This deck, for whatever reason, has been insanely good with an 85% winrate from Gold to Masters. You can see it in action during my stream in the
VOD.
Is it the recruit off of
Druid of the Sands and
Patrice, Your New Home? Is it
Auralian Supplier drawing you cards? Is it
Tocas, Waystone Harvester shutting down
Kira Ascending decks? Is it
Ramba, Arena Showman making cards cheaper when it hits or playing cards when you've got nothing else happening? Is it
Kanya, Ironthorn Envoy ramping you if your opponent is off to a slow start? Or is it
Kairos, Grand Champion doing his thing?
No idea. It's all of those things, I think. Anyway, it's insane.

Updated 1/19/2024: No changes other than a change in the power base to include
Mark of the Hive.

Update 2/3/2024: The deck is unchanged. I went 51 - 8 from Gold 3 to Masters. An opponent I faced 2 or 3 times was playing
Svetya, Lightbringer which really shut down my gameplan. It was good tech against the deck. I lost to them each time. Admittedly, the climb has been much easier than in the past due to suboptimal opposing decks, 125+ card piles, and unequal pairing of opponents.
************
Update 3/7/2024: While I haven't yet reached Masters with the deck in March, life has gotten in the way and I've been playing Expedition, the deck still performs well. Perhaps not at the 85% now, but that's to be expected with new variations on the deck popping up and people teching against it. I've made two changes to the Market. Gone are
Display of Realities and
Grodov's Burden to be replaced with
Glimpse Another Age and
Passage of Eons. I've faced quite a few Xenan reanimator or other lists with void synergies. Emptying the opponent's void can kind of shut that down. It also helps to some extent against mill lists. It's not a perfect solution. Passage of Eons has been pretty good at dealing with all relics, not just those on an opponent. I'm thinking specifically of
Tormented Crown,
Rift Siphon, or
Dichro's Ruin lists. Silencing opposing units and killing
Permafrost are also up sides to this over Display. At 6-cost, it is expensive, but you're usually ramping out anyway, and getting to six isn't usually that difficult.
I swapped him for Ixtol, Champion of Grodov, and it’s so much better imo. Synergy with Patrice, Wasp, and the overall goal of ramping.
I also swapped Passage for Rapid Development. With big Ixtol or Wasp, it’s the pseudo-Craterhoof I need to finish a game instantly.
thanks for sharing
I don't have Kanya, what do you suggest to replace?
Bring back the Kairos, Grand Champion
agro> Nothing Remains, Harsh Rule, Rift Disaster. With 12 cards you will still fail at 85%.
The deck is good!
