Notes & Combos
Perion was slept on. The effect can be recycled with Phaser to give yourself an extra 500-1000 attack (being mindful not to exceed 2500) and an extra 200-400 burn damage with DM's effect. Rebels have always struggled with being just shy of lethal, so the added damage helps close games faster as surviving long enough to resolve DM twice requires luck. Kheiron gives some nice t1 damage and can boost HM but it came up less than Perion, who also pulled shenanigans like boosting Buyer to 11 or milling to get Phaser online. Both cards are important as meatshields to stall if you can't clear a board and don't have Reqiuem in hand. Clayman and Torero were considered but I felt Sparkman did an adequate job as an attacker and defender, whereas they can't do both.
