Information

One of my favorite cards so far this set has been Kaleb's Persuader. The flavor is on point and it is great at pushing damage and increasing power in board stall situations, both of which allow Skycrag to get those final few points of damage that it sometimes has trouble getting.

The deck has been great so far. A lot of it is standard Skycrag/Aggro fare, but I'd like to talk about some of the newer additions.

Oni Patrol - Cheap but great aggro stats. Can/Should be played on 1 if nothing else is available, but usually you can play something else and this turn 2 or 3.

Impatient Pyromage - Card draw. If you are worried about getting power, don't play power before this as you might well get a power card to be able to play. Has a high chance of turning a 1 cost something into a free card. Great value.

Borderlands Waykeeper - Perhaps it's just me, but I always find this card to be a sleeper. It staves off early aggro, while being able to go over the head of the opponent later on. The aegis matters in a deck like mine where the main wincons are weapons (K's Persuader / Clutch of Talons).

Smuggler / Merchant - This could be a different mix of 6, I found 8 to be too slow, while 4 was not enough. More smugglers pushes burn damage and chances to wreck aggro via Torrential Downpour for 2. Jennev Merchant is better against control.

Vadius + Persuader - Even if they chump block you are getting so much value it hardly matters.

Clutch of Talons - Once you hit 6 power, placing this on an aegis unit will usually close out the game.

Fend Off and Burn Them All - These are more of flex spots in the market. I'm grabbed Fend Off a couple times to good effect to push some final damage. Burn Them All used to be Molot & Nakova, but I never drew it. The other 3 market options have been drawn more often. Fend Off could be Frost Wave. Burn Them All could also be Howling Peak, or even some other genius option I haven't thought of yet (Hmm, Savagery?). For further testing.

Either way, I finally found a new deck that has been consistently working, so I wanted to share it around. Hope you have fun!
