Design philosophy: Capable of explosive turns (Fastbond), but mainly tries to
win with one of deck's multiple combos, or then by a lucky win with Oath against creature
decks. Another angle is to go for Academy and Draw 7s which help to refuel
against discard and counters. Deck's problem is: Control can
point targeted counter/discard to that draw7 before we get to deploy it = plan is dead and it is
hard to recover. Problem 2: Games in HL are increasingly won with established board
control and recent planeswalkers are problematic when they grind value in opposing control shells.
