Information

Saw people playing Skycrag Sling decks earlier today, decided to brew something bigger & better by adding Time.

Went 14-4 from Diamond 2 to Masters, then went 28-13 to hit Rank-1.

The early version of this list wasn't running a market and I don't even really like having a market in this, but I needed to start running Transpose to protect Sling since I started running into a bunch of mirrors/relic hate. Earlier versions I was running Strange Gladiator in that Transpose slot instead. It buffs Titan to 6-attack and Siege Breaker to 6 health, buffs Guardian and Cirso to 7-health so they don't die in the mirror match, while also having the benefit of using it for relic hate.

The list could probably use some more tuning, but it feels pretty solid currently.

what about From Elements ?
biologynut99 Eternal Version: 20.11.06
Ila and MIzo goes really well here, because the first 6 damage means it only needs one swing to duplicate itself.
Euler007 Eternal Version: 20.11.06
This is an expedition deck, and that card is not legal.
Osciillate Edited Eternal Version: 20.11.06
With all of the slings i'd say cirso should be subbed out

Another pushed overpowered garbage card from DWD, same as every new set in the last year+. Lots of other cool new cards like Markos, but no one can use him because this deck kills him in one effect. The entire ladder is playing it, which is disapponting, the originality in the already tiny Eternal playerbase is just dead at this point. There isn't a counter deck to this besides getting lucky with a fast mono fire or skycraggro start. A legit counter deck can't even kill the relic consistently because they have 4 copies and there are Negate effects in some builds and fast face aegis in all builds, can't transform the relic, Turn to Seed can't hit units, so you have to individually have a kill spell for every single unit, mass removal doesn't work they will just keep one unit out drawing a million cards every turn. Can't dare play even one unit because you'll get hit with ridiculous overwhelm face damage. There's not a single weakness or downside, it's worse than Endra decks were, great game design from DWD as usual lately. It beats other aggro midrange decks, it beats all control decks because it outdraws your control deck just doing nothing. I tried a list and it was nothing but unsuspenseful coinflip mirror matches. Definitely think it's time to quit this game.

What would be best replacement for Touvon if you don't have him?
Secretweaver Eternal Version: 20.11.04
I don't think there's really a good replacement for Touvon. You could try Sapphire Dragon Sewer Kudzu Thundering Kerasaur Hermit Gardener or Steelbound Dragon . Either that or just remove Touvon and add in some kind of removal or draw cards.
biologynut99 Eternal Version: 20.11.06
It seems that ila and mizo works well, the 6 damage initial blast means only one attack is needed to copy the units!
Euler007 Eternal Version: 20.11.06
This is an expedition deck, and that card is not legal.

Maybe its a dumb question, but would lurking raptors be a good addition on this deck?
Secretweaver Edited Eternal Version: 20.11.04
Lurking Raptors might be alright if you also run something that can give it Killer. Except it doesn't have Overwhelm so you miss out on that sweet, sweet Overwhelmed damage against units that have less than 6 health. Not to mention it can't attack the enemy player or block.
OneAntic Edited Eternal Version: 20.11.04
This IS a really solid list and I've run into it a bunch on ladder recently, but I'm sure there must be a better alternative to frostkin for the market. Maybe one of the 4-drops that work with sling can go in that spot to make room for Gladiators back in the maindeck? Also congrats on rank 1!
biologynut99 Eternal Version: 20.11.06
I dropped the whole 4 cost market all together and put things like crystallize, gnash (the air destroyer), zal chi, sodi spellshaper, etc, in there.
Sedit Eternal Version: 20.11.04
What do you think about a copy of Turn to Seed instead of frostskin since it is a 4 drop now.
Secretweaver Eternal Version: 20.11.04
Definitely something I will try when I make my way back to Expedition later in the season. Frostkin is just in there as a placeholder because I didn't know what else to add. Thanks for the feedback!
