Houndoom. Is he playable?

[MrMeches]

Houndoom Blissey as mentioned earlier is nice with Castaway and Cessation Lock! You could also go with Crystal Beach for irritation but this is a more advanced styling!

GL!

Why not simply run a Houndoom deck with Cessasion and Absol?

Because the evil dradle of doom (Claydol GE) laughs at hand control.

If I run straight Houndoom: He is more efficient for a turn two deck, but I mulligan like crazy so I will need to run 4 Wager. Problem with that- Wager is unreliable. So I will need to win Wager to shut my opponent down

Wheather you win the wager or not isn't important, its the ability to deal with thier hand thats probably 9+ cards =P
