Information

This is a fast but consistent aggressive deck that I put together and it has worked very well. I'm not sure I'd change anything to be honest, although I have yet to pull Siraf from the market so that is probably cut-able. Also happens to be budget, especially if you cut Siraf then it has 0 legendaries. I don't have a ton of results yet but it has felt extremely good against the majority of the AI opponents.

Fearless Crescendo is a decent combat trick and can pull some powerful options like a Wind Conjuring. It goes very well to force through damage on an Aegis unit. The Aegis units do very well against the AI removal and we run 8 pump spells to force through damage and blow out the AI.

Give it a try, best of luck!

Results:

7 win, sudden death with us going first

7 win, defender of the spire with us going first

0 win, loss to a great draw from hiding in darkness. I also badly misplayed the last turn at 2 life, holding up Commando for blocking forgetting that I was taking 2 damage on the start of turn for lethal (you take opponent's night damage, plus the extra damage at night curse). I was also stuck on 2 for quite a few turns. Game was definitely winnable without pilot error.

2 wins, loss to Midnight Storm absolute nut draw with chaining 3 Black-Sky Harbingers and ultimating Ancient of the Caves drawing 8 cards from an empty hand. I had 5 cards in hand at the time. Didn't draw removal in time.

7 wins beating highly skilled and destroying Midnight Storm in the rematch with our deck having a slightly below average draw and going second!

7 wins, beating mindless aggression (play conservatively to avoid getting blown out by infiltrate units) and beat Midnight Storm along the way with not too much difficulty as it double blocked my Intrepid Longhorn with two 2/2 fliers and I pumped it up, killed both and got an undepleted power to make my 3 drops.

I had to come share that while making a deck based on this, I discarded Crownwatch Paladin for Hojan. I was very disappointed with hojan and ended up coming back to crownwatch. Very happy with the change. Synergies with Masters Blade and Unseen Commando are so good. Might partially be that this is the first combrei list I have ever played in gauntlet, but regardless I am enjoying it a lot. I see another comment about an article, could I get a link to that? I'd love to read it.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! My article can be found here

You mention in your article that Scorpion Wasp is a flex slot, can I suggest Moondial? I've found it to be the deciding factor in long games against other combrei decks.

I'm currenty reading your article, and you mention that, even though it has synergy with Unseen Commando, you're not exactly thrilled to include Crownwatch Paladin. Any thoughts on Rilgon's Disciple?
FallenChameleon Eternal Version: 1.50.6
A reasonable alternative, just based on 3 health makes it better as a blocker against the Fire decks that run out turn 1 Oni Ronin and the like. On the other hand, the Aegis is relevant in a few matchups as well. Rilgon's can do some nice tricks to the AI though and kill out of nowhere, so definitely a card to consider.
