The deck works best on it's card drawig advantage ie.. when wining duels use Chandra's reaction or the Libraries to lok for somthing good. The Bonepicker works well with Marishka but it's not very solid so don't rely on it to much, however sometimes you get lucky and ditch somone's Champion and that is quite a drag. The poisons are what give you your edge so make sure to kill any Bonepickers in play ASAP or you will lose them quickly. Last never raid or attack with this deck unless it's a clear shot with no resistance.

Eyla is the key to this deck! Eyla, Eyla, Eyla. Put a flying carpet and the Khadja on one, you are set for water. Heavy cavalry on other and attack alone. Get Heroes out fast, even if small, and use the Al-Balah's to slap down some giant followers. Sweetwaters suck up water, but its made up for by the Taryas and the small wells (no water cost for Ashalan). Plus the speed it brings is worth the water. Bonepickers are better than people give them credit for. You don't want a Senpet recycling his attack at dawns or a Qabal his nasty little curses. If nothing else, there are plenty of followers to put on them. Miralis has more uses than at first appears as well. He is pretty cheap, and you can get him out quick and slap a follower on him. But his raid-defense is important. This means that if someone has to raid you, they must do so with someone of 2S or higher, assuming you hadn't pumped him up any. This won't stop people from raiding you, but its one less 2S+ hero to defend with when you attack at night ;). The one problem I see with this deck is the low Ka. Refuse the knife fights. Don't bother raiding, a Bad Dates will kill many of the heroes. Avoid Contest of Wills if at all possible. Point: You do NOT want to be dueling. Seeing as how all your heroes should have buff followers, one lost guy means a lost follower, which is where the strength of this deck comes from. The moonless night is for that unlikely but potentially devastating Qolat Assassin/Master. I constantly switch it with We Have One Chance, and still have yet to decide on one.
Heroes
Tarya x3 - She's cheap and she reduces water costs.
Mirali x3 - Again very inexpensive and a good raid defense.
R'adijr, the Thunderfoot x3 - The main focus of the deck. Get him out
early!
Bonepicker x3 - He's cheap, he removes cards from the game, and he takes
Gullet's Follower tokens and gets big.
Gullet x3 - He produces Follower tokens (a must for Thunderfoot), and he
is not too expensive.
Holdings
Al-Balah x3 - Pays for followers, and straightens Thunderfoot for another
attack at night.
Belly Dancer x3
Blacksmith - Pumps up those low Ka Heroes cheaply.
Den of Iniquity x3
Library - Allows you to cycle through your deck quicker.
Spices x3
Wheat Fields x3 - Free copper!
Actions
Army of Ghuls x2 - The key is to destroy his Heroes!
Attack at Dawn x3 - Use your Thunderfoot to wipe him out before he engages.
Baha al-Din's Brass Lamp x3 - Get that stinking Jinn out of here! And
it's not buried!
Desert Spring x3 (Optional) - Makes those giants really affordable.
Faith x3 - Essential in every deck.
Shadow Ambush x3 - Again, keep that hand size small!
Slaves of the Senpet Temple x3 - Follower tokens! Buy at least two
or three a turn!
Sudden Strike x3 - Reduce that hand size! Can't soak damage with cards
or play annoying Battle Actions. Reduces the number of Raids also.
Followers
Desert Warriors x3 - Get that four water from Thunderfoot back!
Spy x3 - Prevents your opponent from using annoying Battle Actions or use
a card to soak up damage.
Items
The Khadja x3 - Put this on Tarya and use it to generate water after Thunderfoot
has wiped out his army. Good foucs value if you are forced into a duel.
This deck is over 55 cards, but the Library and three Faiths help out here. The number of city sections this deck uses gives you a 9 card hand size, lots of water, some protection from Jinns, and a way to buy more water.
