Eredan's World

As the title stated, I'd like to build a courtesan deck.
However,  before i dive into a 100k spending on 3 manipulation(:P), i'd wish to know how well does Courtesan decks fair in ELO?

Also ,due to not having an enormous amount of crystals to spare on [card]Councilor Ishaia[/card] ,is it possible to build a decent ELO courts deck without her ?

Thx in advance for all future help provided by fellow Eredan players ^^

To all witchblade / dragon knight users out there, which deck do you guys find to be more competitive and ,basically better ?

I know no deck is perfectly better than the other ,but surely there would be some place where DK shines and others where witchblades rocks ? xD

you've seen deck with other legendaries in them, foam giant, ishaia etc , but how about Lady Yilith ? Is there a deck that utilize her ,with her being the only ice elf in game?

I'm assuming a lot of others would be thinking the same way as me, as currently (IMO) Artaban is seriously underpowered.

A printed low attack of 5 wouldn't matter much to decks like kotoba or DK .and the only time i see it worth the ability is when he is facing zil (not that much actually) or desert nomads.

From how i see it, i can see quite a number of ways to improve him without making him OP,like:

-a printed low attack of 6 wouldn't have been so bad

or maybe

-give it the ability to trigger his effect AND has his normal attack

or even

-take out the "PRINTED" wording,so he deals damage to his lower attack and maybe give it a penalty like -1 attack if this ability triggers

Maybe it's just me, but i find that for the effort done to get him,he is a bit weak. I know the designers must keep it from being overly OP cuz not all players can obtain him, but don't you guys think he's a bit overly nerfed ? =/
