The good news is no-one should be playing Owling mine with astonishing decks like Ghost Dad and Gruul beats, let alone zoo and white weenie glare variantsÂ… but when you do face it, you've got a chance if you draw several shoals and several white cards to discard to them.
Just remember aggressive mulliganing is the key to winning the game; you want to start the game with 5 or less cards in hand, unless you draw multiple Shining Shoals and no bounce lands in your opening hand.

Once 9-year-old orphan Oliver Twist (Mark Lester) falls in with such underworld types as pickpocket Fagin (Ron Moody) and murderous thief Bill Sykes (Oliver Reed), it becomes necessary to inject more and more dialogue, and the film loses some of its momentum.
But not to worry: despite such brutal moments as Sikes' murder of Nancy (Shani Wallis), the film gets back on the right musical track, thanks in great part to Onna White's exuberant choreography and the faultless performances by Moody and by Jack Wild as the Artful Dodger.
