Published with permission. Thanks Willow! I noticed that Willow had posted it to the Wisconsin Shadowfist Forum on 5 Mar 2007, anyone can read the original in the archive.

Willow Palecek won the Wisconsin State Championships "Who's The Big Cheese Now?" at Plattecon Upsilon (2007) using this deck. She also won the GenCon 2007 world championships using a slightly retuned version (listed down below).

 2x Whirlpool of Blood

Strategy: Play lots of Resources. Play Dangerous Experiment. Play a six cost hitter. Golden Combeback as necessary. Kill anyone who gets in your way. The trickiest part tends to be knowing when to play Dangerous Experiment.

Substitutions: If you lack some of the high-end hitters, Magog, the Queen of the Ice Pagoda, or Desdemona Deathangel will do the job. The Queen is especially handy if Shadowy Mentors are popular in your play-group. I don't have the new version of Homo Omega; I'd be worth running it for the tech requirement.

The Bonechills and CHARs are more or less interchangable, and mix and match with your preferred 4 cost hitters as you like. These guys are there to get you a burn for power. Shung Dai almost made it into this slot.

The Rocket Man, Aerial Bombardments, and Final Brawls are anti-weenie, which is needed my local metagame. If yours tends towards bigger characters, the Rocket man will probably be better off as a bigger hitter, and the Aerial Bombardments should probably be Imprisons.

The deck doesn't use that much tech; substituting Stormtroopers for the DNA Mages should give it a little more to do in the early game, and they even fit the 'theme'.
