So this list is an update of one that I found awhile ago here on Warcry, but which seems to have been taken down. I think it's worth posting because the deck just got another very important tool:
Mirrorscale!
The basic idea of the deck has been around for awhile: get value out of sacrificing and playing relics. Both
Waystone Gate and
Bottled Storm are immensely profitable targets. Add in other value-driven relics, the potent draw engine that is
Severin, the Mad Mage and
Pitfall Trap, and the mass-sacrifice engine of
Clear the Way, and you've already got an interesting mix. What really brings it all together though, is
Fair Exchange.
Exchange is our market access/win-con slot machine. You can trade the Sentinels you get from
Clear the Way or the Giant you get from the Gate for some of the best units in the game.
Black-Sky Harbinger is a lifesteal flyer that boardwipes aggro, for example. You can also get
Azindel, Revealed to draw the opponent's deck with all of your Rats and Dinos, or drop
Great-Kiln Titan for some free cards off the top of your own deck. The Titan is also great for burn damage given the sheer number of relics we play.
However, the big stars of the market are the last two cards.
Davia, Azurebreaker lets you immediately play Exchange again when you fetch her. Very often, you can get a ton of value by making your second target
Mirrorscale! You can immediately get back one of the relics you sacrificed for even more value. One very nice choice to revive is
Mystical Shackles. It's even more reusable in this deck without being as damaging to sacrifice, which is why I play the full 4 copies.
Plus, once
Mirrorscale starts attacking, you can do stupid things like play
Clear the Way, get Sentinels for a low cost, and then do it all again. Or, you can get yourself a second activation of
Lethrai Lobotomy!
Put it all together and you've got a deck that's a lot of fun, and very customizable.
