This is the deck I've been playing in the event. So far my record is 5-3, 7-1, 6-3, and at least one losses was because of an early morning misplay. It's not a massive sample size, but the deck has been performing admirably.
The original list (
Dark Armory by Superhans) has -4
Sword of Icaria replaced with +2
Statuary Maiden and +2
Inquisitor Makto, but I just don't have them. That said, being able to go
Tinker Apprentice on 1, and
Sword of Icaria on 2 is pretty good in most match ups.
Update: Finished my last run, so I figured I would update with final scores. My run scores were 5-3, 7-1, 6-3, 5-3, 6-3, 7-1, for an overall record of 36-14.
I ended up playing the exact same list you posted, and I went 7-2!
So, thanks for the idea!
(Rise to challange to the 1x Makto feels sooo good btw!)
