Yeah, I put in the notes it's his deck, I haven't changed it at all from what he posted. I feel like I'd want one more  {Cunning Wish}, but I haven't actually tested with it.

How do you ID games?

You tell your opponent I can't win but I'm going to continuously do the loop unless we draw to the next game.

Oh that's crazy!

Oh Dan, dreaming of decks but not deciding which one to build...

At the GP he traded for a painters servant on a whim, but has very little intention of putting that deck together.

I digress; looks sweet!

I have like 7 decks partially built. Haha

Why is duress in this deck list? If we want to have self discard as a backup to filling the graveyard, why not cabal therapy?

I remember this deck type back when Judgment first came out. Very nasty deck if you can't stop it...

Duress is just to protect the win-cons, not for self discard you'll never have anything to use to flashback therapy. You could test it with therapy, but I don't think it'll be better...

Fair enough. I just think it debatable whether therapy or duress is better at hitting opponents, so I give the edge to the one that will, on rare occasion, win you the game by being able to get dragon from hand into graveyard.

Yeah, could be a thing. There are 13 ways to get something into your own graveyard main deck though, but it might come up on occasion.
