Welcome back to Top Deck Time. This week we took an untuned brew from Tenodera and tinkered with it. Tenodera wanted to make an Elysian plus shadow deck featuring Copper Conduits and the Last Word. After multiple changes (and no promises on keeping the Last Word), the end results were quite surprising. The final product was extremely competitive against the top ladder decks and took reec0 to rank 10 at one point!
