Information

I had a longer write-up, but then lost it so... suffice it to say:

Inspired by a mix of a recent deck by FlippyFlop: https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/15mW4U3hNEg/even-deadly-pings
and an older deck of my own: https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/ENutAzrv4HU/death-by-pings-2-0

So far this deck is more consistent on ladder than my previous one - I can't speak for FlippyFlop's deck's winrate as I only have 2 Sanctums and haven't played enough with his to tell.

The basic combo is to either have Vara's Sanctum with no units and then play a ping-producing units, such as Black-Sky Harbinger, to kill enemy units, or to have Kyrex Coach Driver in play to draw, either from the deck or the void, ping-producing cards to give them deadly so they can kill enemy units.

Surprisingly, this has been working for often for me than not, what with 6 ways to combo off. This has even been effective against control decks thanks to Vicious Highwayman who becomes very scary with Vara's Sanctum in play.

Consistency comes from the golems instead of from merchants, but that's fine - as so many decks of discovered, it does work.

So far, Umbren Voidbringer is the weakest card, only because against control decks you often are hard-pressed to activate Onslaught, so I could see replacing him with either Haunting Scream, titular baby Vara, or even Honor of Claws, but in many games he does carry his weight, so, nothing changed yet.

Hope you have lots of fun!

Edit - Had to cut the now 5 cost Vicious Highwayman :( Sad days indeed. Had to replace it with the similar but different Alpine Tracker - better sometimes (when solo and deadly), but I'd say mostly worse as you can't play it on a large board if deadly. We'll see how it goes. Also added a couple crest of Fury to account for the added primal influence.
