So this deck does have Howling Peaks but it is NOT a peaks deck. It’s more a Post deck than it is a peaks deck. Dawnwalker is S O L I D. He has so many nice tools here. I would like to find room for xenan initiation in the market. But, this deck has a lot of layers, so let’s dig in to this meaty lasagna!
1.) Why post?
Because it can be an extra body, it ADDS bodies to fuel dawnwalker. It also thins your deck so you just get the juicy steak and not those nasty vegetables. (But we still like vegetables, just not TOO many. Ya know?)
2.) Dood, what’s up with the Darya?
Darya can give your Dawnwalker some spice. No one likes a bland Dawnwalker. We’re chefs after all, not employees at Burger King. (But those whoppers are fire. But that ain’t us.) It also can give Xo deadly which, I mean, is hilarious. Ping a unit for 1 is lethal, that’s hot. It’s unlikely to happen, but the option is there.
3.) See step 4!
4.) What is our sick strat?
So we really want to see a post in the open but no post is cool too. We’re technically Praxis Midrange (if praxis midrange bought a potato salad for the BBQ and claimed they made it. Yeah right, you lyin’) so if we don’t open post we swap game plans to drop threats on curve and say “I’ll be your huckleberry”. Oh, our curve is T I G H T. Like, Bugatti tight. Crest are sweet and all but post is really good at acting as a pseudo crest, giving us the option to scout dead cards away.
5.) End Game?
None other than the Chi Man himself! He’s got himself a nice upgrade and you bet we’ll be taking advantage of that. Another alternative play is peaks to gun down some threats and get in for the finisher. This deck is still missing some ingredients, but I’ve laid this dish down for you to season to taste. Good Luck everyone, and happy cooking!
