Information

Deck built around Align the Tesseract (Tesseract Prime), and mainly effects concerning grenadins and spell damages.
It's a strong deck (I think you can reach gold / diamond easily, but can't prove it), even if this is mainly built to be a fun themed deck. If you don't have cards from some campaigns, check the sideboard to replace them. ^^

How to play it


Get 3 grenadins quickly, manage enemy cards by spell damages,
then play Align the Tesseract, then spam spell damages.

Some nice tips:


Nice beginning hand are when you have cards to spawn the 3 grenadins.
It's not mandatory to have Align the Tesseract or Realign the Stars at beginning, but it's a nice bonus.

About powers, the deck only asks to have as influences: 1 red, 2 blue, 2 purple. An extra red influence is useful only to decimate Menace Chant.
Get them according to your beginning hand, and other influences come easily with 1-2 power you will draw.

Condemn is, in my opinion, the strongest card of the deck, due to useful cards that suggests the market (according to the game progression).
Keep Condemn if you have no other way to counter the enemy, and as the last spell damage when you have Tesseract Prime.

Lethrai Soothsayer: Proc Onslaught effect sooner as you can, and only for this.
Because Premonition Bolt (with Warp keyword) permits to manage your enemy board, and will become anyway an (almost) win condition with Tesseract Prime.
Don't forget to play Premonition Bolt from the top of your deck BEFORE drawing cards... Otherwise, you loose 1 card in drawing!

Cyber Combustion can only hit Lethrai Soothsayer on your own board.
Watch out if the spell is boosted (or sacrifice Lethrai Soothsayer to launch Cyber Combustion).

Display of Menace is mainly useful to get cards we want to, while we don't have Tesseract Prime on our board.
Don't forget that your opposite player is also an enemy: she/he can be hitted by damage choice, procing Tesseract Prime even if there is no ennemy unit.

Downdark Scrounger becomes a drawer in mid-game: while the 3-4 grenadins condition is expected for Align the Tesseract, use its summon effect.

If you sacrifice Sparking Vermin to play Align the Tesseract, the played Snipe is goodly impacted by sumonned Tesseract Prime.
It means that Snipe has Decay + you draw 2 cards for each Sparking Vermin you sacrifice for Align the Tesseract. Try to keep Sparking Vermin on board only for that!

Razorblades can be get by Realign the Stars, if a strong ennemy unit is in front of you.
Otherwise, play it preferably boosted by amplify effect, or by attacking with Downdark Scrounger.

This deck is a ton of fun. I just have a couple of questions. Why use Diplomatic Seal vs. something like Midnight Reprieve or Xultan Conclave? Also, have you tested it with more cards that allow market access? I guess it'd be a little tricky to squeeze in another card that allows you to pull stuff from the market, but I've had several games where just one more counter spell (board wipes almost always end the game for me) or Bore would've saved me the game.

Anyways, thanks for posting the deck. It's a blast to play.

No Furious Accusation?

I didn't try this card for this deck, having something really efficient (and enough for me).
However, Furious Accusation is a good idea! I add it to the sideboard.
