They're nerfing Talir so I need to find more broken things to do. Most other lists I've seen have way too many fair cards so I cut them all for more cantrips. I'd like to try out
Herald's Song as another way to both dig for combo pieces and discard
Mirror Images.
Basically, This list tries to go off on turn 8 with some consistency, or turn 6 with less consistency,
Step 1:
Iceberg Scattershot (1 damage dealt to opponent)
Step 2:
Mirror Image copying the aforementioned yeti (2 more damage, total of 3)
Step 3:
West-Wind Herald, shoot the opponent for 2 with Scattershots, infiltrate re-casts Image, which copies the Herald, rinse and repeat until you fill the board, for a total of 20 damage. If they aren't dead from an earlier attack with a
Gorgon Fanatic, they're gonna die next turn to your hoard of flying Aegis units
Haunting Scream appears out of place, but allows us some more combo potential by re-animating Scattershot: on 7 power we can Scream back a Scattershot and play Herald in the same turn, or if we stick a naked Herald, we can Scream back Scattershot the turn we get a "fair" attack in to trigger infiltrate the honest way.
Fanatic serves both as a way to dig for combo pieces, as well as another payoff for Haunting Scream.
The scant removal suite of
Annihilate and
Permafrost handle our two biggest threats:
Sandstorm Titan and
Teacher of Humility, both of which put huge speedbumps on our strategy.
I'm up to two Merchants, as I kept losing games to finding a Jennev, and thus 2/3rds of the combo, but dying before I could find Scattershot
