It was 100k when I last checked. It's around 30k now. However, I'm trying to save money for Solaris (60k) - which will be then instant death with sentence. ^^ I still think, prohibiting healing for one round would be enough or limiting the damage to 16 max. That would take care of the avalonian queen and other abusive super-healers like overequipped rune-warriors, but would give Ba-Sthet, Zehanie and Urakia a chance, for them being at full health.
Whatever.
In standard, vizier would be the only replacement for Urakia. I think, the deck from the start post would be a good approximation as it already contains some temple guardian cards. Istaryam blade would leave for soul judgement (2) - unique - and - also unique. proves to be very effective against mages, since its back-to-hand-effect interrupts the spell-chain of compendium, lightning-pirates and sap-hearts.
The problem that I have right now is, that harshness is invaluable against mages and has to be 3 times in the deck, however almost completely useless against everything else; curse of the king-priest doubly so. can win a game by wasting two of the opponents "The Pack"-cards, but only one of it most often isn't enough. should be played in the first 1-4 rounds as often as possible, so 3 are nearly mandatory. If I rely on to discard, basking in the sun is a necessary combo against corruption, rune warrior or pirate-equips. Then that means, I have to play not only 6 but 7 swords to draw them once in a while...
I'm on 30 cards right now and I already am down to 2 Auto-healing. But I'ld like to shed some more, but I don't know, what.

I can get rid of 5 or 6 cards, because I usually have 8 or something cards in my deck left. Against super-healers however I'm forced to wait for my attack to raise up to 19/20 and need my defense or LP up to survive that long.
Any ideas which cards can be cut down to 2 or might be even removed? I mean, Just give up against mages and win 2 other games would be better than winning aginst mages, but loosing because of 2 harshnesses on the start hand, wouldn't it?
