[sindbad7cs]

I picked up the following singles to tweak even before play-testing:

1 Predator Ooze
1 Hamlet Captain
1 Autumn's Veil (sideboard-bound)

Thoughts? Anyone around?!

I brought the Predator Ooze into the main deck and dropped the Village Survivors entirely.

The Autumn's Veil is going into the sideboard in place of the extra Travel Preparations.



Oh, BTW, the silence in here is deafening...
