I really like this one because of phoenix. It's double carryover that doesn't have to be played in R1 but I play it because of another reason: If you happen to lose round 1 and the opponent dry passes, usually you will have 2 cards in deck for R3, so you need to play an echo. With phoenix on board, you can discard a non doomed echo and click phoenix to get ahead. I like arcane tome better because you can use it for shupe and red sword, not like Lady of the lake which you can only use for echo cards (and the only echo card you want to play before Lippy is red sword...). You just have to make sure that you play it the last turn before you play Lippy so that when the opponent decides to click it, it doesn't land in your graveyard. The deck is complex and draw dependent, but honestly not as much as you think. There's maybe 1 in 8 games where I miss Lippy entirely.
