The ShiftstonedEternal Power Calculator is a deck-building tool that visualizes your odds of drawing enough Influence and Power based specifically on the cards found in your deck.
Potent relics can be drawn with 'Display of Knowledge' late game once the Power and Influence requirements have been met. Until then, you store them in your Market or Strategize (or Scout) them away until needed.
The six extra cards are four situational Relics and two Power cards. Since you can draw the Relics at will with Display of Knowledge, there is very little downside to including them. A costly or unplayable Relic can be stored in the Market for later use. It can also be Scouted or otherwise moved to the bottom of the deck using Strategize, and then you can get it back later when the situation calls for it. Display of Knowledge has other uses of course, but in this deck it functions mostly as a 3-cost Celestial Omen for specific answers.
Sry, but Abeneezer and toast are right. Not downing the deck builder, but what if you needed that smuggler or display, and you drew a janky ass madness instead?
It really is deck building 101.
Still I'd like to entertain constructing this deck when the correct six cards get cut, as I like a strong toolbox build and have yet to see a good one in Eternal. This particular new display makes this interesting.
It's an interesting deck but Abeneezer is right, winning record or no. Unless every single card in the deck is necessary for it to function properly, the extra cards dilute it and the 6 worst should be cut. Deckbuilding 101. The fact that it won with 81 cards just means it could win even more often with the right 75. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to cut Sudden Schism, Madness and/or Devour and adding a few less cute but more reliable cards.
A casual tournament. A tournament very well known to host extreme jank. It's like saying you won a tournament with your friends. Did you win a tournament? Yes. Does it say anything about your deck? No.
Go look at the decklists in the tournament and tell me with a straight face that those are meta decks.
Although I did go undefeated in this tournament (6-0), it is a small sample size and a Casual event not known for being especially competitive. I'm using the same list on ladder around ~1200 in Masters and have a 60% win rate over 38 games. It is still early to tell how viable this will be in the long run, but the results are good so far and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
