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.
Been trying to make a similar deck work for awhile now. Wondering, what's Eloz elite for? Is it really worth the slot to save power on cast into shadow/ cruelty without any other activators? Works with the emblems too I suppose but you also only have the 4. Am I missing something? Paruls choice is also wierd in market, presuming you are using it to tutor curses.
I'm no expert though. Just wondering how they work for you. I feel like having to invest a merchant and 2 power into tutoring is rough and I would rather maindeck paruls (hence why I ask about Eloz)
Elite has been good. It's mostly about the combo with the site -- turn 2 elite, turn 3 site + kill something can really shut down fast starts from the opponent. 1/4 blocker for your site does really well protecting it (this is also the reason I prefer the feln merchant over the other two options).
You don't have to play elite out on turn 2 if you're not against a fast deck -- doing so could just expose it to removal. Waiting until 5 power, playing elite + cast into shadow kills two things out of nowhere.
Parul's choice is mainly for finding a Kodosh Sees All in the late game, when you should have things under control, so the time it takes isn't too bad.
I've done very well with the deck in expedition so far, 17-3. It's no proof of anything though. If you think something's better, give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
That's true! I am going to try it and see how things go. I was less minions more curses overall and paruls was nice as a toolbox card but I like your more proactive approach.
