Information

A combo deck that is similar to Charge Rod, however instead of using Divining Rod on units with charge/flying, we use Divining Rod on units with revenge.

From initial play testing, this deck appears to fluff less often/be more consistant then Charge Rod, and this is for many reasons. It actually feels like a hybrid of the old pre pathfinder nerf Echo Makto Decks + Charge Rod.

- Much more resilient to removal, we can even use Harsh Rule offensively since all of our units have revenge. Its also how we can reliably trigger the tribute for End of the Story since our units have revenge.
- Early game with Stonepowder Alchemist/Piercing Grief, the consistent lifesteal does wonders in surviving early game
- Access to much better removal, i.e. Slay/Banish plus Xenan Initiation

The downside is that the deck feels less combo'ey, i.e. our potential for getting something ridiculous like 4 units onboard with 10+ health/damage is a lot lower

Notable Cards
Divining Rod - Nuff said
Alhed, Mount Breaker - This card is fantastic in this deck, although usually a heavyweight in time, in this deck Alhed, Mount Breaker inspire is used in conjunction with revenge triggers. Furthermore we can do fun stuff with his ultimate, like put a Destinied unit with killer on the top of the deck for it to come back yet again, stronger plus with an additional card draw
Elias, the Broken Wing - I think the only somewhat viable deck with Elias, he really shines here. He can jump on board much earlier with Divining Rod and the combination of lifesteal + flying means you win against many racers. If he gets inspired by Alhed, Mount Breaker, even better.
Xenan Initiation - A must, its our only way to work through Aegis (particularly if they happen to be holding a vanquishers blade), plus the recursion with revenge is insane.

The deck probably requires a little bit more optimization, I would like to somehow fit more Banish in here, we need them against Statuary Maiden and the like. Having 2 of Harsh Rule and 2 of End of the Story might be better, especially with all of the Stand Together and Sword of Unity flying around. Also including more units is an option to increase the odds of Divining Rod hitting something.

So is this good on the ladder? I would love to build this, but I have to decide between this and the rakano valkyries deck.

What about Answer the Call? Seems to be staple in any Rod deck.

Really cool list, will be trying this one for sure!

You haven't lived until you've Dark Returned a Killer Stonepowder Alchemist powered by Alhed. Thank you for that.

I didn't have Elias so I put a 3/3 Alessi/Crownwatch package after moving stuff around, and they're a natural fit for this deck. A+

Glad that you like it, can you post your variant with Alessi, Combrei Archmage/Crownwatch Press-Gang, interested to see how you fit it into this deck
