A Guruhi vote deck that I've been kicking around for a while,
and it's gone through multiple incarnations.  Iniko is just so
awesome.  I thought I had 5 copies in the crypt, but apparently not.
Mozambique Allure should go in for some added crypt cycling.

A deck that I played at the Origins qualifier last year, and did
kind of poorly.  It's performed well locally, but upon looking at the
decklist in detail, I think it needs more ousting power.  Also, it
needs to be updated to 3E.

Deck Name : Which_Way_Did_the_Fish_Go
Author : Xian
Description :
Clearly, Stick needs to be added.  Possibly Janye Jonestown or
Reverend Adams.  This was built pre-3rd Edition.

It doesn't appear to have enough forward pressure, maybe more Undue
Influence.

The deck I qualified with this year at Origins.  It's a deck
that Marc Lussier built and then I tweaked it a little bit.  It plays
more toolboxy than the decklist might suggest.  Malabranca is the 5th
copy of Ondine.

This is a deck I played at the NWQ in Seattle last weekend.  I built
it in half an hour the morning of the qualifier, and went into the
final as top seed with 10 VPs and 2 GWs  (4, 2, 4).

Matt (Morgan) has chided me for playing Tower of London, but I never
actually played it in any game, so I can't confirm whether or not it
would have been better or worse than Ascendance.  In previous Hordes
decks, it has come out as a net positive, but it's quite possible this
deck doesn't have enough to make it worthwhile.


Deck::  28 Minutes Later
Author:  Xian - 
Notes:  It seemed like the NWQ was going to be combatty, but I wanted
a deck that could do a lot of different stuff.  For some reason,
Shambling Hordes seemed like the way to go.  It did well in the
preliminary rounds, but I suffered critical deck failure in the final
round, and sat there not doing a lot for quite a while.  In a couple
of the games, I was sitting there trying to figure out why I wasn't
drawing into more Shambling Hordes.  I guess it's because there aren't
nearly as many as I thought I put in.  I started with 20 and then cut
down.  I also mostly felt like the Spiritual Interventions could have 
just been more Conditionings or Threats or something.  Though they did 
come in handy a couple of times.

Black Panthers

I'm not sure this is any good yet, but it's amusing. I like Iniko. A lot.

Tried it for the first time last night, had some trouble in front of 
a Giovanni S&B deck. I only had Iniko and Urenna out for most of the 
game. Card cycling just wasn't happening. This probably needs some 
more offense, and is a little toolboxy right now. I'm not sure what 
to think of Terra Incognita. It seems so good, but rarely works out 
as well as I hope.

Comments/suggestions welcome.
