I have only changed one thing from this list and decided to play without Wasteland Broker and Market. This is because your Market cards are mainly reactive ones and I did not wish to have any of those as a 4x in the first 20 cards! :)
I have added a 3rd Varret to the list and included 3x Disrupt in order to have some sort of "removal" in the deck.
Thank you for sharing your list!
Don't forget that Broker can always be a 4/4 for 4/3/2cc - Sometimes it's better not to fetch anything from the market anyway. Each card that was there was geared specifically around the most common decks I was facing, but the deck will function great without a market as well, like you've found out already.
I like your edits depending on the decks you were playing against while climbing the ladder, but you may start running into some matchups where you want some more flexibility.
I tried to make a fractionalistic myself but didn't realize Cast Iron Furnace existed!
Tell me about Grand Suppressor because I just got the achievement for suppressing my own summon abilities lol ... have you found it worthwhile? Actually, never mind, I just edited this comment after seeing your previous version of this deck comments on this card.
I've been using Momentum Builder, which gets its boost from Mask Maker, Worldshaper's Staff (which I think is a tricky but great add to this deck) or the two Rage cards I had to put in because I don't have enough of your legendaries.
Another suggestion I would make is Wasteland Broker, because of the deck-specific counters, and I'd rather have four Speaking Circles in the top 20 cards of my deck than the top 65.
So fun getting a 7/7 Prism Golem on turn two, or two 5/5 flyers and 7/7 golem by turn three with all those discard decks.
Grand Suppressor is there for specific matchups that I was facing often in the top 20 area of Throne Ladder, which the deck would otherwise have a lot of trouble against. Examples are reanimator and Throne Room decks. Suppressor is very good against our deck, so you need to take care on how you play with the card. You can plunder it away or delay playing it until you have established your own plays first.
I tried Momentum builder in very early versions of the deck, but it just wasn't as good as other options. At the time, even using the vanilla 4/4 for 4cc Veteran was a better play, because it was immediately impactful to the game, without needing another card to get it active. It also felt bad to spend time/resources on momentum builder, only to have it die to removal. At least with the vanilla 4/4s it is a 1 for 1 trade, and the immediate pressure keeps the opponent on a back foot.
I agree that it is very fun to play these big creatures very quickly. It's the best part of the deck. Without that, I don't think the deck would be very good. This version tries to make that part of the deck as consistent as possible, and trades off most of the late game in favor of those early plays.
