This is the deck I want to take to my first Spoils Tourney (Here in Bangor, ME). I have another version that starts 2 Obsession and doesn't play poisoning, trading for more Item control with yoink! and has more characters for the Hazard Suits. That version is ok, but I really like: First turn Hyperphagic, second turn OC and Hazard Suit. A 4/4/2 that can't be allowed to hit the faction. Either way, I'd like to place well next Tuesday, any ideas?

Get rid of the knobby staffs, they just arn't worth it. I can see this deck getting beat by elitism, because it is somewhat slow, although it can be fast depending on the hand.

Also, You don't have ANY kill cards which is a very big problem, you need some rapine, scrags, and even bounce.

I would ditch the:

Clockman pickpocket
Cute Cutpurse
Red raven

I would add the:

Rapine
Scrag

Knobby Stave is a wonderful card for 0. You can reload it with the ecto cards and perversion. Even without any other discard support, making your opponent discard 1 or 2 cards during tight situations is game changing.

NO

What IS game changing is the card space wasted in a deck fielding such a poor card choice.

Everytime you draw a knobby you are NOT drawing a character or kill card.

Do a search for "Knobby Stave", read about all the reasons why it currently sucks.

ty for the back up Jesse, and I'm sorry to hear you are trying to sell your collection.

I agree with Jcaster and Cody, Knobby in constructed is a waste of card space.

If your gonna run Rogue, you have to have a few creature kill cards, especially in a slower deck. Clockman isn't worth it, especially if they throw out some silly item to get rid of it. Either way, you dont want to run one of card unless you can tudor (search) for it. The Raven I can see if your going to go the token route, but be forewarned, token decks usually do not do well. Especially when you go against creature kill. Another rogue deck, banker deck or elite deck could be bad for you without creature kill of your own.
