Azindel 15-5 to Throne Masters

Hello again, this month this Xenan Deck got me to masters in Throne.

The goal is to get 5-8 Power asap to play the big threats of this deck. After some days of trying this setup got me the sweet 15-5 run in the last 20 games!

How to get Power:
We got Xenan Blueprints, which gives a nice relic as well, Devotee of the Sands (shift it!), Exploit to destroy the enemies hand and Call for Aid which also draws an additional card.

You can get away with only two power cards in your starting hand if you got 2 of these cards to ramp up to 5 Power by T3.

Whats the main goal?
Everyone who played Azindel, Mastermind can confirm how nice it is to play a Azindel, Revealed and an additional 8 Cost card from the enemy players deck by T4 or T5. And to be fair it happens more often then you might think! But a deck which only got this goal to win wouldn't get to Throne Masters.

We got a lot of removals against our sweet Azindel, Mastermind and any spell reveals him, which means its only a 4,4 with lifesteal after that. So make sure to remove any of these threats with Exploit or Sinister Rumors and maybe play a Devotee of the Sands without shift to trigger a removal if you got enough power.

Vara, Vengeance-Seeker and Moldermuck are nice as well cause they trigger a lot of removal as well and can also help against aggro decks!

We want to build up our power to be able to play The Speaking Circle and Azindel, Revealed by our own without the help of Azindel, Mastermind. Also don't forget the cards in the market which can win some games on their own as well!

Removals
I only used Banish, Express Route and Vara's Authority because Exploit removes big threats as well and most of the time I was able to build up a full board with large bodies faster then any enemy could make me want more removals.

The market
The two cards I've used most of the time are The Last Carnosaur and Fall to Ruin.

The Last Carnosaur is a great card to get in your deck by T3/T4 with Wasteland Broker. It got the same cost as Azindel, Mastermind which sometimes triggers Spells with 4 damage to go to waste and it turns your Vara, Vengeance-Seeker, Moldermuck, Kerendon Merchant and Helici from Azindel, Revealed into removals on their own. It also got a big body for a 5 cost card.

Fall to Ruin is self-explanatory, in our Power Curve you can play it early and turn around a game which seemed to be lost. If I got a great hand I sometimes even got it in the deck with Wasteland Broker for security and in the lategame it is a winner on it's own by only killing the enemies units.

Waystone Core isn't that nessecary but can also help sometimes to get the power needed for the big guys.

Krull, Xumuc Occultist is nice to have, to play a 3-5 cost card from your void if you got 6-8 power but wasn't that important as you got Sinister Rumors for that as well. (But playing an Azindel, Mastermind from the void is pretty nice ;) ) You can also add Ebon Dune Smuggler and play a Azindel, Mastermind at the end of the enemies turn to trigger the effect instantly, but I decided to use Kerendon Merchant for blocking and becoming a deadly killer.

D'Angolo Might can be swapped for any other card. I thought it would help to draw cards but in the end haven't used it once, cause Scheme and Call for Aid did a great job in drawing the cards.

I hope you have some fun with this decklist and am happy to read your feedback and experiences!

Good luck and see you in Throne ;)
