This was yet another iteration of the “block at your own risk” decks, combining many of the usual suspects (shadow, flanking, Farrel’s Mantle), but adding a lot of combat support. Unlike many of its predecessors, this one could actually do something early. The cost is pretty high at 2.88 on a curve that is 8/9/10/8/4/0/1 curve. However, with only 13 cards above the 3-spot, it was cheap enough. If made today, there probably could have been nothing above the 3-spot from this except perhaps the Pentarch Paladins.
