Starting from drewbagel423's
Rolantport (Tier 1), updated to splash Keelo from the market for all the good stuff of
Keelo, Iron Tutor
Early WIP still, open to contributions
Untested powerbase, even though that's probably what will make or break this archetype
I've only been able to test with this budget version so far
budget midrange keelo. It's clearly suboptimal, but has been wrecking it so far. Wait and see
First run, mindless agression beaton into submission with lifelinkers from T2 onward. Crushed it, not a single game even close.
You go for the midrange gameplan, and consider the Keelo route if and when it's available. Just great.
Then again Keelo + Tasbu is obviously cheating.
Update: less merchants, more etchings.
I've been debated on that point before, but I am neither convinced by my experience nor the theory. To each their own, but I believe in the list much more like that so that's how I'm presenting it until new points are raised.
Currently considering lowering the curve further with one less Tasbu and more fixing instead. Probably Kodosh.
Second run completed as well, the spell girl went down by turn 5
