You find manacles effective in this deck? Running 2 solitude doesn't seem enough to be worth it. Am I missing something? I assume your removal is where your getting your card count for solitude and using omen to draw solitude? Have you tried fallen oni? It's one drop guaranteed removal and chump block as well. I see your running no units so it's goes against the grain here. Either way I love manacles and have tried quite a few different ideas with it but nothing super successful.
When looking at the deck list, to me it seems like manacles is not the win con. It's more of a way to speed up the process. It gives you a chance, along with stoker, to beat on heavy card drawing removal piles. At the very least, the one damage per turn helps to clear out face aegis so you can hit face with your channels. Since none of the removal piles have any life gain, you just keep chipping away at the life total.
I do have to say that 31 power seems a little light. With only having 4 wisdoms and no strategize, I would think the deck struggles to play channel on turn 8. Granted, the crests do help with that some, but you may find yourself bottoming cards you need while seeking for that power.
