-no help vs the mirror match, the infinite builds or anything that can go fast. The retaliator feels forced as those 4 cards warrant the lost uniqueness skirting abilities the list wants. And a single flaccid Cable remains to remind us how this list used to want bodyslides too.
This may have been Ankit's plan all along however, as 7 of us desperately teched and tested for the most absurd exiles legal list, while he laughed, cut pasted a few quick swaps and then played fortnight for a month.
