So I know this is an older post - especially with Broken Promises about to hit stores and all - but I tried this idea out last night.
Minor revision: I swapped Cute Critters out for Clobberin' Stick because I wanted Ulix to have the ability to grab a card. Pulling out three 9+ cards to summon all the time was not easy - and that saved my bacon (EDIT: pun habitual not intentional).
I was able to birth piglets in round one. It was card intensive - I had two 11's and a 12 in control hand and had to cheat each time, pretty much wiping me of good cards.
That was a big disadvantage for me because I was playing against Tara with 3 Guild Marshalls, 3 Void wretches and Killjoy.
Toward the end of round one, I'd sacrificed a pig and taken out a Death Marsh with Pigapult with three pigs ready to go. Then a reactivated Tara was on my side of the board, casually plopped our Killjoy in my pig farm and then Faces of The Void to zero action back to her deployment zone.
At the start of round two, Pigapult was great in softening up Killy. Helped McT to take him down by round 3 (I had Vendetta with McT killing Killjoy so I got all three points). But Killy wiped out Old Major and it was kind of a s#!+show from there. It was a tarpit enough for Death Marshalls to run in an pine box the crew into uselessness. I'd racked up 5 points from schemes but my opponent got all 10.
There's some good ideas in the crew build. But considering the strat was Reconnoiter - something Ulix should succeed at - it was a kick in the teeth to see him lose.
