Information

You had ONE JOB, Svetya!

(In criminal law, the claim that the deceased victim “needed killing” is known as “the Texas defense.”)

Notes:
1) Torrential Downpour (or any damage-dealing spell) becomes Deadly when you have TLW equipped.

2) You do not need to kill a unit with Nametaker for Nametaker's effect to work; equipping Nametaker effectively makes all of your removal read "remove all copies." It's pretty broken.

3) Multiple copies of Severin decrease TLW's activation cost, hence the Glasshopper in the market; early iterations of this included Quicksilver Mirror. However, Severin's primary function here is the same as Call for Aid's--they're non-relic cards which produce throwaway relics.

EJBLanky Eternal Version: 1.45
I really like the concept of cheating Last Words into play this way. While Nametaker is super cool, you don't need it and it dilutes your combo, which is really about having nothing but Last Words as targets in the deck for his effect, and so 100% getting it out on activation. Doing that on 5 mana basically guarantees a one sided wrath as well, most likely. It's a good concept and worth putting more work into for sure!

So, I tried with only TLW, but there are times you actually need the stats provided by Nametaker (mostly because it can survive Nightfall / Torch, or take a hit while you search for removal.) I may be able to mitigate that with counters, armor, or similar going forward.
