Information

Dran, Won't Back Down left his life of farming, the rats were too much for him. Along with his Prize Sow and his sidekick Grumbo, Tota Legend, he offered all the rats as sacrifices to Tasbu, the Forbidden. With this unholy pact, he sometimes win gauntlets...

I tried to keep the power curve low to not automatically lose when I draw no more than 2 powers in the first 5 - 10 turns, which is probably the main reason I lose gauntlets. You can manage quite a large zoo with only 2 or 3 power and hope for many lucky hits with Rift Siphon to get this project somewhere. This works well because the AI assigns very low value to rats that can't block and will rarely trade units when you attack, scoring a ton of hits. Do not hesitate to send them to their death, especially to proc Tasbu, the Forbidden.

I initially designed the deck around Smuggler's Toll, which makes dealing 12 damage by a Xultan Conclave a pretty hilarious win, however 4 cost is way too much to be practical.

A big surprise for me was to realize that Unkindness was actually fairly good. When you opponent spends a turn playing attachments or removing your units, it's a win. The AI also seemingly likes to play Seek Power and other ramp cards as a top priority, sometimes preventing him from playing anything actually relevant.

I included Aerie Steward because I like that card, but it's often not that useful because of the cost.

The market highlights are Supply Lines and Torrent of Spiders, which we don't see often. It's for the rare case when you've played the Sandstorm Scarf, but still have to deal with a bunch of threats, or in the case that you want to proc Grumbo, Tota Legend several times

I hope you enjoy!
