Information

This is a pretty fun deck based around sacrifice mechanics, with spicy cards such as Bait and Failed Reflection , I also added Vara, Vengeance-Seeker because it's a generally good card that enables your Madness on minions with aegis, plus the lifesteal helps.

I'd call it budget if it wasn't for the campaign requirements, but if you got Jekk's bounty for free from the giveaway and hoarded you cash to get Into shadow you could probably call it Budget, I won't, you can.

For what I've seen Surgeon's Saw is a must, since the deck lacks lifesteal, and in many cases the Dark return can give you a lot of versatility. Grenadin Drone is also necesssary since your tools against rakano aggro are limited and you need some chump blockers to get to turn 5 and put a Bait on the board, or alternatively it can serve as something to sacrifice. Direwood Prowler is debatable, given how it's expensive card draw, but I'm not really sure what to put instead, and ultimately the win condition is to either fill the board with dragons until the opponent cant handle it anymore or make a gigantic Failed Reflection that gives your opponent an aneurism after witnessing all the numbers that exist after 10.*

I'm looking for feedback so please feel free to ask questions, and if you by any chance happen to actually play this abomination of a deck please do tell me about it.

Also, is this control? Is this midrange?

Pd: I almost forgot, I used to run 2 copies of Burglarize and Shakedown, I also though to put some primal to add Black-Sky Harbinger, some card draw, maybe some board clears just to spite Azindel, Revealed decks, but ultimately I don't have enough dust, feel free to experiment.

This is a great deck and really fun to play. I would categorize it more as a midrange deck, but it can generate a lot of value if needed. I have added 2 Brimstone Altars and 2 Warband Chieftains to replace Vara. Brimstones are in my opinion a great addition to this deck.
MrSassySausage Edited Eternal Version: 1.40
Yeah brimstones are amazing at providing burn and giving you a reliable mechanism to sacrifice minions when you only have tokens, I didn't have any but after facing a similar deck to mine with them I can see how they make a great addition, I think The chieftains are good too, giving your flying units more power is always a good plan., about Vara I'd say you could just forego it in favour of more surgeon's saws and more removal, the good think she has is that she prevents aegis which can be very useful to make sure your madness can land more easily, but generally she ends up being both removal and sustain, so I'd probably swap her for that.
If else you can maybe put some discard cards similar to shakedown to maybe (with some luck) discard either win conditions from combo/value decks or take away some early minions from aggro decks, if else you could also slot in some suffocates if you feel that tempo always runs you down Shadowlands Guide can also be an amazing addition, so can be Wingbrewer but unfortunately I have none of the two, if you do they are also a good choice.
You can also add a market with Bait and some removal which will give you both a bit more reliability and flexibility, but then again I don't really have any merchants, if you do I think it'd generally benefit the deck, you should probably put: Bait, Grenadin Drone or Assembly Line, Combust, Madness and Brimstone Altar, maybe switch the madness for a Deathstrike or Annihilate.

Thank you for the advice! This deck started for me as a quick and cheap way to complete shadow quests but after a few games I like it more and more. Now I am running it in ranked with great results.

How would you replace Vara, Vengeance-Seeker in this deck? Is it possible? I don't have the campaign yet...
