Information

Trying out clockroach stuff with pretty much every single inspire card in Elysian because value. Draw Clockroach many times to make them extremely large and loaded with skills (also maybe they're free with Journey Guide).

Merchants are good.

I figure you probably don't want many of the inspire effects which only work once, but they're still pretty good as 2 ofs. Turns out endurance and flying are ok skills, who knew?

ok have been playing this deck basically a week straight with one swap i took out perma frost and put in 2 polymorph and 2 rain of frogs. i find it way better. kept running into endurance decks. thats just my take on this deck otherwise i love it
chaostehjace Eternal Version: 1.36
I just started messing around with Crown and Market as well, putting a copy into the market to draw later has worked out pretty well, I want to test some bounce effects for the merchants just to keep the cycle going. I am going to try some ideas from your list. I would like to see the guy that inspires aegis in the list just to get through swarms of removal, but outvalue-ing some decks is easy with White Blue.
Ninjacan Eternal Version: 1.36
I think you want 1 twinbrood sauropod in the market. I'm not 100% sure you want clockroach in there since while it's there it doesn't get buffed by the other roaches you play. I definitely think 1 sauropod needs to be there though
Catduit Eternal Version: 1.36
I'll give Twinbrood Sauropod a shot, but overall I just like Clockroach a lot more, and I really like having it in the market to grab just for that extra bit of consistency. I only ever grab it if I need a Clockroach to start things going.
Ninjacan Eternal Version: 1.36
That's a good point. Just from my experience playing crown, twinbrood is kinda an mvp, but it's clunky and takes time to set up, being able to have it on the side and grab it when it's convenient seems kinda awesome. And that makes sense for the roach, you may be right. Thanks for posting the list btw, haven't had time to try it out yet, but it's favorited 👌
EJBLanky Eternal Version: 1.36
Don't play Crown of Possibilities maindeck, it's good as a one of in the market, but it's poor when you can reliably get better inspirations like Alhed. Play one Cirso in the market too.
Ninjacan Eternal Version: 1.36
Have you played a crown deck before? You want multiple crowns in play, there are.. i think 13 or 14 battle skills, you don't want just like 1 skill, the whole point is to have like 8 skills.

Deadly overwhelm quickdraw killer double damage aegis revenge unblockable. That is the whole point of crown decks and why you play 4 crown 4 dancer

Ninjacan Edited Eternal Version: 1.36
Well, i just listed the 8 best ones. There's also flying, reckless, berserk, lifesteal, charge, endurance, warcry. So 15 unless I'm forgetting something

Echo and bond i think you van get off crown as well. Oh and destiny. 18

Ambush, 19.
IanHirst Eternal Version: 1.36
You can in fact get Bond off Crown. It's not great, but when you have a bunch of roaches out that are high power, you can just dump your hand. And to the earlier question, you most certainly play all four Crowns in the maindeck. As well as the roaches, I'm intrigued as to why you have one in the market. Does it still get the buff, is it still in your deck? If it doesn't count as being in the deck, I probably would just put all four in the main. I haven't tried a list like this (updated roaches), I play dark roaches/Elysian roaches, but I'll give this one a shot. I'm especially excited for the Crown Dancer, which I might have to craft.
EJBLanky Eternal Version: 1.36
So far Crown loses me too much tempo whereas dancer can be made much cheaper, possibly given aegis if you use that inspire, and provides a flying body. I've found having a reliable crown in the market makes for frequent situations where both are in play. YMMV though, I just find I get run over more often if I am trying for the big crown plays and outside of revenge synergy I don't think the long term payoff is all that.
SilentNSly Edited Eternal Version: 1.36
Very interesting deck!

Just curious why you do not play Twinning Ritual in your deck. It gives yet more skills with Crown of Possibilities or Breeze Dancer in play.

Does playing all those Inspire units make your deck weak to board wipes (e.g. Harsh Rule)?
Catduit Eternal Version: 1.36
Basically what ninjacan said, also I find that you can just play around harsh rule pretty easily, you make so many clockroaches that you only have to play a few at a time to present lethal or at least get you in a state where lethal is easily achievable, and you can just hold the rest of the roaches in hand for backup. I have considered running 1-2 of Spiritward Shaman though, might be alright.
Ninjacan Eternal Version: 1.36
Looks like meditation has replaced twinning ritual, it also protects against wrath (slightly) as well
