Notes

This deck was built out of leftover cards, so it could be a lot better. I just whipped it up in half an hour, and made a few changes (like adding in Bronze Sentinels) to give it a decent chance in multiplayer. If I were to remake it, I'd put in more Dragon cards, like Last Outpost, and get more decent sites, especially city-based sites. I'm waiting to get Flashpoint and see if I can redo this deck from bottom up. Until then, JWFV stands as it is, and does remarkably well in multiplayer. It shines when some fool tries to burn for Power...

Keep in mind; this isn't a cutthroat deck, it's just a theme deck.
