With PTCGO, you can log into ranked games and get paired with someone at around your level (MOST of the time once youve won enough games)
Its first ability is a land catch-up that relies on using Deserts - not a terribly popular subtype, in general
The issue was that the tools just weren't really there, which forced the deck down the Shambling Ghast/Deadly Dispute path
Even with Skulk, you opponent would have to NOT control any 2/2s or 1/1s
