   O.K., so I haven't taken this deck to a tourny and the locals say Stasis
won't work in the current t2, BUT I''ve been playtesting this for a while
against good players and doing well. Of course they always say it's a fluke
when I win the first game, but they don't say anything after it's won 5 out of
7.
   This deck has serious problems against new red(Mog Fanatics, Goblin
Bombardment, AND Fireblast YUCK) but I haven't played any side boarded games
yet and the addition of a couple Chills and Capsize replacing weenies should
make all the difference in the world.
   The strength of this deck lies in multiple roads to permanent stasis. Then
you either deck them (reshuffling with the Intuition/Blessing combo) or beat
them down with weenies
   The worst thing is when I keep drawing blessings first three turns when I
need action and I'm getting beat down. Thought about taking some out but they
are just to useful most of the time.
   With 3+ of all the combo cards, Intuition might as well be demonic tutor.
The hardest part about running this deck is deciding when to rush into a
semi-lock and when to hold out for the real thing.
   Onother thing, it's always fun to 1st turn Root Maze second turn Stasis
without ever letting your opponent have a single mana--it's rare but
satisfying.

Oh yea, I haven't played a good Necro--that could be a problem with lots of
land and hand destruction. Not sure what to sideboard against that. Suggests
would be appreciated.
