I originally wasn't going to make a Wilson deck, but after seeing how funny Wilson + Criminal Past is (and how GOOD Criminal Past is), and trying to convince a friend to make him and getting turned down, I decided sure, I'll do it myself!

I haven't had to do deep graveyard/self-mill stuff in PDH yet, so this was fun. There were like 18 other mill cards I wanted to run, but... I had nowhere else to make cuts, and I probably didn't need 40+ self-milling cards.

As is, I really like the deck, even though the self-milling options were a little bit weaker than I expected, and I'm running fewer creatures in the deck (24) than I would've liked to (30+).

The biggest blow to my enthusiasm for this deck when I was hyped for a giant grizzly is that Criminal Past doesn't give toughness, and Wilson only has 2. Menace helps, but people can trade any 2 of their creatures for my big ol' Wilson. Yes, that's a 2-for-1, but I don't want them to be able to take out my primary wincon that easily, so I've included a few cards to give Wilson protection/evasion. Maybe I should add a few "false death" cards...

Oh well! Like usual, "Let's try 'em out!". There comes a point when it's just wasting time to keep considering options, and it becomes much more valuable to playtest the deck before continuing work on it. I'm at that point for this deck now. As is, I love 'em.
