This is a big hitter deck with lots of control denial. Between the Things, Queens, Ice Courtiers, and Brain Fires, nobody should be able steal your characters. And if they do, you just whip out the Abysmal Deceiver or Shifting Loyalties to take care of that. The latter also reduces the threat from Pledged speed decks.

Both factions are heavy in Magic, so the Shattering Fires should get pretty big and the Pocket Demons shouldn't have any problem finding resources. The feng shui sites are well thought out with one of my personal favorites, the Fortress of Shadow, making a strong appearance. The other sites are a nice solid engine for cranking out extra power. The Proving Grounds work well because there are a lot of characters. The lack of power generation from the Proving Grounds is made up for with the Pocket Demons, and is an advantage in making the Monkey Houses more consistent. And the Whirlpools do what they do best.
