Gauntlet Lifesteal Combo v3 - Rise of Bloodnurse

Back and Beefier!

An edit of my previous favorite gauntlet deck Gauntlet Lifesteal Combo - now with 100% more Grumbo!, with greater consistency, more combos, and even more spice! Was waiting to post this until the new set to see if any pieces fit. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like anything is worth replacing, but it's more than strong enough as is.

Main Deck Changes

Most of the times I was losing with the last deck was due to either not drawing into a combo or not being able to play on curve. Swapping out Bloodcall Invoker and Grim Reminder for Cull the Deck and Bloodnurse allows you to do a lot more in the 1-2 power range, and greatly increases the likelihood of drawing into a combo with both better card access and the creation of a new combo. I'm not good at math, but more combos + more draw = more % get combo.

Bloodnurse is pretty useless by itself, but adds so many more options to what you can do with this deck. With the change to Grodov's Burden to buff your units +1/+1, you can twist Bloodnurse to create 2/2 Vampire Bats, then chump block with the bats and put the weapons on Bloodnurse. Each sacrificed Vampire Bat lets you twist into 2 more, so you can lock down the board if you aren't getting great draws otherwise and either buy yourself time to build a combo or just win an outright war of exalted attrition. And worst case scenario they kill your Bloodnurse after your one twist and you still have a 5/3 flier with lifesteal, but the AI tends to focus their removal on your Vampire Bats which only helps your cause. The last deck, while strong, didn't have much counter-play to large flying units besides pulling Gnash, Desert Prince from the market, so this adds another dimension to your defense.

The Combos

I am pleased to announce that the total number of unit-only combos has increased to 3! That's a whopping increase of 50%! Here are the combinations that will cascade into absurd wins without needing to play another card:

1) Katra, the Devoted + Spiritweaver+ Moldermuck
(needs +1/+1 to activate, then attack with Moldermucks)
2) Katra, the Devoted + Grumbo, Tota Legend+ Moldermuck
(just need to attack with Moldermucks)
3) Katra, the Devoted + Grumbo, Tota Legend + Bloodnurse
(twist Bloodnurse down to 1 health then attack with Vampire Bats)

If you manage to get all 4 units then it gets even spicier.
And if Katra, the Devoted doesn't want to hang out with you and you can't get any combo, just play Grodov's Burden and outlast them. Now every unit besides Katra, the Devoted gains exalted and there is more access to lifesteal units, so it should be easy in almost every match.

Market

Same as last time with End Of An Era and Slumbering Range swapped for Mask of Torment and Banish. Honestly these spots don't really matter much, just pull Grodov's Burden first unless:
You're about to lose to fliers --> Gnash, Desert Prince
You're about to lose to a big fat fatty --> Huntmaster Vikrum
