Top 4 - Team Foxhound's Sir Shajir

The Following except was posted by Shajir on the FFG forums describing the use of the deck. I felt it was a good idea to take it in whole as context for the deck list.
Any other players who want to add commentary about their decks, feel free to  forward it to me, and I'll have it added.
The deck was buitl by Tanner.  We faced each other at the michigan regionals where we drew because he beat me game one and I was able to beat him game two with destinty and dormant for millions of years.  At that time I was looking for a way to kill people wiht only 1 attack as I felt it was still the best way to kill people.  For montreal I only ran 4 Spiral Arrows as my attack which made the deck check very consistantly. The character is purely for the handsize.  The character ability is nice, and I use it when games become too tight for my sake like if im at sub 10 life and I don't feel safe.I took the deck and tuned it according to what I saw fit for the Quebec regionals where I was able to win king of swiss and 1st place.  

The general basis of the deck is hitting your opponent with Juni's spiral arrow while your opponent is completely committed.  Getting hit with the spiral arrow ussually is game for the opponent.  The deck has a couple of problems with certain cards like torn hero, destiny, dormant for millions of years, so I added the best attack in the meta Ira Spinta and the deck had to be changed like more tenacious and some lord of the makai to loop spintas and for the sideboard plan of feline spike loops.  In rochester, I wanted to play something new for thier meta, so I went with a more conservative version of order/water donovan similar to Jon Herr's deck. I liked both decks but wasn't sure what to play.  So I made my sideboard the most expensive sideboard in the game with 3 feline spikes, 2 defenders, and 3 rejections, to combat a heavy aggresive deck.  I found that people never expect a control deck to transform into a completely different archetype such as a hybrid or agro deck. For this reason some sidebaord cards like dormant for millions of years have been shoved into the mainboard.
