Well, a very interesting deck.  I like the mix of various different tools and shall have to see how it plays.  Thank you very much for posting Eugene and congratulations once more!

I am kicking myself even more now... that was very similar to the deck I didn't run.

::shakes fist at heavens::

Congrats Eugene.  Thanks for posting the deck.  It's very interesting to see what cards didn't make the cut.

9 Focus 2
3 Focus 1

Awesome!! 
 

Dishonor, control, dueling, and some strong battle actions all in one deck...  Imperial Edition + Shadowlands (for Scorpion) anyone?  Well, at least it reminds me of that time back in L5R gaming when we had things like Breach of Etiquette, Kolat Master, Iaijitsu Challenge/Duel, Sneak/Deadly, and such all in one build...

Nice mix of cards with many paths for disabling the opponent.  Congrats!

Interestingly, it shows you don't dozen playsets of rares to make a world winning deck.

 Grats on your bold analysis of such a young environment
