Information

Just a highrolly deck I made on my own (so if I've overlooked any good card inclusions, please let me know!) that ended up getting me from silver to high gold in just a few hours. I've always been a hater of aggro decks, but I believe this one to be memey enough for me to not feel bad about stomping people with it. The reason I'm posting this list is because of how many "I like your style" emotes I got today, so I figured others could enjoy this deck with me. The gameplay is pretty simple; just make sure you aren't stacking nightfall units, obviously, unless you have a surplus or are in a dire situation.

The main work in progress part of this deck is the market (I've considered switching to a Transpose based one, but I feel like the deck loses too much tempo and board interaction this way), and I'm also not completely sold on the inclusion of Tattoo Dragon. I'm not sure if it goes off enough to justify a four of, so maybe dropping one or two to add more copies of Tidal Forces would be optimal, but it's also possible that the Tattoo Dragons don't have to do anything but force removal so the opponent has to choose between removing it and developing on turns 4-6 because it is quite threatening in this deck. Another potential inclusion is Nocturnal Observer, which was included in my original list but was quickly forgotten about when I considered how insane Tattoo Dragon could be in this deck.

I'm just looking for feedback right now, so please share if you do have any ideas for this deck! Have a great day.

Edit: I just dropped Find the Way from the market for Lightning Storm to deal with those pesky token decks more effectively. I also altered the landbase a bit for improved consistency. My philosophy for the landbase is an emphasis on yellow in order to get the two yellow influence by turn two so Teacher of Humility can do her thing as soon as possible. This is subject to change as well, so critiques are welcome.

Edit 2: Courtesy of AJLooch; turns out I did overlook a pretty nice card for this deck
-1 Jennev Cargo
-1 Equivocate

How do we configure this for the mini-event this week??? i think tota pioneer should go in, no?
Duelist Edited Eternal Version: 1.51.6
Ooh, didn't even see the mini-event this week. Seems fun. I'm not sure if this deck would be the best for it though, because it lacks lifegain and the nightfall would make us draw our bombs faster as well.. I think the best way to run it in the event would be to use a Transpose based market so you can put Groundbreaker in the market, along with other four drops like Unexpected Results, for example. All of this is based on my assumption that people will be playing lifegain decks, but if I'm wrong about this, you might be fine just trying this exact list and adapting on the go.

As for Tota Pioneer, I appreciate the suggestion but I'm not sure if gaining 2 temporary power really helps in this deck.. I'll still try it though. For my test run with the card, I'll drop a Jennev Cargo, an Equivocate, and a Tattoo Dragon for three copies of the pioneer.

Yes, I came to the exact same conclusion re: Transposemarket including Groundbreaker+ Unexpected Results.
Duelist Eternal Version: 1.51.6
Good to hear. What was the rest of the market you went with? Did you move Tidal Forces to market? I'm interested in trying a transpose market in throne.

Update: after about an hour of testing, I do like the pioneer in here and I will be changing the decklist like I mentioned.
