I got back using 2 hunting traps, but I didn't even remember that for deception, death is mostly anubians now, so they don't use any removals, they have the vile reapers for that.
In any case, if goes trough people will need to get some of those removals, but just thinking, cadence and helian elite on the same turn with your biggest creature gone, that will be hard to deal with, no matter the situation (apart from magic, it can just transform both in rats 😄 (need to buy that pallas)
