Information

I love Waxing Moon and Black-Sky Harbinger.

Complete overhaul of the deck, lowered the curve, added some spicy tech thanks to the comments, I am not the best at power base, as it's not easy to hit 3 primal by turn 4 but this is my go at it. We are hitting 4 shadow at least usually. Give things deadly, and ping. SST is a flex slot I suppose? But helps when staring down opposing SSTs.

No Kyrex Coach-Driver?
chaostehjace Eternal Version: 21.06.09
Me and a buddy have been tinkering with similar lists for a long time now, and with the addition of Waxing Moon, Coach Driver just feels bad, comes down too late, is just not great as a mono colored 3/3. The need to draw a unit through it has been kind of awful in testing. I do appreciate what the card does, when it was the only option to get deadly on anything outside of Touch of Battle, I ran it. I think it's time to move away from the card as it just does not provide the same value as Waxing Moon.
PandaMan0 Eternal Version: 21.06.09
You should also consider Yetipult - I created a very similar deck a while ago and found that a deadly Yetipult is the next best thing after deadly Black-Sky Harbinger. You could also consider Torrential Downpour - Touch of Battle turns it into a one-sided boardwipe like Black-Sky.
chaostehjace Eternal Version: 21.06.09
I normally run Yetipult in similar builds, I like the idea of TD, and will add that. Do you think I should swap the market over to Vinegrafter? The charge is cute but usually irrelevant and I know Regen is strong.
PandaMan0 Eternal Version: 21.06.09
I would test and find out what the deck’s weaknesses are, and find the best Market to shore them up. To me, having better Market options is more important than the merchant/grafter I’m using. That being said, I made my version of the deck prior to release of Grafters, so it has no Market.

Also, you may want to consider some bounce effects, such as the power card that Transmutes at 5 max power to a 2-cost teleport effect (can’t remember the name right now, on mobile). Not too many, but some cheap bounce effects can not only let you re-play your BSH and Yetipults, but, if they’re fast speed, can bait out removal.
chaostehjace Eternal Version: 21.06.09
So I have a market, I like regen because it can blank ridiculous overwhelm damage if it needs to. The decks weaknesses are usually running out of gas or just not having set up, and I think the main deck should cover the latter with strong choices. I think Last Chance is a good include, Burglarize is my only relic answer in shadow and provides additional card draw. I like Nullblade a lot and it can become a win condition if your opponent falls behind. Toll is a flex slot but depends on the meta. Icaria is obnoxious and even more so as a 6/6 with regen.
PandaMan0 Edited Eternal Version: 21.06.09
Yeah I think both Markets seemed fine and logic is sound, I would have to test stuff myself to give any further comments on that I think.

One note though - you can also use the 3-cost Shadow valkyrie to steal cheap relics (I forgot the name of this too lol), or you can use Disrupt since Grafters have access to neutral cards in market as well. You could also consider Dizo’s Office as your top end out of market, if you are looking for more control-y top end. But again, just a thought, Icaria is definitely good to slam down as well.

Thought that just popped up - you could consider main deck Tamarys, Earthshaker as well, for the Shift effect.
chaostehjace Eternal Version: 21.06.09
I have also tested Tamarys, and I find that while getting deadly on her is easy, my opponents at the time are conveniently running flyers, so unless flyers largely disappear from meta, I think the ability to hit everything takes priority. Another reason SST is good in this list IMO.
