Hm, how about Creepshow Casino? Could a couple of those Effective
Managements be Info Highways? 1-2x Con Boon for shits and giggles?
Might want some form of vote defense. Poison Pill? Maybe a couple
Stealth Ritus just in case? If things work out well, you might want
some Blood Dolls/Tributes to return extra blood to your pool.

Interesting deck!

I heavily suspect that AUS-FOR or AUS-(prevent) will shred this deck.

I think that Rutor is best used when you can perform more than one
action per minion, rather than 1 action and stay untapped...
Also burst combat is better suited for wall deck coupled with
Rötschreck.
And btw mini-wall with a single Guardian Angel kills you instantly.
You can't pass your bleeds, you can't kill him with bursts or bow.

That's just my 2 cents.

How does a Single Guardian angel stop 2-3 agg?

Shouldn't we all be throwing the Secret Devil Sign right about now?

If you don't what you do is draw an invisible M, then t, then G in the
air.

(In addition to what Jeff posted, Ronnie James Dio is attributed with
inventing the heavy metal "devil horns", or secret devil sign, hand
signal. Ya know, where you make a fist and stick up your index finger
and pinky and shake it at the band while singing "Breaking the Law!
Breaking the Law!"...)

Hey, man, *I'm* not claiming he invented that. It's just, ya know, how
it is attributed. I mean, yeah, it is kind of like being attributed
with the invention of, like, waving good bye, but it makes the
original joke work better...

I believe that in Italy, it is the sign of the devil. Since
Dio is probably Italian (surname Padavona), that may be
where he got it.

But either way - Since this thread started, "Oh Holy Diver"
has been going through my head.

Need to sub in Judas Priest (or just about any other hair
band), as Peter recommends...

Uhhh... Judas Priest is so not a hair band that I'm assuming you are
confused and meant something else? Ratt? Motley Crue?

Poison!!!! Everybody needs some trashy trashy 80s hair metal.
Nothing like ripped acid-wash shorts with leopard print vests and hair
half-way to my ass... possibly teased.

For those also wanting a fright... check out Stryper

I see a lot of hair:

(some of it now receding, like all of ours...)

Ah, I see now I misused the idiom. Ok, metal band. Sheesh.
