Information

Use Parul's Choice to fetch Restrained Action , Permafrost , or Avigraft depending on your situation. There is a lot going on in this deck as far as win cons. Try to maintain your face aegis to make Bring to Justice valuable. Avigraft is a must for Vara, Vengeance-Seeker , as she goes directly against what we are trying to do here, but I have won many games without face aegis. We are not playing any 1-drops for Restrained Action , but Embargo Officer is a consideration... however, using her in the past has hurt me by keeping me out of my own market (open to suggestions). Between the heavy amounts of killer, removal, and aegis, this deck is quite a pain for some opponents to stop. The game plan here is to make it into the mid game and grab our big toys from the market. I've been considering playing a 1-of Scourge of Frosthome in market, but I'm not convinced the deck needs the extra win con. Once you drop a Restrained Action it's basically game over if they don't remove it. Vanquisher's Blade is in the market due it being extra removal if needed, but also to prevent void manipulation (Reanimator). Backlash seems like a possible market option, but not sure what I would replace in the market to make room. Still debating on the market choices. I've spent quite a lot of time putting thought into the deck and would greatly appreciate any feedback from the community as to how to improve it. Thanks for taking the time to check out the list and hope your games are as fun as mine have been! Much love. ~echo

ZE1TGEIST Eternal Version: 20.08.06
Interesting deck!

I haven't used the card Restrained Action myself, but I saw an opponent skipping over numbers. It still ticks up. So technically I don't think you have to have a 1-drop. If you're determined to get it though, what about Trickshot Ruffian? The plunder 1-drops would be ok too. Better if you end up actually drawing them.

You mentioned the 5th market spot. I know what you mean. But Harsh Rule and Knife are cards you probably only grab with Rime Conclave Smuggler. So Harsh Rule is fine for that maybe. Same would apply if you threw in a counterspell to grab with the smuggler. Not something you'd Broker.

Thinking about the anti-relic hate. What about transpose? 1-cost instant Aegis. It also takes opponent's aegis. If you wanted to go all in with the idea, you could remove all 4 broker from the deck, then throw 2-3 transpose in. You'd still keep the Rime Smugglers probably. Then market might be something like:

Wasteland Broker
Long Live the Queen/Rejection
Svetya, Lightbringer
Svetya, Merciful Orene
Quicksilver Mirror

I dunno what you'd do with Sediti though. There are lots of great 4 drop Good I cards though. Rain of frogs, Bam, Citywide Ban, Etc.

Also, you'd only be abke to Broker in 1 card that way. So maybe just add a couple Transpose and one 4 cost card? I dunno.

Just an idea. I like the deck even without the changes I suggested. Just something to think about maybe.

Ruffian was actually my first pick for a 1-drop. Sadly, the unit plays at the end of the opponents turn so the buff comes and goes by the time its your turn and so it's not as useful as I would have hoped. I'm still putting a lot of time into this deck as I feel like it has a lot of potential and also has a nice "toolbox" feel when it comes to Parul's and the curses. Transpose is something I tried at the very beginning, but it felt unimpactful when played and made the market feel somewhat limiting despite the face aegis being a huge plus for the deck. I knew going into it that I wanted heavy market access and the 4x of Broker really lets you slam the GAS right into the top of the pile. Brokering Sediti to setup for ez warps always feels nice and the deck benefits heavily from card draw, even moreso than other decks as the deck is somewhat "combo'ish". I also tried out Rost in the maindeck back when I was trying to hit heavy primal influence and bring helio draws up, but Ive since cut that out to focus more on hitting the justice influence and playing more justice units instead, as 8 drop Svetya really kicks things into overdrive. Could possibly cut Parul's down to two copies, remove ghostblade outcast, and cut jotun feast-caller down to 2 copies to make 3 open spots for some other ideas. Im still up in the air with some of these choices and most likely wont be able to get a good feel for its weak spots until I've played more games with it. Ive been super impressed with champion of order, surprisingly, and was considering running 2-3 copies. The only problem is that if you havent hit the 5/5 influence requirement its basically dead weight. You also kind of want to wait til you can hold up a bubble shield for him or get the aegis on him from 8 drop svetya. I really appreciate the suggestions and I definitely think transpose is still a viable option, but would need some more play testing of 4cost market to make sure its helping the deck and not holding it back. If you're playing the deck please let me know how its been performing for you and/or if you have any questions about my card choices. If there are any cards you feel are weak and would be better replaced with something else, Id def be down to give it a try. Feel free to add me in-game if you want to help refine the list or just want to dork out about brewing in general. I spend more time trying to come up with unique decks than I do actually playing the game itself. echolocations+1643. Cheers my dude. ~echo

Made a few changes to the decklist in preparation for Helio nerf. I was having trouble hitting the primal influence to make her valuable as well as hitting the influence to bring Sediti and early justice influence units online. Wisdom of elders + Jotun feast-caller seem more consistent options for card draw and lets us relax on our primal influence power base. Would appreciate any feedback.

I forget your username on the Eternal game itself. Do you still play? I just played this player named Echo1, thought it was you.

I only play on console, so I can't really chat which sux.

Anyway, I was cursed during this month's Expedition grind. Could not get to Platnium for the life of me. I kept getting to the very edge (99 on gold 1) and then lpsing so badly all the way back to the beginning of gold 2. Then again at the edge I finally for Platnium against Echo1 guy. Thoight it was very funny if that was you.
