## Notes

The concept here is to toast everything that the opposition puts out. It is intended for multi-player use and so is much larger and slower than one would use for a 2-player duel. It does contain 5 Cyclones though and these have the effect of making the deck smaller than it appears.
You can choose to use some of the toasting effects against your own smoked pile and then recycle big hitters like the Thing with Positive Chi or Netherworld Return - you get something good - the opposition gets little or nothing. Note that the much-maligned Tomb Spirit puts in an appearance for this reason.
The deck has not been especially successful and may need more tuning. It does have its moments though - my favourite is using Spirit Pole to play Whirlwind Strike on the Queen of Darkness before intercepting a wave of weenies...
