Today I defeated an ally-less Darkclaw for the very first time. I had just modified Wyborn's deck to include 3 Sandworms instead of 2 Erika's and a Raven. I built my army, bided my time, and towards the end I struck.

I didn't see any DarkClaws for a while, and when I did, I hadn't taken any specific anti-DC arrangements. I do carry King's Pride now, I sacced all my Blood Frenzies, but in the end I still succumbed, mainly to his Evil Ascendant and all his hiding.
