Information

TLDR: This is basically my attempt to get free wins running into Icaria, the Liberator decks. The deck suffers from full on Aggro, where you are too slow to get value out of Crystalline Chalice. You have some ramp with Trail Maker
and Auralian Merchant but in general you'll be too slow to stop the aggro player from trampling all over you.

Rationale
Icaria is everywhere, and deadly is quite effective against her. If you can get a Sandstorm Scarf out, basically chump blocking helps you survive, and just get you a new blocker using card advantage from Chalice until you find your next deadly creature.

How to play
Survive first few turns, while you search for Crystalline Chalice, start gaining card advantages (in general take any trade after you chaliced a creature), win game. Against control heavy decks Amber Ring is a surprisingly strong card. Against Aggro pray for Hailstorm. Basically stalling is what you want to do until they give up because playing against a Chalice deck is a waste of time and boring.

Market
- Infinite Hourglass is a surprisingly strong card against anything scream-ish or Gift of Battle-ish.
- Sandstorm Scarf mitigates hooru flyers and Icaria. Turns all your dumb units into blockers until you find an answer
- Amber Ring Combo's with your Chalice, 1/1 for days, solution to heavy control.
- Crystalline Chalice Kinda important for this deck to work
- Passage of Eons Can be key to breaking board stalls

Candidates for change
- Reliquary Raider Mostly there against Aggro, of for free cards against slow-ish decks
- Passage of Eons Useless in most games
