[Top 30] Master Mandrakes 35-4

What can I say - this deck is just a meta optimized version of the former Rank 1 Houseplant Beatdown - TheBoxer. For an in depth guide, please have a look at TheBoxer's version.

That being said I don't think I would have had the same success without the small optimizations that I did. Edict of Makkar is super important and won me many games alone. The old market started at 4 cost and that was a big mistake. Time (or Justice) is very popular right now and there are barely any decks without those colors (and sometimes all you need is to disable a blocker to be able to swing for lethal). On top of that Suffocate as a card is super important - it get's rid of the nearly all the problematic early threats (like Wump, Jarall, +Power, Valks, ...).
Devouring Shadow over Express Route is debatable, but you usually have at least 4 shadow when you take it, so it mostly does the same for 1 mana less (that being said I mostly took the edict anyways).

I basically started this season from Bronze 3 and ranked up all the way to masters. In the lower leagues I mostly played grenadins and then switched over to Mandrakes in Gold 2. Then I exlusively played through gold and diamond with a record of 35-4, including a 20 games win streak.
