Hooru Control - 19-4 at rank 1

Hi, this is the deck I've been using to maintain rank 1 in throne since getting there with Tely. I've played 23 games so far, and I've mostly lost to my own play/mulligan mistakes or high variance games (3x Dinosaur Nest, no removal/merchant etc). The deck feels incredible to play, since you only have to run 3x Builder's Decree to finish games, and the rest is just card draw and answers! It can be a bit difficult to pilot properly at times, but I believe the deck is genuinely very powerful once you get the hang of it.

Strange inclusions:

Discover Talents: The deck pretty much revolves around this card, it being extremely flexible and allowing us four extra copies of our finisher without taking up any space. Inscribe allows you to play this whenever you want as a depleted primal sigil, so it's essentially a part of our powerbase that can be used to refill our hand with Helio, the Skywinder or end the game using Builder's Decree. It's almost always correct to draw Helio, but if you don't have time to pass your next turn then you can tutor for an answer (like Harsh Rule) instead.

Builder's Decree: Most people play Stormhalt Plating in this spot, but I think Decree is much better. When you play it on an empty board for 9 power, you're locking out the opponents answer while simultaneously pressuring lethal. This makes it very hard to recover against Decree after you've taken control of the game, whereas a single relic answer like Bullseye can save your opponent from Plating. It also can't be tutored for with Discover Talents, and it's awkward to inscribe for justice influence with Helio in the deck.

Ice Bolt: This card is awesome in hard control. Giving your opponent extra power doesn't hurt that much when you have access to so many sweepers. If they use it to ramp into a single big threat, you can just ice bolt it again, and if they play multiple units then they'll get blown out by Harsh Rule. Be careful about ramping your opponent before you can play a sweeper though, and try to prioritize other spells first.
Also, use this on your own units to play Scourge of Frosthome first in the mirror.

Thicket Trap: I love this card, and I think it's very underrated. It's like a Snowball with inscribe that hits every unit! I'm playing it in place of Strategize, which is a lot worse now that the best fate cards were removed. It gives you a ton of safety vs aggro decks and can double as a permanent answer to Relic Weapons which can otherwise be a pain to deal with.

Dazzle: There's a lot of Equalize on ladder, so you need counterspells or face aegis to beat it consistently. It's also fine to use it as temporary removal to buy time for Helio, the Skywinder or Honor of Claws.

Re-read (1x): I like having this as a 1-of for Talents so that you can rebuy Savage Incursion from the market, or Builder's Decree in long games where you sometimes run out. It's also great in general to have access to two copies of each spell in your market, so that you can answer multiple relics or counter multiple <2 cost spells.

I know that I've posted a lot of decks recently, but I think this one is very interesting and fun to play. I love control decks and I spent a lot of time tuning this, so I hope the writeup and list are useful ^^
