Information

This is an anti-aggro control variant of the JP list I've been brewing ever since Svetya, Orene of Kosul was released.
It's trying to drop a power every turn while also keeping out the beaters, so don't be afraid to take a few hits early (especially if you have one of the primal sweepers in-hand) to sweeten the deal when you cast it. Your life total is a resource! Maximize those Lightning Storms and Hailstorms. Copperhall Bailiff helps you survive longer. Harsh Rule is your fallback plan.

For card draw, we've actually got a TON.
All the Strategizes you could want, with full Wisdom of the Elders too. A single Privilege of Rank is not just for pulling power, but also as another "draw 2" of sorts. If you can grab it off a Svetya activation, even better. Then there's the real deal, Jotun Feast-Caller, who with his new *4* health can survive all our lower-cost sweepers! It's an awesome change that has paid huge dividends.

For those opposing dudes with slightly more health, we have the usual Auric Runehammer, which can be (and often is) paired with a damage-sweeper to hit the right mark.
Vanquish and Eilyn's Choice serve as protection against more powerful units.
Other weapons I've considered but eventually steered away from: Duelist's Blade and Sword of the Sky King.

Eventually they just felt like win-more, especially since all this deck really wants to do is stall (while beating with 4-power dudes) until Eilyn, Clan Mother can come clean everything up. She's an absolute handful, as most mothers can be ;)

I know, you're wondering where the Valkyrie Enforcers are, but sometimes we have to cut our darlings to improve the deck. I went with Bailiff in that slot. Feel free to go the other way with it, but I stand by this choice for any aggro-heavy meta.

I just crafted the last Eilyn's and the Feastcallers I needed and the first deck I played on Ladder was the mirror. I ended up grinding out the win, but I noticed that Lightning Storm felt kind of unnecessary with Hail Storm and that I really wish I had the ability to give Eilyn Aegis so I took two of them out for Protect and it's worked out really well so far.

Good to know. I think I originally started with them as Protect, but when grinding Gauntlet with the deck I switched them over and it stuck. I've been facing a TON of aggro on ladder, so I haven't minded. But I'm glad it's working for you!

Another way to get Eilyn aegis if you're interested (that I've been toying with) is Daraka, Queensguard. It's a big body, but solid.
