This is the deck that I used almost exclusively to climb to masters in April 2018. I ended up hitting masters on the 15th and was placed at rank 9 which tells you the winrate this deck had when climbing. This deck has an insane toolbox and can adapt to almost any situation.
*Isn't this just NotoriousGHP's
deck?
This list is only 2 cards off of his list, I took out 1 Assembly Line and 1 Devour and placed in 2 Strategize.
While this may seem strange/slow I found it very helpful.
Need an extra power? Strategize to hopefully draw one
Madness/Combust are unplayable cards for the matchup? Put them on the bottom of your deck
Need to get rid of extra power? Replace it with 2 new cards.
Yes this is a *slightly* slower version but Strategize opens up the toolbox even further
Changes to consider:
Ripknife Assassin > Quarry - personally I enjoy looking for a combo piece or finding extra needed power but some people enjoy having a solid body in it's place. No wrong choice here
Not running 4 Dark Return - Dark Return requires setup (for lack of a better term) in order to be optimal and while this deck has potent threats I'd rather run more utility cards.
Change of the power base - With the amount of depleted power this deck runs odds are you'll be playing from behind (another reason I'm not a big fan of Ripknife Assassin). It might be worth it to adjust the powerbase to allow more on-curve plays
And always pray that you don't go against Hooru Midrange
I would love to hear more about what decks you feel are very easy and which you hate seeing, apparently Hooru (and why). Thanks
The manabase isn't that bad; the amethyst waystones could go 2 for 2 with diplomatic seal.
