Y'know, has anyone ever tried going semi-curve with Mark III and Mark V's? Both are Longshot-able, can cover multiple turns (2, 3, and 4 for III; 4 and 5 for V), and build up for an ever more potentially busted Bastion Abuse. If you prefer, go with Mark I's to protect you from Overload and Fantastic Fun or Hounds of Ahab to set up an even possibly nastier Lock. A couple of Hounds and Combat Protocols can take care of most turn 3 plays, and the Mark V's reinforce themselves.

longshot is an engine, and trask is a (search) tool. a deck that runs on an engine is more fun, than a deck with a search tool, you'll use once. longshot leads the sentinels, but trask is just one of them. longshot rules...
