Information

Just ran this list through D3 up to Masters. With a 12 winstreak.

The list is pretty straight forward. You want an opener with either Initiate of the Sands, Teacher of Humility, or Moonstone Vanguard. And then you just drop big guys and put pressure on.

Gameplans?

Aggro: our units are bigger and more resilient. So ramp up and drop your load. Watch for the response window for them when they are at 1 power so you can get an idea if they have Torch or Finest Hour and play accordingly.

Midrange. Basically the same plan as above. But be wary of 2 for 1's. And the best line of play when you have them low-ish. Bait them to expend their power to clear the board, but have already got The Praxis Arcanum out of the market, with any of the non-charge units in hand. Catches them unaware everytime.

Control: They need to out value you. Do not let them. Just assume they have Harsh Rule play like they do. Do not flood the board, make them deal with 2 units, before you deploy more. The Praxis Arcanum is a great card against them if you can give Vanguard charge. Since a lot of our units have charge or they draw a card as long as we do not get greedy we can usually out value them.

This is Team Crescendo,
Good Luck!

Don’t have any xo’s what can I replace with and also can amaran stinger work in place of criva
JTJag Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Would you replace Criva with Cykalis if you had 4-of? Or do you honestly think she's that good in topdeck situations and against Control?
Sweaty_Wizard Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
I really think she is that good. She generates an army that gets buffed by Obelisk and can attack out of nowhere. If I get 1 more Cykalis I will do a 3/3 split.
JTJag Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
I presume Cykalis is outright better if you replace the maindeck obelisks with Arcanums?
Sweaty_Wizard Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Not really. Cykalis and criva don't get any real benefit from Arcanum.
HamAndSwiss Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
I find myself wanting the praxis arcanum on 4 to curve into moonstone and other fatties rather than having to fetch it from the market. How do you feel about putting 2x in maindeck over the obelisk? I find myself not wanting obelisk fairly often
Sweaty_Wizard Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
That sounds great. I just had the one arcanum. But I like that way more. But I would keep one obelisk in the market as well as the Arcanum.
HamAndSwiss Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
I put in passage because relic hate seems important but i could certainly see the 3x. Just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing some big benefit to the obelisks, but this deck rarely seems to have more than 2 units on board, and generally wants to close before turn 8 anyways.
Sweaty_Wizard Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
That's true. Most of my games ended by turn 10 at the latest. Usually around turn 7-9

Fun town right here
Shackleton Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Dude, this is a great deck, I love it. Great name, too. Crimson Sand. If it was a movie, it would be an epic adventure film :)
Duffmani Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Anything sweaty I'm down for, good work!
Sweaty_Wizard Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161

umm...no SST?
Sweaty_Wizard Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
No, I valued the draw from Vanguard and Xo more than I cared for the 5/6 body. If you're seeing a lot of flyers, either put scarf in the market or switch out Xo and 1 vanguard for the SST
