I play Gauntlet exclusively and keep stats on every deck I make tiering them by their ability to get to the boss and ability to beat the boss (full clear). Lots of my deck have 95% in both, but only 5 out of 100s of my decks have never lost in over 15+ full clears in gauntlet, and here is one of them! It's not that hard to make an OP gauntlet deck, the challenge is making them fun.
Overview
This deck was made for one of my favorite cards
Xo, Conquerer of Stonescar with one of the most fun combos in the game. Most games you will be looking to get an
Xo, Conquerer of Stonescar with overwhelm and full clear/kill the opponent. Once xo has overwhelm, you just keep repeating it's ability on all units with under 5 health. Our sources of overwhelm are
Syl's Stronghold, and our market cards.
The gauntlet AI values
Spiritweaver,
Smokedancer and
Oni Dragonsmith very high which is good for us. You almost never want to play
Oni Dragonsmith without triggering it's ally ability.
Mulligan
Looking for
Teething Whelp,
Smokedancer,
Oni Dragonsmith,
Spiritweaver
Market
Ossuar Longbow and
Repurposed Wares for overwhelm on
Xo, Conquerer of Stonescar.
Draconic Ire you play with the bargain obviously
Influence
2 of each can play everything besides
Xo of the Endless Hoard
then 1 more red for
Xo of the Endless Hoard
then 1 more purple for
Stonescar Cylix
Alternatives
All other potential cards I thought of that fit the theme of the deck for either market or maindeck are in the Sideboard

I find Cozin Darkheart very good in this deck, as she blocks very well, survives Saloon Massacre, gives you card advantage and can play a dragon, if you're lucky (but it happens regularly).
So far only loss has been to AI “god” draws- (sentinel deck, consecutive large bonded titans with relic boosts)
I'm 5 run wins and no losses so far. I've added a full set of Champion of Chaos to the main deck, 2 banners instead of sigils to assure the influence, and a Gemblazer Cannon (that one is probably wrong). I've cut two Voprex's Choice to accomodate changes and put Raniya in market.
