Information

When Acquisitive Crow got spoiled, I knew I wanted to do something with it. After some failures with skycrag stuff. I thought he might be a good duo with the other awesome 3 drop bird. Turns out Hammer bird isn't the only 3 drop bird in town that likes to drop the hammer 4th turn. Turn 4 swing for 10, warcry 6, draw 2 1 cost spells is pretty good it turns out.

Deck still needs some tweaks, but runs the gauntlet pretty well. I'm at times wondering if Whispering Wind really belongs. Lethrai Secretweaver can be good sometimes ditching spells you don't need for 2 cards, but doesn't get much action. Possibly because it's only a 2 of.

Any suggestions would be nice to hear! Thanks for taking a look at the deck!

This is a really great concept! I actually like the Linebreaker's Shield. Haven't tested it yet but anything to break the numerous stuns the AI runs, and it's a decent statline. I think Whispering Wind is a lot better than you give it credit for. It lets you cycle situational cards away or some of the useless one cost spells off Acquisitive Crow. I'm running a mono primal list and it's a potent combination. Other than that, I would cut the Eilyn's Choice and probably the secret weaver for Merchants (probably Justice). If you go that route you can cut two hammer of Might for a couple Cobalt Monument (I think 25 is too few power) and then put a Hammer in the Market so it's always an option on Curve after Merchant, as well as a Justice sigil to make sure you don't miss your fourth power drop. Not sure about the other three cards but could be removal or the 4th Enforcer. Deck looks great overall!

Hey, I absolutely love your deck - thanks for posting! After playing with it for a bit, I made several changes that I think made the deck even better and posted them here: https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/sBsonpvIRU8/gauntlet-hooru-fliers

I got rid of some of the underperforming cards like Whispering Wind]/card] and Lethrai Secretweaver and put in some powerhouses such as Paladin Oathbrook and the market. Since making these changes I have not lost a single game in gauntlet. 21-0 so far. Hope you try the changes and if you do, let me know how it goes!
