Information

Here's my deck idea for the upcoming event based on a couple of ideas. The central one is scream aggro and recursion - hopefully it works!

Rindra's Choice: a 1 cost slay/unseal for the purposes of this event. Not to say there won't be single faction cards, but I imagine there will be less than normal. Broken.

Haunting Scream: Can now bring back Champion of Cunning, or perhaps even Cirso if you choose to include him.

Twilight Raptor: 0 cost 2/2/ flyer - sounds pretty awesome to me.

Auralian Cargo - a 0 cost seek power for this event. Broken.

-----

Things I'm unsure of: Do I need trail maker (or do I need more of him? Am I going too far out of the way to have almost all multi-faction cards? Should I have dark return/mirror image in main deck (for screaming purposes)? Should I have had Vara's choice in here?

Anyway, this is my idea for the event. Comments are welcome and appreciated, especially before the event. Feel free to use this or any part of this, so long as you have fun with it.

Interesting idea. Not sure I care for the raptors even at 0 cost.Maybe if they were dinos instead since that would synergize with the card that +1s dinos. Also based on the relic finder aspect of the Display I think I'd want at least 1-2 relics to fetch for flexibility's sake. In addition the deck seems rather light on removal which means you are all in on your attempt to win through your ops creatures (the flying/charge given by scream should help a bit but doesn't seem like enough to me.)

Also with lower costs crests could be even more useful since you don't have to worry as much about having ready power in the early turns (since everything is cheaper.) In general the market looks like it needs work. But nice job overall on the deck idea.

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking of rindra's choice, display, and feeding time as removal, but perhaps banish out of the market would be better? Keeping in theme with an aggros haunting scream deck, what would you recommend? Should I go for more 4-cost creatures like Cirso will be instead of the raptors?
WinterWolf1297 Eternal Version: 1.42.3
Feedng Time is essential I think, (Even though it feels overcosted when it hits something your op needs it feels good.) And Rindra's Choice is a given in such a format. Ive been trying out Cirso and Nesteds (to simulate the discount) because its a neat trick to Scream a dead Cirso and Cirso is such a beating that it has a huge impact on the game (often game over unless op has good removal *now*) but I don't know about over crowding that slot. Just because we're getting a discount doesn't mean we should ignore curves. AND I will say a turn 1 2/2 flier isn't all that bad. It just feels like a not very good card and contributes nothing late game. You definitely don't want to be in top deck mode and worry about drawing it. My main advice is try your build out and have some tweaks in place in your collection for a retry (its a mere 3k gold so how bad could it be?) in case it doesn't work out. Have you run it through a gauntlet? I did on mine and it took quite a few tries at Master to beat the final boss (granted the random aspect of that can make any deck falter.) Ill share my version in a bit.

Did not fare that well with any of my decks (4/3 was my best) but for some reason this one did the worst (1/3) if the cut off wasn't the top 3 runs I might have played some more.

Thanks for all the thoughts! I'll make some tweaks and run it through the gauntlet a few times
