So this is my attempt to try out some curses in the gauntlet. So far the deck has been pretty consistant. It plays a midrange/control/value game but it can have some pretty explosive moments.
The main card that got me interested in this was the
Archgryffyn Patriarch and it is working out pretty good. The reload aspect of it is really valuable and we can get a bunch of curses before T5 with our
Soothing Shortbeak and
Forbidden-Rider Outcast, along with our
Permafrost and sometimes
Avigraft .
The main reason I have 2
Avigraft in the main deck was for the
Parul's Choice but since most of the curses from this deck come from the units, it has been underperforming for me, but the
Avigraft is still doing some nice work. Maybe it should be moved to the market tho.
Our fate cards like Savoir of the Meek and
Jotun Hurler are mostly there for the aggressive matchups and the 2 of the hardest aggro bosses, and they allow us to run 6 merchants. Maybe 8 is the correct number but I am not sure what to cut in order to play them, and 6 of them have been pretty consistant for me so far.
The deck is great at stabilizing with
Kodosh Sees All and turning the tides around just by itself or with some help of the Parul,Sealkeeper from the market. I don't have more copies of him, but I think the 1 of in the market is more than enough. Even with only 2 of our low cost gryffyns in the play it can steal games pretty quickly and it has been performing great for me.
The worst card in the deck is the
Citywide Ban, and I've been using it just as a curse that will stick for our synergies and for maybe taking out some of the bigger threats, but it will be cut out, probably swapped with the Corovyat Palace, but we will see. Also a lot of these emblems are unnecessary, and they are there just to help out with the flodding, but they aren't creating problems so far.
I am really enjoying the deck, and even tho it is a bit slower, it is consistent enough for me. I will keep on making changes and refining it until I think it is perfect. But please make sure to test it out and share opinions, I would like to get some help in making the deck better. My score is 3-0 so far (3 complete runs), but I will also keep and update on that.

I am also trying the Parul's Choice again with the main deck Avigraft and less copies of Kodosh Sees All but still not sure. It's also probably not a bad idea to play Electrostatic Distortion since it can mess up AI pretty badly and also help with the armor decks. But I will see.
