"Everyone loves the circus, and even more joy can be had once this deck comes into play.  Children of all ages will enjoy the flash and wonder within the big tent.  They'll gasp in amazement at the wondrous variety of animals inside the three ring circus.  They'll 'oooh' and 'ahhhh' at the use you get out of the 'Jester' artifacts.  But then again, they may just whine and moan when Pyrotechnics clears a way for your firebreathing Bird Maiden and your Chaos Harlequin to crack the Fire Whip all over their front lines.

The Circus Deck really gets rolling once the lions, tigers and (of course) bears start filling out of their cages and into play.  If you get either of the jester's toys into play, you can try and convince your opponent that making cards leave the game right under their nose really *is* fun.  Bring your Illicit Auction, wallet and tourniquet with you for when something big appears on the other side that you want.  Who can pass up an elephant on the high wire?

Game getting boring?  Break into a Game of Chaos, or head on over to the Wheel of Fortune to liven things up a bit.  The deck may be a little on the large side, but it's got more fun than a Volkswagen full of sweaty clowns."
