Requiem for a Temple

This is, more or less, Spags' World's 2018 deck. Between FFG and Nisei, though, almost all the OP assets from the Mumbad cycle are either banned or on the MWL, so I had to drop the Temples; thus the name (Spags' original title was mourning the loss of Museum for similar reasons). I chucked in a couple Marked Accounts and a Best Defense for Misdirection and called it an evening. It's a poor, poor replacement for Temples, but whatcha gonna do.

So my thoughts were that since Crowd Funding is on the MWL, it'll be in less decks. The last tournament I went to was dominated by Hayley with some Val here and there (although being won by a 419 GPI deck). I figured with Shapers probably ditching CF for other influence (since they need Aesop's still), this might be a fine thing.

Aside from the first Val deck I played (and won against), every matchup was a Criminal, with the worst being someone on 419 Power Tap Nexus. This is a literal nightmare. I only lost 2 games with it overall, but man did I ever lose those games. The other 3 rounds I murdered people, which is what the deck does when it's not curving out with Lady Liberty.

So my thoughts are... maybe don't play CTM right now still =P. It did fine, but it couldn't go all the way, which felt sad. It was still good enough to land me 4th, though I wished I'd brought a different deck almost the entire day.
