I have a lot of fun playing this deck. It started out as a way to abuse Rector in 1.5, but since I had so many related cards on my list of cards to break, I decided to throw them all in one deck. Some interesting tricks:
--Waylay is actually quite good, not only at stopping an attack, but also at flashing back Screech and providing Therapy and Intent fodder, as the tokens are going to die anyway. Also, it makes for a combo-kill with Rector->Day of the Dragons.
--Day of the Dragons is really cool, since it doesn't care if the guys it removes are tokens or not. Even making two Dragons is a game-winning play; three or more is devastating.
--Nuisance Engine provides the cheapest, easiest tokens around, not only for Intent-ing and Therapy-ing, but also for a fairly fast Contamination lock, something Outpost can't do.
--Grave Pact is kind of cheesy, but it's just so useful that I had to include one. Also, with three strong Rectorable enchantments, I'm very rarely without anything to fetch (I have had a couple games where I drew my Form AND Day).
--The Duresses aren't especially synergistic with anything beyond making Therapy a more sure thing, but they're generally solid cards and do protect you from the stuff you most need protecting from.
