heroes for marrow!

Information

Marrow Cutter is the type of card i absolutely love -- extremely powerful with a simple build-around design.
i went with argenport because justice has the best heroes on curve and there are a couple solid argenport heroes.

some synergies and card notes:
- Zadia, Fearsome Outcast is super versatile and helps us control the battlefield. she can stop a big attacker that has you on a clock or you can slam her on the backswing for Cowardice (the ai often leave only one unit to block) and swing to victory with our marrow cutting heroes
- warcry from marrow cutter and Tarra, Ever Loyal is disgustingly good into Steelfang Glaives (we also only run 3 copies of Tarra because the unit she pairs with rarely dies so she's mostly good for being a hero that gives something warcry 2)
- Exploit is a great proactive card that picks apart the ai's hand while fixing our power (this could also be something like Slay, Monarch Cloak, Vanquish, etc.)
- Lystia, Flighty Mistral seems sort of anti-synergistic with marrow cutter as she's at her best as a solo unit but having the hero tag, being a 3 attack flyer, and having a great summon ability more than justifies her inclusion (could also swap her for something like Ageless Knight, Eris Beastbane, Vara, Vengeance-Seeker, etc. however, i have played with all the aforementioned cards and found Lystia to be the best)
- Save the Day is CRAZY strong and can turn a guaranteed loss into an immediate victory (i only run 3 copies because at 4 i'd draw too many and they'd sit in my hand doing nothing while generally one of these will win you the game)

EDIT: Battlemaster Kitaxius should undoubtedly be in this deck but i don't have her so forgot to mention it. i'd most likely cut 3x tarra + 1x lystia to make room.

power:
these can be changed to whatever feels best to you but after a few dozen matches of experimentation this is the setup that's been most consistent for me. we pull a lot of justic sigils out of our deck between Justice Etchings, Hojan, Crownbreaker, and Lystia, Flighty Mistral and 7 has felt like the perfect amount. any less and we run out of sigils making etchings awkward and sometimes unusable as a top deck, any more and we don't hit our 2 shadow influence requirement consistently enough.

market:
- Sparring Session is our flex slot and a pet card of mine. it's fun and can be really strong but is an easy swap for anything else you want
- Manacles and Pristine Light are staple justice market removal spells that largely feel irreplaceable
- Reinforced Reaper is wildly versatile and powerful. it can be a Quinn trigger that adds 6 attack to the board or it can remove the attack of a deadly unit while killing another threat... it kinda does everything.
- Commander Ironthorn is a big beefy hero and our only source of silence (we can't run Valkyrie Enforcer in the main because he's not a hero and i think he's too weak as a one-of in the market). our units are quite resilient between endurance, flying, and high health so you'll sometimes find yourself in board stalls that require a mass silence to break

Thanks for the deck. I've replaced Training Session with Poacher's Menagerie, as an amazing way to out grind the opponent when we run out of gas.
jellydoor Eternal Version: 24.10.02
great suggestion, i'll test this out! i've been pulling sparring session less and less the more i play the deck so i'm all for swapping it out
241ackerman Edited Eternal Version: 24.10.02
Deck looks awesome, have you considered Kira to combo with Helena?


Edit: how did kitaxius not make this list?
jellydoor Eternal Version: 24.10.02
hey ackerman!
i did try kira but she felt pretty lackluster without finest hour and steyer's eyes.
and kitaxius absolutely should be in the list but i don't have her lol i'll edit her in, probably cut tarra and 1x lystia for her
241ackerman Eternal Version: 24.10.02
Yeah it’s always questionable when you have to craft a corner case mythic for a deck, I understand not adding her just cuz it could put people off the list.
