Well I wanted to make 15k gold as fast as I could and this is the deck in my list that delivered. I had done this deck a while back and just tweaked it a little now, it's really punishing vs the A.I. as the steal/sacrifice is something the A.I. doesn't really understand that well.
With Desert Alchemist you can take back some of the early, inevitable rush from most of the Gauntlet decks. Then play into a Kerendon Merchant (for the Flamebathe) or draw a Brimstone Altar to pair with many of your other cards such as Ashara or Nihad's Faithful.
Vara does well to remove aegis so you can keep motoring on and Wasteland into a series of Betrays is a win move. If all else fails, work on Scraptank and some nukes to just power it down.
