A Big Bruiser build around deck with loads of good stuff and ways to recycle and counter against mostly any problem deck you may be encountering. Anti-zap and Brawl can't go wrong and then hope you draw into the Edge hate in case an engine with loads of Edges is threatening you. Modern has a narrower scope so this deck brings the heat to the more limited possibilities. LaGrange of course can backfire if it's the first and only FSS you draw and getting overwhelmed with weenie hordes or Stealth decks is an issue. Hope you can blitz for the win before they explode!
Some copies in Action Pack One & Reloaded have the subtitle "Resourceful Scrounger." This is the cause of the errata.
