Went 4-0 in a 12 man tourney.
1st round: planet 7 win VS Kith 2nd round: planet 3 win VS Urien 3rd round: planet 6 modified win VS Aun'Shi (ran out of time - I had 3 planets and 4 icons, he had 2 planets and 3 icons) 4th round: planet 6 win VS Ku'gath
Bloodied every warlord except Aun'Shi

Usual DE trickery + Salaine's great stats + ambush units means that you can play an aggressive control style and it doesn't make a huge difference if you get bloodied.
Adaptable deck that can respond to pretty much every situation. Could be vulnerable against AE but I was able to Archon's Terror or Klaivex away the big threats. Kabalite Halfborn is mostly there to be used as a deploy feint that gets blown up by AE. Wildrider Squad was handy against Kith's swarm and basically won me 3 planets in a row.
Surprise MVPs were Shadow Field, Last Breath, and Solarite. Last Breath let me shut down Warlock Destructors against Kith. Shadow Field on a Hellion Gang in the lategame was pretty clutch. Ditto Solarite at the final planet.
I took out my Warlock Destructors at the last minute for more flex appeal and Subdual let me stall the one Orbital City I saw against Aun'Shi. Probably should put them back in but I'm already at 51 cards, so meh.
Sample Hand:
Total Shields: 0
Average Shields Per Event/Attachment: 0
Total Command: 0
Average Command Per Unit: 0
how frequently did you use gut and pillage and how useful did it seem?
Think I used the bodysuit once and I'll probably drop it for another copy of Subdual. Kabalite's are so cheap and weak that it's almost not worth protecting them. Maybe if a bigger Kabalite is ever released, one with hammers even (madness!), it would be worth having 1 or 2 copies of the bodysuit. Until that day it's kind of a wasted card.
The Halfborns were fine - everyone played around them so I was usually guaranteed 1 swing. They synergized beautifully with the new Harriers card - were great for counter capping against Kith and Aun'Shi.
I used Gut and Pillage every game. Auto-include for me - kept my economy thriving while being aggressive in deploy.

did you ever employ the bodysuit?
how useful were the halfborns?
