Hoot Hoot Temporal

Mulligan and General Strategy

Always look for power, Auralian Merchant, Desert Marshal, Scorpion Wasp and cheap ways to shape your hand such as Strategize and Wisdom of the Elders (Crests help as well).

You are not in a hurry to play your Auralian Merchant and your Strategize, I rather keep them in hand until i know what im looking for.

Your key turns powerwise are
-3 Wisdom of the Elders, Hailstorm,Scorpion Wasp, Auralian Merchant
-5 Harsh Rule,Stronghold Visage, Moondial activation and
-8 Temporal Distortion, ideally into Channel the Tempest if the board allows it
so consider dropping a merchant to ramp into those turns

This deck is a lot of fun and feels pretty strong, the game usually ends 1 or 2 turns after playing Temporal Distortion or A New Tomorrow, if you dont feel pressured get either of those from the Market, but try to hold on to the merchant for as long as possible (unless you need his excellent blocker abilities). Dont be greedy if you have Temporal Distortion and carddraw in hand, sometimes it is correct to play The Great Parliament with 7 power to secure Temporal Distortion -> Channel the Tempest without dying.


Top Contenders for the market:
-Excavate
-Disjunction because relic weapons are scary
-Moondial
-Desert Marshal
-Vital Arcana for some draw and emergency heal
-Cirso's Choice for some AOE or emergency heal in the market, felt good when i ran it

Happy for any constructive feedback, especially considering the powerbase.
