Information

This deck is a poor implementation of a bad idea.

Renown cards that are based on the cost of the card that triggered it use the total cost of the spell including amplify (it does not work this way for weapons with neither Spellcraft nor Clutch of Talons' amplify being included). This is best abused by cards that can target multiple units (Bottoms Up and Mighty Strikes) because if you have 3 Glacier Shapers on the board you can use one cast of Bottoms Up to trigger all of them. More importantly this allows you to hit obscene power amounts of power with Ruckus Rouser and then cash in that power to win the game with Clutch of Talons, Brilliant Idea, Shingane Firebrand, or with enough power you can kill your opponent directly with Xo of the Endless Hoard's ultimate. Quicksilver Mirror allows you to deploy multiple renown cards without triggering them - this is a ridiculous idea, but much of the success of the deck is already predicated on your opponent not doing anything so it's not a problem.

Yushkov, the Usurper is included because the single turn of ramp can be sufficient to start a Ruckus Rouser chain or pull off a giant Brilliant Idea or Clutch of Talons with a Dune Painter on the field.

Mirror Image is an amazing Renown trigger in general - if you've never tried it with Hojan I highly recommend it.

I like the outline of what you have so far. Can you go into more detail on the plan here? Rabble Rouser is sweet and I see you want to generate 6-8 mana off of him. End goal is draw cards/ play dragon?

Why Glacial Shaper, Downpour, or Bottoms Up?

My apologies for not explaining the combo, I have updated the description. You really want to be generating 10+ power off your Rousers. Downpour is included because after filling the deck with Amplify synergy cards and 4x Brilliant Ideas I needed to include something so that I could pretend I could stave off aggro. Mirror imaging Howling Peak Smuggler can make it very effective and the 1 damage is sufficient for a variety of very threatening units (Initiate, Trail Maker, Hojan).
