Commentary:
The deck plays itself; don't lay more than 2 sites until you go for the win. The Righteous Heaven Stance should be a 2nd Wind on the Mountain and Monkey House should be a Festival Circle. Steven Wu definately has a place in the deck; I'm just not sure where. A 2nd Blood of the Valiant would be pretty good as well.
