Kinda like that idea, six shooter style.
I had the same gut reaction to removing Vandy all together but at least for blue vs black it wasn’t awful at all, Neko and I played it and it was a surprisingly good solve. Maybe we could have troq sub for Vandy just in spells + body, and optionally allow finesse sub in on one deck choice? I’d be take for that. Makes it almost mono but allows a little pumpkin spice for fall flavor XD
