For max efficiency?  Yes.

Increases the chance of getting one early. It's built for speed.
My 3 game-modification principles:
1. If it ain't broke, don't wreck it.
2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

Curious, is this deck still viable over 2 years later?
Also, vaguely off topic, but can someone explain to me the logic behind having 2 weapons in a rush deck? I'm sure "draw efficiency" is the response, but..what if you draw both? Then you have a dead card. In this case, couldn't you swap one long sword out for... anything else?

Most likely yes. If unupped mono life does very good against AI3, a fully upped much faster one will most likely as well. 2 weapons is draw efficiency. If you do draw 2, you will have a dead card, but in most cases having 2 in the deck allows you the earlier chance of playing it, which makes it slightly faster than just having one. (Someone can probably do tests with 1 sword and 2 swords and compare the two).

As a learning experience, I will gladly run a test against AI3 comparing the original deck against a modification with -1 longsword and +1 of whatever is suggested. Epi, maybe?..

Long Sword is so much more efficient than anything else that it's worth playing two to get it more often.

The deck is still as viable as ever if you feel like playing it, the only "problem" is that arena lets you rack up your score incredibly fast, so in comparison this isn't very effective anymore. On the other hand, if you feel ever like farming rare spins, you can recycle most of the cards in this deck for a bronze farmer.
