This deck is NOT built to win. It's built to try to get Restrained Action down followed by Knucklebones. Then it's just free credit at the candy store that is your new random cards in your deck from the Knucklebones played at the end of each of the enemy turns.
The Struggle (the name of the deck) is to actually get this combo to go off before you die. Mostly I play the deck and get elated when it pops and I sometimes get surprised when I actually win with it.
I've yet to play Versus with it and I suspect that would be nearly impossible to get the combo to go.
It's just to me like a mini-puzzle, can I get it to pop today?
