If you have Polyhymnia that would work too, but Dionysus is more fun. In my experience, this deck definitely struggles with Zoo Light since they have tons of early game creatures and buffs. Aggro War/Nature isn't nearly as bad with Blazing Talisman equipped and since they put out one creature at a time in the early game usually. Ward really screws this deck though, I've been screwed too many times with an opponent's Oni Spellsword Warding their entire board.
