Information

So I got to thinking about how Quicksilver Mirror is a powerful card and how much I'd love to have it see play so I came up with this deck that has been getting me win after win in Masters and can hit its combo fairly regularly.

The basic combo is to play Quicksilver Mirror and then play Svetya. Yes, Svetya is great early if you are already beating them up - this is a midrange deck mainly - but if you can hold back on Svetya until you can play Mirror first, you can shut out games, something which I've done several times already. You have a lot of Aegis units, so another good time to play Svetya is just after a sweeper takes off your aegii. Here's why some of the other cards that may need explanation:

Messenger Hawk - Great to have more Svetyas in your deck allowing you to gum up the enemy's plays even more. My priority when copying is usually - Svetya > Merchant > Enforcer > FeastCaller > Everything else

Borderlands Waykeeper - A gatekeeper aegis unit, the unit I swap away later on. Wanted both defenses (3 health and aegis) to help with aggro decks

Vanquish - Vara hate mainly, but works with any big units ;)

Vanquisher's blade - Double Vara hate. As other have said, don't always save it for the spellcraft - it's also a fine 2/2 for 2 weapon

2 Mirror Image - Works for earlier shutdown with Svetya, or more silence/big aegis units. Not as important as the later Quicksilver Mirror.

2 Avigraft - For the Varas. Also good on merchants and grenadins, other than that, not as useful.

Shelterwing Rider - Pretty bad when Vara is around, which is part of why all the hate. Otherwise, a body that is hard to kill and often left around long enough for it to be copied a ton by Quicksilver Mirror.

Everything else is pretty self explanatory.

thought on aniyah replacing shelterwing?

Could be good, but this deck doesn't have that many ways of activating renown - just 2 mirror images, 4 vanq blades, and the occasional tactic. Unfortunately, the activation of Quicksilver Mirror doesn't activate renown. The reasons I've found Shelterwing Rider to be good is it's hard to kill and usually not worth it for the opponent once they pop aegis, so it's almost always around once Quicksilver Mirror comes into play. Also, 5 health gums up the board, which is usually what you want to make it into the later stages of the game. Aniyah on the other hand, relies on her renown to be sticky, which we just can't reliably activate. If I were to make room for aniyah, I would first try cutting 2 Sheriff Marley as she is less useful in this deck.
