That Threshold list has 62 cards. Typo, or indecisive deckbuilding?

Deck Comments by under_the_hammer at Wed, 12/17/2008 - 00:51

To raise the usefulness of the deck Supplement from the start of the next article I will start adding comments to accompany each deck. Noting the main gameplan of the deck and how this particular list varies from the standard list in that genre. If anyone else has any ideas how to expand and improve the deck supplement Id love to hear from you. Thanks UTH
