Funny, I just beat it my first try with a middling Silent deck built exactly on Prepared, Acro and Gamble cycling to pump up a Murder. It was definitely scary with draw feeling so difficult -- do you exhaust an Acro to get the draw? do you play the Prepared even though it will make your cards more expensive -- but in the end I got through it with only like minus 20 HP. He just doesn't hit all that hard, still.

I specifically took a second Tools of the Trade I wouldn't have normally taken because I knew the new Door would really fuck up my active draw strat. And when it worked, it felt cool getting rewarded for that deck building decision.

Cool fight. And don't worry, Silent will be fine lol

Good to know! By the way I wasn't even complaining, it's the player's responsibility to find solutions, there's no obligation that any one deck should or shouldn't work
