When first coming back to Eternal... I knew I wanted a "cruise control" gauntlet grinder that not only won games, but aimed to win them as fast as possible. This deck has a super high win-rate and very fast games due to the overpowered Mightweaver and lifesteal buffer that's been worked into the deck. Have fun and rolling in silver chests!

I've started running a version of this https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/e-UZqV17m74/gauntlet-throne-deck-based-on-echolocations-a-space for throne and gaunt, not the best, probably less good for gaunt that this but fun and good enough for a 15 win streak from silver 3 to gold 3 in 1 sitting.
Fun fact: I had the AI use a relic weapon on a buffed double damage icaria and it made them lose the game!
Some possible changes: stonescar smuggler is usually better than kerendon merchant for the extra attack. I replaced statuary maiden and Wyatt's junkyard with strange burglar and that 5 cost unit that gives +5 attack to another unit on entomb for a slightly more budget option that meets the 5 attack requirement of might weaver and spirit weaver.
at 103-2 not sure you need to make any changes but.....I would consider putting Icaria in the Market and use Broker to get it back....this makes sure you draw it when you actually have the power to play it. Doing this will clear up some spots where you could consider cards like Refracted Sentinel or Dark return. since there is a lot of Lifesteal then maybe consider Desecrate as a Kill card.
thanks for the feedback piper. will try icaria in market over buh-ton and try replacing her in the maindeck with some sort of "reach" to finish games even quicker. on a side note, the ai does not like to block Syl, unless shes about to hit for lethal! hilarious
im gonna copy/paste your list and do as many run as i can today. hoping to make the "go to" gauntlet grinder deck - even considering ways to make it more budget friendly, but thats another project altogether i think. im still at only 2L and well over 140 wins now. syl works great, wish i had more copies!
just lost one...mainly due to power screw....but I actually made it to where I would have won the next turn but th eopponent got an 11/11 weapon to play on his 1/1 flyer! LOL Very impressed with 103-2 and not having any fluke losses..no power screw or AI getting the perfect draws.
adding in the plunders, crests, and especially cull the deck really helped me get out of those "no power" situations. ive replaced buhton with the "kill unit take 3 damage card" and it seems to be working alright. leaving statuary maiden in for the two void recursion decks that seem to pop up, they love to dark return umbren reaper on me. still having a bit of inconsistency with reaching 3fire to transmute from anguish, but the deck performs well enough without relying on that. power is based on having icaria's influence met so im afraid to tweak it as ive messed with it a lot already. having the 3Fire also helps champion of chaos as well. still trying to find the solution. been mindlessly spamming gauntlet while listening to podcasts. still only 2L, but just had a really close game vs rakano onis.
Updated W/L - 103-2
Have not been consistently hitting influence to play Buh-ton. You can replace that card with any sort of removal you prefer. From Anguish seems to be the Broker card of choice and is a blast to play with.
