I think the Peaslee/Horror/Hill deck sounds very intriguing and very clever, but it wouldn't suit my tastes. That's just me, and I know not everyone would agree with me. I just think I'd play it a few times, and then I wouldn't want to play it anymore because the mechanic seems kind of repetitive and annoying. I'd be bored, and my opponent would be annoyed. Doesn't really make for a good gaming time, IMO.
I think it's less repetitive and annoying that any number of standards, like, say, Khopesh of the Abyss. But to each his own.
I know that when I built a characterless mill deck, I quickly retired it after winning a couple of games with it. It was basically a stunt, to see if it could work, but not so much fun for me to play. (There's a recreational reason to build decks around characters.)
Your second paragraph is the same point I was trying to make. Some people might like to play a characterless mill deck, but for you (and me too), it's not really that fun. "Stunt" is a good word for it. I agree that Khopesh has the potential to be the same way.
Like you said, everybody has different tastes, and that's what creates an exciting and dynamic gaming environment because there's so much variety to how people choose to play the game. I probably have some decks that you'd hate playing, but that I really enjoy. Just so long as you have fun playing your own decks, that's all that matters.
