My spin on the most hated deck of it's time.
I love Severin, as long as the first came out, played a lot with the second one, and now, time for the third!
As a returning player i don't have all the new cards, so if you miss any new staples, that's why.
Strategy:
Ramp to
Severin of the Dark and play him on T6 with any power, and
Reap. Most likely the enemy will concede at that point, if not, grind them out with your value.
Azindel, Revealed from the market is a common tool for Xenan high end (or at least it was back in my days), and seems like a good bomb now as well.
Things to take note of:
Wasteland Broker is not a generic mechant. If you want something try to grab it a few turns before as it will not go to your hand, but into the top of your deck.
Vara's Choice is in my experience a good sub for other types of hard removal.
Desert Alchemist, Blistering Wasp and
Steward of the Past can take care of big threats so silencing threat effects is better in my opinion this way, that doing other hard removal, like
Deathstrike
Vara, Vengance-Seeker is a general bomb on it's turn. Against slower deck she can win on her own. If one is not enough grab her back with...
Dread. This card help you with your own recursion, grab back poison units, buffed Vara, Vengance-Seekers, and even
Severin of the Dark or
Azindel, Revealed.
The deck seems to struggle against aggro if you miss your early drops, and against control, if you miss the
Evenhanded Golem. Some more card draw could help, but as of now i don't know where to put it.
Market:
Dread is dicussed above, i'm happy with it as of now.
Azindel, Revealed is a nice bomb against slower decks, helped me win a few matches.
Saber-Tooth Prideleader: Helps you against aggro and relic based strategies like
Svetya's Sanctum.
Lumen Reclaimer: I was facing a few mill decks (i'm on low bronze, cries in new player), so that's why she is here. This slot is semi-open.
Passage of Eons: I'm the least happy with this card, but as of know i don't have any better ideas. The goal for this would be wide combo/ability removal. This slot is open.
