Got tired of slamming headlong into haunted highway so I tried some anti-aggro builds. I wasn't happy with the TJS anti-aggro mask build - harsh rule was often too little too late - so I tried primal instead and have been astonished with the results. I'm 12-2 with this deck in Masters. Creatureless control might be a bad matchup but so far I've managed to stear clear.
I've seen lots of multicolored units lately so I cut down on Annihilates but the removal in this deck is mostly interchangeable. The 1-of Rindra is my trying things out, might be better to just play a 4th Dark Return or Haunted Scream.
