Without further ado, I wrote 2 lists. The first being a wee bit more offensive with a little less magic defense the the second being a bit safer in my opinion. I'd really appreciate any feedback AND if there is interest in a tournament blog Id be more than willing to type it all up. So, here goes nothing.
Also, to anyone in the bay area (I'm looking at you Bad Beast, Dyvim and Les Miserables) you guys heading out to Dundracon this year? It's always been a nice starter up for the tournament season. Also, why hasn't QCR been updated yet? I'm dying to reserve my slot haha!
While writing these lists I was discussing the lists with my friend and I came up with the analogy that either of these lists should be fine against most opponents EXCEPT VC. That game would be a cat and mouse (with DE being the mouse) except the mouse has a .45 caliber magnum... but the kitty cat has super heavy kevlar on its body. So the mouse would have to go for the vulnerable pieces like the feet. Not sure why this had to be in there but I thought it was pretty damn funny.
So, list #1 to start.

So what does everyone think? Both lists are definitely on the higher side of the power scale but I'm looking for honestly any feedback.
Thanks for the read,
