Description of deck by its author (quoted):
And yes, there are no bananas or Umezawa's Jittes in there. I've gotten so sick of writing down that card on decklists, I'm just not going to do it. Nope. Not gonna.

If you are lucky enough to be playing against another deck that includes Black or Red, your Fellwar Stones are likely to be doing a lot of work.

Mindslicer recovery comes in many forms. There is preparation (the Tops). There is protection (the Mirror). There is extra card draw (the Confidant). There is the graveyard (Phoenix and Akuta). You even have a fail-safe switch (ping Mindslicer with Kumano before it dies, it will be removed from the game and save you the trouble of losing your hand). A lot of these tricks interact really well, also. Sensei's Divining Top, for example, does pretty well with both Dark Confidant and with Moonring Mirror. Miren can be used at a clutch moment to make everyone lose their cards as an instant, or can kill Confidants that are bringing you too dangerously close to death.

Overall, I think that this is a really fun deck that explores a lot of what it means to make a good Mindslicer deck. It might not be as honed as my Osaka Mindslicer deck was, but it's still pretty nice.
