I like your keeper deck alot!

It's almost a cross between OSE and Keeper! Mishras Factories, and Masticore in Keeper, a good idea.

At this point in time I was about to toss my Keeper and make a Build of OSE. But your decklist is something close to what I would like to make. A more agressive keeper with Shaman, Mishras, Masticore (over moat), and Morphling. Yet still manageing to keep Sylvan, D-Blow, Balance, and Regrowth. I love it! More keeper decks should be run like this, I really like this agressive take on keeper.

RE: keeping in plow vs control

1) No-one expects it
2) I hate dwarven miners
3) No-one expects it
4) Never side out all creature control (or enchantment/artifact control either)
5) No-one expects it
6) Masticore
