you generate nora with minos and stall the board, than you either win with numbers or with pull into a pickoff that snowballs you off If your opponent plays poorly you can pull into echoes. First is getting nerfed so no more death pacts and life transfer, that is actually a big deal I'm not sure if the bg will be viable any more. Spider is for fun and cocoon on shadowrake since he has stall anyway, also he helps with echoes. Assassin is for fun and desperation tactics, rather potent vs FS since they rely on spot removal and dont have too much splashed detection.
