    After playing the deck some more I can see what you mean about Pit Lord. Most of the games I lose are because of bad card draws at the start. Wish I could justify crafting him and/or Illidan, but since they see so little play in other decks it's unlikely I'll get the spare dust for a long time :(.

    Really enjoying this deck. Don't have Pit Lord or Illidan so I'm running 2xInfernal. Although I'd probably run Infernal instead of Pit Lord even if I had one, it's a better Voidcaller target and the Whirlwind battlecry can be very useful if you have to play it manually. I'm not sure the 2 mana cheaper Pit Lord is worth it's downside / smaller stats?

    Another awesome combo is Power Overwhelming with Void Terror. The Void Terror keeps the 4/4 buff from the target card, without the disadvantage of dying at the end of the turn. It's basically a 1mana Blessing of Kings. Works amazingly well with Eggs (4/6, smash into something - Void Terror it for a 4/4 and a 7/9).

    (There's a typo in your opening paragraph btw, you've got Voidwalker listed instead of Voidcaller.)

    I would feel a lot safer using it if sources were posted, or at least a binary that was not obfuscated. Especially since there are plenty of open-source tools which perform the same task.

    I could be mistaken but I do believe there are not "plenty of open-source" tools which perform the same task exactly as my application. There is software that simulates key presses and mouse clicks, and maybe that is what you are relating to. The reason everything is obfuscated is I don't want someone to open reflector and get running source in a couple of seconds. If they want to copy and paste they will need to put some effort in haha. I will explain though how my program works on a code level for anyone who is interested.

    First off, thanks for coding this. It's awesome and something I've considered doing myself but never got around to.

    Having said that I've gotta agree with Pajlada that you're asking for a lot of trust from people to download an executable application that controls mouse movement and keypresses and connects to the internet to download things (decks) without seeing the source.

    If you're planning on monetizing the application then fair enough (although if I'm honest I think you'd struggle), but otherwise making it open source only offers benefits to the project. If you're doing it as a vehicle for learning then you'll learn even more as people contribute / pull request. If you're doing it purely as a tool for the community then it'll develop faster (and with more trust) as open source.
