This was yet another take on grinding, with creatures that chew through cards quickly, spells that do the same, a few things to counter spells (while possibly triggering grinding), and a few other tricks. There really is no secret here: be ready to fight, and in the meantime burn a library. The 12/17/10/1 curve creates a very respectable 2.00 average cost, with Merfolk and Allies being the ways to use Call to the Kindred (the deck has no Merfolk Allies, however).
