- Falling behind in mana is deadly - both decks are capable of ending a game.
- Warband Vanguard + War Banner backed up by removal is amazing
- Turn 2 Chill Conduit is a sight to behold, in this deck apparently a fair card though

- The red deck (Calamox) has proven itself to be able to shift gears between aggressive and reactive with "doing stuff during my opponent's end step" cards Goblin Fireslinger and Vulshok Excruciator
- War's Fanfare stopping Lurking Horror is neat and makes the red tutor rare a decidedly interesting play
- The black tutor card, Winter's Fall is a bid lacking - mostly because the black deck lacks the snow type on toolbox cards - it's mostly early game creatures and Equipment
- Chill Conduit is too risky against the range of the red deck, unless the black deck gains some life gain in the form of maybe lifelink or drain - Gutless Ghoul doesn't gain enough life to offset the life loss suffered just activating the ability. A passive source of life would be preferable
- The decks perform both very well without the face cards, so making those more prominent might be a goal
- Calamox burning away blockers works well enough though it didn't manage to shine they way a mythic is supposed to yet
- Duergin, Winter's Chill dies too easily to removal and/or comes out too late.
- Frostveldt Pests look like they are waiting for that seven mana card to cast that doesn't exist
- Brisk Knife has now repeatedly not added much to the game
- Decimator Dragon hit the board just to die immediately, but the threat was palpable

- Finally got around to conclussively play a match with storage lands and they are just too bad (also decks actually don't play the way that would make storage lands good anyway)
- Damage prevention is no thing, Vulshok Emberfist
- replace tutor cards with two-mana variants?
- (Duergin, Winter's Chill needs more presence
