Hey! It's me again!
Today i come to you with a relic deck, i know out of all the times to post this deck i chose a meta that is pretty heavily anti-relic.
Anyways, what this deck tries to do is keep the board control while trying to get value out of combos like
Vara's Sanctum +
Tidal Forces or
Vara's Sanctum +
Black-Sky Harbinger, funny enough even
Yetipult +
Vara's Sanctum.
Now a lot of you will probably rattle at their monitor by now, trying to hold in the grudge to informing me about the fact that a lot of people will probably run relic removal and get rid of it, well we don't care because our secondary plan is to just either mill or beat the opponent down, which is also fairly easy to achieve.
This deck might not be a ladder climbing deck but like most of my other decks it tries to have unique, surprising combos up its sleeve.
As always feedback and/or some comments are greatly appreciated (and a like if you enjoyed the deck or like the idea!) and i just love to be able to have an exchange!
Note: The Sideboard are cards you could swap in given certain matchups etc.
Cards like:
Felrauk's Choice,
Rindra's Choice and of course
Snowcrush Animist are the only cards viable to change both in the market and deck all other sideboard cards are most likely better in the market.
Thanks to:
Talares for the good swap ideas!

I also switched Helio, the Skywinder with Blitrok, Linrei's Listener and switched Dark Wisp for Dreamsnatcher, they do more for the deck.
Instead of the fun-of Jarrall Iceheart I'm trying Tormented Crown.
I really like your idea with Waxing Moon instead of Vara's Sanctum, i need to admit that this is a very old deck that i came up with back when there was no Waxing Moon, it's so embarrassing that i didn't see that card being so much better for the deck, so thank you!
Helio, the Skywinder and Dark Wisp are in the deck because my main goal is to get access to the market as fast as possible to grab Vara's Sanctum, though thinking about it now, Blitrok, Linrei's Listener is a lot faster and gives you a lot more counter options with invoke or the 1 Dmg ping. The sad part is most of the decks i build i don't have a lot of cards this also counts towards Blitrok, Linrei's Listener, so when i build this deck with its core in mind i didn't think much about cards that i didn't know/own.
That said your feedback is very welcome and i had a lot of "aha" and "yes, totally, why didn't i think of this?!" moments ^^'
One thing that i would like your thoughts on is with Vara's Sanctum gone how relevant is Tidal Forces since my main idea was to gain life from 7/4 Living Waves, with Waxing Moon in i think it makes more sense to swap them out.
I see you have put in 3 instead of 4 Waxing Moon. As you want a second one to have both sides always active, I would suggest playing 4 in main.
This is my current list:
I don't have enough shiftstone to craft one Heartstopper and I didn't like Essence Feast.
