Praxis Drarp (Dragon Warp)

I based this list somewhat off of Praxis Dragons, and I made most of my climb last month with that deck and did very well, but felt that the early game cards like Initiate of the Sand, Rakano Outlaw, and Oni Ronin have little-to-no impact after turns 3 and 4. Against aggro, one will probably just block a Pyronight and get no other value. Against midrange, they chump.

This deck works off the theory that warp cards are good in all board states and better than other types of card draw. A Hipshot off the top may remove a unit from the board or just deal 2 to the opponent, without taking a more valuable resource out of your hand and it likens the probability of drawing power or another threat next turn. This can help maintain card advantage while dealing with the opponent's threats. Warp units also help refill the board more quickly after a harsh rule. Waker of Ancients also helps by pulling dragons out a turn earlier, sometimes at a discount thanks to Crimson Firemaw.

This deck is semi-competitive. In silver and gold, I maintained a 70% win rate which fell to 60% in diamond. Favored against Praxis (64% of 11 games) and Tavrod or other armory decks (67% over 9 games), slightly favored over stonescar (67% over 6 games), but not favored over feln (33% over 9 games).

Cards:
Waker of Ancients: I think the meta under-values this card. Praxis Dragons has strength by being able to put down multiple 5-attack units that one's opponents can't block and this makes that happen significantly more efficiently. Best to play on turn 3 if there's no other play in case a Crimson Firemaw is two cards down. Also fine to play just to help plan out one's next turn.

Cinder Yeti: I used to play Avirax Familiar in this slot, and I found the +1 max power relevant enough most of the time, but it didn't provide a relevant body. Yeti also does some of the same job as Praxis Displacer, though not nearly as good. Still, having warp makes this card valuable for this deck.

Hipshot: A poor torch, but a good thing to have on top of the deck turn 3 or later against aggro, but bad to have in hand. 2 or 3 of this is probably correct.

Dawnwalker: This deck doesn't really care about the Dawnwalkers, but they do help keep up the tempo and provide blocks on the ground.

Crimson Firemaw: The 4-cost discount on your next card is very often relevant. In many cases, one could have a warp card on top and want to play it and the discount may make that possible. This can make a Hipshot free and add the extra needed damage to an Obliterate, Purify, or Torch.

Flamestoker: This card gives this deck a favorable match-up against amory, particularly Tavrod. Good to play before the opponent is expected to harsh rule. It makes Hipshot and Heart of the Vault fatal to Tavrods, which is necessary.

Heart of the Vault: Whether we want this or Predatory Carnosaur, I'm not entirely certain of, but it fits the theme of warping, dealing damage, and drawing cards, so it fits nicely thematically, at least.
