Many cards have Shift or abilities that rely on certain types and numbers of characters being in play (we're looking at you, Seven Dwarfs)
Depending on the action, the threat alone might keep your character safe while you build up the ink you need for Restoring The Crown
The emphasis on Equipment doesn't leave much room for creatures, so you'll often have a single creature against the world
What irks me a bit about this deck is that it's missing a couple of truly essential cards: Snow White, Unexpected Houseguest to make the Dwarfs cheaper, and Nick Wilde, Wily Fox to get your items back from your banished pile
From the cool, purple coloring to counter the vibrant gold, to Hades status as a dastardly villain, the only thing that these two cards seem to have in common besides their 3/4 strength/will power numbers is the fact that both cards oddly enough have something to do with making a deal
