Budget EXP Skycrag Dragons Aggro D2 to Masters 2020-04-12

original list from Autumn7 thx for sharing the list.

i took following cards out from original or other skyscrag dragons list:
Provoke the Dragons - it was always a too small burn spell or just way too slow since it was not a fast spell. if i had a Provoke the Dragons in hand i always wished it was a Sear. i was nearly never able to trigger Berserk, maybe one time but one of my dragons got killed and i got killed on the backswing next turn.
Dragon Forge - you want to play units or clear enemy blockers/dangerous units not cards that slow you down one turn to get one unit, we are not a combo or control deck.
Skywatch Zealot - did most of time nothing, just sitting there as a 0/3 wall but could not even kill any X/1 attackers. the Exalted maybe helps sometimes to make your Dragon butts bigger but if you gonna care about blocking you probably loose the game anyways.
Burningcore Drake - don't ever play this unit, it just gets easily blocked by 1/1 flyer aka humbug or just dies pretty fast from a Blazing Salvo. You don't want to loose to a humbug. ;)
Tattoo Dragon - too weak, get easily Spear ed or removed next turn and did most of the time nothing, maybe one time it survived and i got an 2/2 grunt token.
Thunderstrike Dragon - way too slow, we have no ramp spells.
Stonesmelt Dragon - way too slow, we have no ramp spells.
Emblem of Linrei - you don't want too take too much self-damage for all the aggro mirrors during climbing.
Pyre Elemental - is pretty nice synergy with Blazing Salvo but i didn't found a card in market i would switch out for that, since you want to play every removal you could get to remove potential blockers or dangerous threads. Pyre Elemental i think works if you are a super aggressive decks like throne yeti, where you want to finish the game much more faster than our game plan, since our dragons are pretty expensive in comparison to one and two costs yeti. So if you maybe don't have an Edict of Shavka (i think this is maybe the least one i fetched from market) you could play Pyre Elemental to even faster finish game, but i think that his 3 toughness is a little too low since it dies pretty easily next turn due a Sear, also i think it misses a little bit extra like overwhelm or another battle skill with that i would most likely play it. You should give it a try anyways in place of Edict of Shavka to see how it goes. Edict of Linrei is super needed vs all the Grodov's Stranger and Milos, Rebel Bomber and many many more. as we speak now, today is an big balance patch of 24 units, let's see if Grodov's Stranger will decrease now...


maindeck card choices:
Ruinous Burst - during my masters climb i got paired against various iterations of strangers and corrupted decks. so killing a Kazuo, Melee Virtuoso and a Furyblade, two Shen-Ra, Unbreakable s or Kato, Arena Herald and Kindling Carver was very statisfying, unfortunately i wasn't able to see opponent face he just got destroyed by a crappy common card. :)
Borderlands Waykeeper - this also looks pretty odd, but it holds off aggro decks with small 2/1 units that don't have finest hour. If they play a 2/1 weapon after and kill your Borderlands Waykeeper thats actually pretty good, so the weapon won't be used on your next Crimson Firemaw or Acedonis, Untained.
Wisdom of the Elders - it synergizes very well with Eclipse Dragon so that you are able to play something during your opponent turn.
Milos, Rebel Bomber - you think what does the Rebel Gunslinger in a Dragon deck ?! he is our Rebel aggro unit that could kill enemy's out of nowhere. also very seldom you hit for extra 5 damage of firebomb that wins you the aggro mirror race. good thing to know if your opponent should have face aegis, firebomb still deals 5 damage himself directly, so it ignores face aegis. if you didn't heared awesome stories how someone died to suprise Milos, Rebel Bomber, you could be the next one. :) You should defenitly get Whispers of the Throne Set 1085, without Milos, Rebel Bomber you are way slower deck.


ultra budget choices:
if you don't have Crimson Firemaw - you could play Aeva, Eilyn's Elite, this is also a Sear-proof flyer. i would recommend to get Campaign2 - The Tale of Horus Traver, it also has other cards that you would need for other decks.


market choices:
Kaleb's Farvor - get us out of power screw and one time i was able to finish off with Kaleb's Farvor the final three damage FTW.


general playhint:
if your enemy got a lifesteal unit out and it is your turn, if you got the decision to shoot down the unit or play yourself a unit, it is always the correct decision to kill the enemy lifesteal unit asap, if you wait and he gains about 4-6 life you will probobly loose the game in the long run.
if your opponent is playing corrupted or sacrifice deck, if he is drawing 2-4 cards for more than three turns, you probably already have lost the game and should gave up the match immedately and queue into the next one, don't need to waste another 15 mins to see him playing solitaire and if he is able finally to get off.
