Haha, I remember chatting with Loki (either before or after our game, I forget) and he basically said Zi Mei fronts this deck for that little bit of extra oomph behind the attacks, because if you do the Flayer-Launcher-Breaker combo and they block any 1 piece, it'll fall just short of the 20 damage needed to kill basically anyone. But when you've got 22 life, a built-in redux ability, and a giant pile of counter-control and reduction, then things get a little tough :]

the deck also had trouble drawing attacks, falling into the fatal Shoulder Rush error of "I have these 2 really awesome attacks in hand, and all I need is ONE attack to be in my card-pool to hit you with them." and then either not drawing them or worse, getting them BRT'd out of the way.
