I have another version of this that uses the life gain of
Wall of Shards and
Tree of Perdition with
Tainted Remedy. I've found that while the 13 is nice, it rarely actually does any damage due to the lack of evasion.
Wall of Shards and
Wall of Denial have been way, way more consistent beats.
My problem with Huatli is that you still need
High Alert or Arcades to actually *do* anything. I think I'd rather have
Sheltering Word.
This brew is specifically *without* black, but I haven't actually tested
Tree of Redemption yet. It may work - it serves as a small
release valve for aggro, but at 3G I'm not sure it's fast enough to really matter in that case. Will require some thought
