Keep the night going and use lifegain to outlast other decks while drawing all the fun keywords that crown can give you.
Nightfall will pressure your opponents health and dig for your game wining relic at once, while keeping you alive.
Lunar Magus is the best boi, together with nocturnal observer they are your main carddraw in the early game but magus will also keep your health up against most agressive decks.
Trail Maker binds the deck together, easily allowing you to play with three factions, and if you play him on turn two you can usually get the influence and power right for a Rindra on turn 3.
Extract, andazindel and venom rider are recent aditions to test out and adapt to some of the decks I was facing, venom rider is the most questionable one for now.
Azindel works incredibly well with piercing grief and extra mana justifies playing crown or some of the bigger cards even while on the defence.
