Welcome to the weekly edition of my "Daily Grind" series of blogs. Strength Steal Deception has always been a hard matchup with any of the Nature decks that I have tried to play. Winning against Strength Steal Deception especially if it is a hard-earned win. I thought I was going to lose this match because he effectively used his Cutthroat Insight, A Toast to Peace, and Witherfingers.

I am still using my Food Chain Nature deck on this daily play and earn which made me win five out of ten matches.

In this featured match against Strength Steal Deception, I am very wary of my opponent's Cutthroat Insight, A Toast to Peace, and Witherfingers. Luckily I was able to survive the delay until I was able to complete my combo cards.
