Information

There are lots of units here that threaten to draw a card with one buff from Veena's Masterpiece. For instance, turn 2 Tinker Overseer followed by turn 3 Masterpiece + buff, and you're swinging for four in the air and drawing a card. Teacher and Cuno are also able to get great early pressure.

Our aim is to keep pushing damage aggressively, then we often finish with burn from jars and jars of honey we have sitting around.

Think of Veena, Rising Queen in terms of a five-drop. It could be right to play her sooner, but play + activate on the same turn generates a lot of value. She does double the +1 proc from Masterpiece. And it's named after her, so props to Direwolf for theming. Keep in mind her text, she only doubles the first activation each turn, not all of them, though each Veena will make its own copy of a relic effect if you have multiples in play.

"@Rainhall, why didn't you include [InsertVery Good Card]?" Because it's double fire or double justice, and our power base isn't built for that.

How do you feel about Liquid Flame with the nerf that went through today?
legendaryflames Eternal Version: 24.04.24
I definitely feel with the nerf the power base needs to be adjusted
Rainhall Eternal Version: 24.04.24
You're almost certainly correct. I haven't played it yet to see where that leaves us, but needing double fire at 3 is a thorn in the side of this deck. On the plus side, the influence mix has felt REALLY good, so maybe we have some wiggle room to accommodate more fire.

"@Rainhall, why didn't you include Wasp?" It's not double fire or double justice. ;)

Just kidding about Wasp, but another card you may want to consider is Queenguard Elite. Flying, charge, and only needs 1 pump from Veena to draw a card.
Rainhall Eternal Version: 24.04.24
Yeah, I've seen Elite do work against me, it's reasonably popular right now. Might be worth playing a couple in Beetender and/or Liquid Flame spots. I tend to go hard on theme when I first build a deck, so that's how Beetender made the initial cut.
