Information

This is a Scream deck. In TPS.

Why on earth would someone do this?

BECAUSE Dread IS REALLY, REALLY GOOD FOR IT.

Basically, with just a Time splash for Dread, it'd be pretty good. But throw in Crown, and the ability to look for it with Display, and this goes off the rails really fast.

With a Crown or two, and two Dreads floating back and forth, you'll get all kinds of crazy shenanigans. Anytime you draw a unit from the void, you'll get more abilities. 7/8 Deadly, Lifesteal, Echo, Destiny, Charge, Flying Varas? No problem. Dread with Double Damage, Quickdraw, Overwhelm, Lifesteal, Charge? You bet. **Slaps hood of deck** This baby can fit so many skills!

Don't underestimate the power of recursion on Jennev Merchant. You draw cards from the Market, so tossing a unit in there early, then recurring the Merchant to get it back later just adds skills to it.

Update 12/21/2018: So turns out that Lifespeaker and Clockroach were entirely not necessary. So dropped them, added some more removal, and trimmed a little fluff for some Temple Scribes for card draw. Gotta figure out how to beat Justice's three hit anti-Scream combo: Adjudicator's Gavel, Vanquisher's Blade, and Avigraft.

Update 12/22/2018: Upgraded the removal suite a little, dropped the Scribes (we have plenty of draw without them), and Added Alhed, Mount Breaker to close out tough games and/or punch through beefy dudes.I think we're getting close to a ladder viable deck.

Sidenote on Mulligans: If you're probably facing any kind of aggro deck, keep anything with a decent amount of removal. You'll be casting those constantly and your units don't really help until the recursion is ready. So keep those frosts, banishes, and Annihilates to get rid of the threats until you start Vara-ing or Dread-ing.

The first time I played your deck, on turn 7 after having 7 power in play, 2 in hand along with 2 crowns active, I "literally" yelled IS THERE A GOD DAMNED CREATURE IN THIS DECK????

Game 2: EXACT SAME THING, 2 Crowns, 7 power ZERO creatures. Turn 8 I fraw my first dude which of course dies instantly. Not enough creatures for all the tricks in this deck maybe?

Time Primal Merchant for a 3 drop 4/4 with relic, relic hate in the market? Alternatively Shakedown or Sabotage for early disruption? If relics are your problem, you are in the colors to fix them

The downside to that is not being able to fetch Crowns or Screams from the market. I'll mess with it tomorrow and see what shakes loose. But I do like this idea. Banish deals with both Gavel and Avigraft, if you draw them and don't have to use them to survive.

This deck is really fun to play! Merchants with echo getting merchants with echo out of the market make for good times

Thanks! I hope it's getting you at least a 50% winrate too!

How is this deck doing?
Shovelmint Eternal Version: 1.42
It's not very good for ladder. It spikes a game every now and then, but mostly suffers from lack of removal.
Quantificate Eternal Version: 1.42
I agree, see updates. Still trying to figure out a way to not have to auto-scoop to any deck that can fit a Gavel or Avigraft.
