Information

After Soulfire Drake got nerfed today I refunded the playset I crafted and decided that since Champion of chaos is a gunslinger now that hideout pistol is probably worth playing. So far I'm 10-0 with the deck in Master.

This deck has gotten me into Master 3 months in a row.

I'm basically ignoring the meta and just using this deck because it is so consistently strong.

Thank you for posting it ^_^

This is basically the deck I've been using -- the biggest difference is that I've been using cabal countess in place of cinder yeti. I feel like countess's pseudo-charge is really helpful considering how much removal people are using.

I do not know how you play on this deck, but lack of solutions make the game impossible on it. I decided to check in the usual game, I lost the green deck, with not the strongest cards, 5 creatures came in, the rest of the earth. Vara favor why here? I played a few more games, comes in - well, and all the same decisions are few. I hope the popularity of this stupidity will pass.

There are 14 removal spells not counting vara's favor which can be a removal spell vs aggro decks. Additionally with the yeti and all the quick draw you can attack into creatures pretty easily. I'm still having great success with it in masters, climbing in the 200ish range. I definitely would cut the suffocate for another annihilate though since pistols cover that slot better

I ran this decklist as is and hit a real good streak in Gold 1, Diamond 3 and Diamond 2, going something like 20 - 2 (including FINALLY getting my 10 wins in a row achievement). Ended up hitting masters a bit later, running at around a 75% win rate over nearly 40 games.

Didn't see Tavrod once, and only saw big praxis (a bad matchup for a deck with little hard removal) a few times.

Hideout Pistol + Argenport Instigator or Champion of Chaos is super tempo positive.

Glad you had success with it too!

thoughts on Stonescar Sneak and Common Cause?
BizarroDavid Eternal Version: 1.28.7
I'm currently trying out common cause and it seems ok, but with only 20 gun slingers they don't always hit. I also needed to shave some of the utility lands to make room since I need basics for the thrones and favors.
I don't like the 1/1 since you generally use all or most of your Mana every turn meaning the extra ability is less good, and a 1/1 is a lot worse than a 2/1 (whose extra ability is a 1 time thing, great if you flooded a bit).
Other than that I'm trying out 1 Jekk over the suffocate since suffocate is less good now that I have 4 pistols
