The Epic Thief

[walked]

So this deck has been circulating around and it is one of the grindiest decks I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

It feels close to optimal, but not quite there. It's impressed me, however, as one of the most intensely satisfying decks to pilot in a while. A little tight for time; but wanted to get a thread up here as I havent seen anyone discussing the merits of this deck anywhere.

Has anyone else had the pleasure of giving it a run?
