This deck exists because:
1)
Hideout Pistol is a good card! (when played on gunslingers, you can decide who you want to kill)
2)
Righteous Intent +
Molten Fist combo is good!
3) Paladins' ramp into
Brel, Solist Apostate is good!
4)
Tavrod, Auric Broker's ability to dig for overpowered minotaurs or weapons to combo with above.
This deck plays around the combo of minotaurs (
Tavrod, Auric Broker able to dig out minotaurs and weapons)
there are:
13 paladins
9 minotaurs
9 gunslingers
8 weapons
the classic
Anointer of the Faithful then
Hojan, Crownbreaker and/or
Copperhall Paladin will ramp for justice, you can bond
Brel, Solist Apostate if lucky, by turn 3 or 4 (her warcry is pretty good)
luckily there are some hybrid units like
Copperhall Paladin is a "minotaur paladin" and we have
Rakano Sheriff as a "Gunslinger Minotaur", making combo easier.
when
Tavrod, Auric Broker dig any gunslingers together with a
Hideout Pistol of +7 attack , that can easily kill any fatty body.
Righteous Intent is fantastic when Kesava is out and there are few lifesteal units / spells for us to combo with:
-the paladins
Anointer of the Faithful,
Hojan, Crownbreaker,
Copperhall Paladin, and even
Vicious Highwayman and
Spiteful Strike can provide lifesteal to combo with Kesava.
After one or two hits of Kesava, Trueheart , that will make
Molten Fist really big and
Display of Ambition can give Overwhelm to allow KO even if enemies are blocking.
Jadehorn allows us to swing
Molten Fist twice.
Reweave is a good card to seek cards that you want, and to trigger Renown effect of Hojan to ramp mana.
Most important card in Market is
Kodosh's Armor, can easily swing the batlle to your favor when you give +5/+5 to
Copperhall Paladin or Kesava Trueheart.
Other cards in Market i rarely summon, except
Shavka's Lute, once in a while.
Jekk, Mercenary Hunter coupled with
Hideout Pistol or
Kaleb's Persuader can be devastating. The down side is that his influence need 3 Fire,
This deck i don't think it is competitive, but it is definitely fun because of the four reasons i mentioned above. (especially the
Righteous Intent +
Molten Fist combo)
Any ideas to improve this deck are definitely welcomed.
