    I've played several games with this deck. Its definitely not the strongest lance, but it is different and pretty fun to play. I haven't played it enough to make any changes but there's room for tweaking, might do better with some more/stronger allies because it suffers against rush more than a traditional build. however, it does well vs burn because you can use vozition on lily to keep recycling your spelleaters. and of course, once you get the PotL cycle going you are in good shape.

    not to be a dick but he sucked if he wasted his CP on a POTL in any game but even more so while you had VO out! Plus most descent MS decks have at least 3 NYM in them which would be the undoing of this gimmicky deck.

    No you didn't… no it's not. But it is fun to play like an elementalis is fun to play with 20 attachments against a friend in an unranked game. This deck's theme doesn't win the game for you or control the board for you… it just uses a card that is different and a few cards that have summon abilities but it's only a good idea to take out your own board presence if it is either rendered useless or about to die so you'd be better off using retreats you should already have in any human deck and a couple of enemy attachment- nullifiers like A Hero Rises or ST's

    At least its a new idea, not the same deck everyone else uses and posts. Points for originality and if it works for the poster what right is there to tear it down. Offer suggestions, test it out and offer constructive criticis, in other words be a valuable part of the online community
