| Considering Frank Karsten's first game in the Top 8 at worlds took 90 minutes... I'd say it's not very viable online where everything is slower. |

| Greater Good always had a hard time with cranial extraction naming yosei, do you transform to gifts splice in matches where they have cranial to bring in for game two? |

| hmmmm... yeah well the commentary did say something about that. somethin like frank karsten will transform his deck depending on what his singaporean opponent will cranial for the previous game or somethin like that. |

Then you have Kokusho, and it doesnt go stright to the "gifts" past game 2 it only does dependent on the match up |

hmmm.. well i dont think this deck would be long to play. frank karsten managed to finish the swiss rounds anyway. i think during the top 8 he deliberately played slowly because theres much more at stake. but it does gives you a load of headaches really. all gifts deck do that. its rather complicated to play.  |

| Why doesn't the deck run Footsteps of the Goryo? It lets you gift out another reanimation. |
