What can I say. The PlatypusKing has once again proven his royal superiority with yet another fantastic deck.
I was hanging out last night, suffering from a bit of insomnia, when this deck was brought to life. Little did I know the effect it would have on me. I poured over the decklist and it's lack of win conditions. How could I...the consummate aggro player ... ever pilot this thing.
I watched Platy play a game. 31 minutes later, it ended...several times throughout that match, my tablet came crashing into my forehead, violently jerking me out of an impromptu dozing. There was power in the deck. I continued watching, in amazement. My issues with insomnia were overcome.
The last thing I remember is Platy playing a land and a Stronghold's Visage. I woke 14.5 hours later...my tablet drained of power, a puddle of spittle on my pillow where my mouth was agape, and my poor dog in DIRE need of a potty break. I managed to crawl from my bed and let the dog out, but my mind did not clear for another two hours. I'm finally fully awake, and yet, just reading over the list, I'm starting to feel drowsy again.
Cons: You may fall asleep playing, or watching this deck. Prolonged exposure could quite possible lead to coma, or even death.
Pros: It does win. Sure, at the pace of a sloth having intercourse. But it does. Not sure if it's a climber. I mean, you'll get like three games in over the course of two hours. But, if you are, say, rocking a 24-hour gaming session, and want to climb from Gold II to Gold I, it'll be close, but this deck could get you there in somewhere between 23.5 - 24.75 hours.
If you want to win more consistently then Dichro's Ruin should absolutely be in the deck. I have the Stronghold's Visage / Valkyrie Station combination in here to help facilitate Experimental Forcefield stay alive more often. I'm trying to kill the opponent by them drawing out their deck and feeling absolutely miserable and hopeless in the process.
I've updated the decklist since you commented. I like this config a lot better. Check it out!

I wonder if Dichro's Ruin, Meditative Trance, or Arcane Restraint are better than stronghold visage for this deck. They fill a similar role but are cheaper.
