My favorite deck ever - elven aggro. And with new sweet
Ashara, Widowmaker I finally can turn it into really good deck.
Unfortunally, it is very disruptable by things like
Equalize,
Saloon Massacre,
Eremot's Designs etc, but if opponent can’t clear the board until turn 4 you can kill 'em pretty fast. Best matchups for this deck are usually fire aggro (because you have better units/endurance/bunch of lifegain) and slow midrange decks wit bad early game. The worst one is all-sweepers piles, massacre on t3 = gg.
Why condemn? I think there is no better market option for the deck's style. In sideboard you can find another spells for it.
About some card not included to list
Acantha Ascending forces you to focus deck around her (e.g. adding bad cards like
Shadow Symbol or
Makkar Evangel) and with heavy S you likely to miss TT for
Ashara, Widowmaker.
Switchblade Deadeye or
Heirloom Seeker can be powerful with
Sunset Stone in play, but useless otherwise.
Territorial Elf is strong as aggressive unit, but only 1 hp makes it too vulnerable.
Livia, Hexweaver: I used her before Ashara came up, but now I feel like having enough 3 drops.
Rhysta, Acantha's Herald definitely underwhelming.
I like your deck. It's fun to play a Xenan Aggro deck instead of the more commen Xenan Midrange decks.
Why didn't make Hesitate the cut into the sideboard as a wrath protection? Maybe for Telekinetic Shackles?
For which cases did you include the Shackles?
