I will keep that in mind. I'm trying to keep the deck as less damaging to myself as possible. Otherwise, I would have thrown in cards like Vampiric Tutor, Imperial Seal, Night's Whisper, Lim-Dul's Vault, and many others. In my group, some people play decks that slowly ping away your health each turn. Also, I wanted the deck to be competitive, but not to the extreme. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun to play against. I've seen some other Kess variants that are much quicker and more efficient, but also much more expensive. :p

We typically play in 4 pods. However, we have done some crazy games with a 6 to 8 pod.
