Thinking about making it part of my new system.
Basically 2/1 with baby NT, Keri Stayman and some other stuff.
Thx Richard, figured you would know it ;)

Nope, rough diamond is with exactly a 4 card M, Frelling two's can contain 5+M. So it's clearly a Frelling ;)

Am I the only one who finds the name amusing because I'm also a "Farscape" fan?

Well, you're one of the only ones who knows the reference...
I chose the name based on

1. The openings are somewhat similar to "Smeg Twos"
2. I miss Farscape terribly
