My entry for the TNT serf format Throwdown.

Plan is to overwhelm the opponent with board and card advantage from buffed and then copied the echo units (Pteriax Hatchling, and Twinbrood Sauropod), either with Twinning Ritual, putting them on back top of the deck with Meditation or Nesting Avisaur while your inspire units Journey Guide, Living Example or Dusk Raider are on the board, or a combination of both.

The dream play is;
Turn 1 Journey Guide
Turn 2 Draw Twinbrood Sauropod (now only costs 4), play Living Example
Turn 3 Draw Dusk Raider, play Dusk raider for 1, Twinning Ritual a Twinbrood Sauropod (Which now costs 3, is a 7/6 with beserk).
Turn 4 Play Nesting Avisaur Putting Twinbrood Sauropod back on top of the deck (reducing it's cost to 1).
Turn 5 Draw Twinbrood Sauropod, Play 2 Beserk 8/7 Twinbrood Sauropod's for 0, and Play Beserk 7/6 Twinbrood Sauropod for 3.

Short of a Board Wipe, that should be more than enough board and card advantage to overwhelm your opponent. Especially with at least 2 more Twinbrood Sauropods in hand, ready to either hit the board, or be further buffed / copied.

Granted, that is the dream scenario, but similar lines are not at all rare. Including playing 3-4 0 or 1 cost 5/4 flying Beserk Pteriax Hatchling's.

Swap Crown for Clock of Stolen Hours?
revmev Edited Eternal Version: 20.11.06
I'm not exactly sure what Clock of Stolen Hours gets you. Most of the time it's just a (worse) Xenan Obelisk. And if you can't win when you start your turn with 12 units in play, is another turn really going to help you? I think Striking Snake Formation would probably be a better card in that situation for breaking board stalls.

Now, if you have a clock, and no crown, then by all means swap it in. However Crown of Possibilities does lead to some crazy turns (giving destiny to the Clockroach you just drew is crazy).

The constraints for the TNT Throwdown were only 1 Legendary and a single copy of 3 rares, otherwise it would run 4 clockroach main, probably 2(or 3) Crowns, actual merchants / smugglers, and move the Thunderstrike Dragon to the market. I tried to make that deck work, but haven't come up with a build I like yet. But I do think there is one out there somewhere.
