This deck definitely deserves the name "classic." I'm currently running it against Silver mostly unupped and I just finished 48 games with an even 3:1 win/loss ratio. Only one of the losses was a blowout.
So don't hold back from trying this deck if you don't have it fully upped! Use whatever you've got and go make some money!
(Ups: Crusader, Elite Queen, Lava Destroyer, the 2 Hourglasses, and 4 Supernovas (just running plain Novas for the other 2). It'd be smarter to have QTs upped, of course -- but I don't have a lot of ups, this is just what I had lying around.)
