This is my post-Defiance version of the Rakano deck rrbbTT, Patrick Dickmann and I built based on an earlier idea of Grimfan for the first ECQ and Tobbo took to a Top 16 finish there and then won the ETS World Championship with it. As usual you can learn everything about the deck, card choices and its evolution in my deck tech here:

The ShiftstonedEternal Power Calculator is a deck-building tool that visualizes your odds of drawing enough Influence and Power based specifically on the cards found in your deck.
Cool!
Seems like it is well positioned right now. Haven't played it much lately.
Well it is aimed at aggressive decks which are a problem for the deck and turning your smugglers into pseudo mini rizahns and following them up with actual rizahn is strong there but i can see people being occupied with trying new stuff instead of jamming scream and skycrag aggro so you won't need it as much right now but I would still keep it since if you face dedicated aggro u will need it and as u can see if u don't you are doing just fine with it sitting in ur market ;)
some slots or choices are just there to cover your bases/weak spots even if they might not be that common right now but if they show you u will win more because of it.
Thanks for the reply. I think I will try adding Jawbone Greatsword but will swap back Defiance if I come across more aggro. I'm mostly facing greedier decks at the moment.
Seems fair. Altho you'd prolly rather want plate if u cut it. that's something we had before and seems solid. not too high on greatsword but should be fine at least.

Edit: There's no better feeling than Yushkov exhausting 3 Assembly Line Grennadin and dropping a turn 5 Telut :-)
