Information

People are going back to Rakano Plate due to it being a better positioned aggro deck on ladder. Thought I'd give it a try and this is what I came up with after playing a few matches with different builds. Went 7-1 this morning to climb to 35th masters. Fun deck, tell me what you think!

Honestly quite bad. Dropped from D2 to Gold trying to make it work, but it just doesn't.

Sorry that you didn’t have a good experience. :( maybe the meta is different at that rank? I’m seeing a lot of Feln and doing quite well vs it at top 30ish masters.
Ravager Edited Eternal Version: 1.31.6
Didn't see a single Feln at D3, it's mostly people still playing to climb to master, so a lot of skycrag, AP midrange, and your usual misc stuff. All in all I had a 29% winrate.

Basically it's too slow to stop aggro, and doesn't have good enough threats to do anything to midrange, but it's still extremely weak to removal-heavy decks.

What's the logic behind so many one-ofs? To improve the curve?
Magikarp Eternal Version: 1.31.6
The idea behind the one of's is those cards you only want to draw one of them EVER in a game. Drawing two of them would potentially make your game plan awkward. The cards that are two of's, 99% of the time you only want to see one of them in any given game, but you want them in more instances than the one ofs.
The cards that are three of's, you usually want one every game but having more than one could be awkward in your hand.
Four of's are reserved for cards that you want every game or are so critical to your game plan that you must play four.

Musket and Jekk are pretty nice cards but I did not feel like they should be more than 1 of's in this deck.

Obliterate seems more attractive to me than Jekk, but I haven't played this much yet.

Would Censari Brigand be worth considering? I feel she meshes quite well with all the weapons, warcries and Cinder Yeti.

Is Finest Hour worth a consideration? In combination with Plate, Yeti, Commando or Whirling it could be quite potent. It also counters Auric Runehammer quite hard and strips off Aegis for Vanquish or Torch.
Magikarp Eternal Version: 1.31.6
Obliterate and Jekk do serve similar roles, I just have so many weapons I feel like having that extra body may be worth it (plus, Jekk is just a fun card haha).

Brigand would be a really awesome card. I might actually try playing Brigand in my sideboard if I decide to play a deck like this in the ETS.

Finest Hour was in there originally. It was fine but I felt like the weapons served two purposes while having more intimidate impact on the battlefield. With Feln coming back, Weapons allow you to commit to the board while sand bagging your hasty creatures for kills after they hailstorm. Finest hour on the other hand, protects 1 of your creatures from hailstorm but it's on their turn so you're not benefiting from the plus 3 plus 3 damage side of things.
