Aggressive Praxis centered around Stranger synergy for cheap* early pressure and the "late" game power of Auralian Supplier, Jekk, Mercenary Hunter, and Tota Pioneer.
*Cheap as in both mana cost and ease of access to these cards in your collection.
Obliterate serves as a finisher or big obstacle remover, but it could be replaced with a Thunder of Wings.
If you have it, Phoenix Stone is a great addition to the market.
Pyre Elemental is another great, cheap option for the market.
Varret, Hero-in-Training is another excellent card for this deck, if you have it.
Praxis Stranger is a worse but cheap consideration.
Borderlands Lookout is another good one drop that you could include.
Tattoo Dragon could also be swapped in if you are looking to go a bit higher on the curve and/or replace some missing cards.
Akko, Inspired Artist and Ghar, Master Sandmage are excellent for the 1 drop slots if you have them.. I don't.
I should probably just stop being cheap and craft the cards I'm missing.. but.. this current list is good enough and I'm not competing in tournaments or anything lol.
Point is, you don't need to have an exact deck list to do something like climb to Masters rank, you just need to understand a deck's goals, strengths, and make appropriate substitutions when/where needed. Though you can't really efficiently replace cards like Jekk, Supplier, or Milo. So unfortunately having some expansions is required. Obviously you can make some aggro lists without those cards, but they add a lot of power to this deck.
If you would like to see a video on the deck, here you go:
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.
Yeah when learning a new game like this I always find it helpful to find deck lists that offer suggestions for substitutes if you don't have all the cards, so I wanted to make this list useful for people that might have fewer cards, or even more cards, than me in their collection.
Thanks for the feedback. :)
Hey, yeah Kazuo is pretty much just for a 2/1 body as a 1 drop, and his ultimate gives you cards which is useful in itself and can synergize with Pioneer. He's basically just the best 1 drop I have access to for the slot, but he's not necessarily vital if you want to replace him in the deck with something else like an Oni Patrol or even a 2 drop like Rakano Outlaw.

The list looks great!
Thanks for the feedback. :)
Just for his ultimate? Is it worth it?
