Information

EDIT: Whisperer got nerfed so the deck no longer works. Party's over, everyone go home :(

Valley Whisperer has a fun quirk: if the unit has 4 or more attack on summon, but not in hand, they will still draw copies - but since they don't have Unleash in hand the 1-cost doesn't apply.

There are arguably easier ways to do this (flying units have multiple board buffs before turn 4, or naturally free units like Armorsmith), but going the Oni route has a few advantages:

* Kyojun gives +2/+2. Reducing a unit's cost by 1 is a lot easier than 2, so making a 1-cost 2/1 combo off easier is a huge help.
* Mask Maker is more relevant in a tribal setup - it can both be an enabler and a combo piece while still having decent board presence and still coming in under turn 4.
* Battlefront Dasher is a great finisher. Charge means you can drop Whisperer->Dasher and win out of nowhere, and the attached stat buff means you scale your damage as high as needed to push through lethal. You can also get 1000 debt as a flex, then have your client break and be unable to login for a few minutes...
* There's a fair amount of weapon synergy in the tribe. Drawing cards, giving overwhelm and putting bodies down is all things we want to be doing.

What does Unexpected Arrival do in this deck?
JankAlchemy Eternal Version: 22.07.01
Its primary purpose is to make your 1- cost 2/1 units into 0-cost 3/2 units. It also makes Valley Whisperer come out cheaper, which can help you do the combo in one turn, or get Grazer to value off.

Ultimately you'd rather get an early Journey Guide, but redundancy is nice.

Magnificent. Based on the name alone I had to give it a go. Didn’t need an excuse to craft my last two Kazuo, but this gave me incentive. What do we think the odds are that this is an exploit - or a couple exploits - that DWD will shut down?
JankAlchemy Eternal Version: 22.07.01
It's possible but based on how other cards work I think it's working as intended. Even if it was patched there's still plenty of ways to abuse Valley Whisperer - bond, Dawnwalker, Endra etc.

Awesome take on this deck! It did feel a bit light on power when I tried it, so I'd trim some support cards for inscribes (Lost in Thought / Exodus). I also think you can run good old Oni Ronin over Kazuo.
crookedrook11 Eternal Version: 22.07.01
Oooo… I like Exodus.
JankAlchemy Eternal Version: 22.07.01
Good call and thanks for trying it! I don't think Musket is the big enabler here, I'll try taking out Kazuo/Musket for Kazuo/Lost in Thought.
psly4mne Eternal Version: 22.07.01
I meant to also ask you, what is the Grazer in the market for? I'm running Grodov's Burden, which is slow but silly with the Quartermaster/Chizue. Wondering if I'm missing something on Grazer, and thinking about jamming 1-2 Crack the Earth.
crookedrook11 Eternal Version: 22.07.01
Supply Lines?
JankAlchemy Edited Eternal Version: 22.07.01
Other than Whisperer and Obelisk, the rest of the market is pretty secondary. Haven't figured it out fully yet. Sloth is only really in there as a target for extra Arrivals/Merchants - it can get a ton of value if you have whisperer and journey guide, but is easily replacable if you need e.g. relic hate, or silence for lawmages.
ZE1TGEIST Eternal Version: 22.07.01
OK, the real flexnof this deck, is using Unexpected Arrival on sloth, then unleashing small army of sloths via Unleash with whisperer. Then, giving the sloths charge with BF-Dasher. Hyper sloths FTW! Or having them die and Hyper corrupted ghost sloths FTW! Because I can't think of a much cooler way to win. 😂
