This deck doesn't look like it should work, but it kinda does lol. More importantly, it's very fun
Obviously the key card here is
Patrice, Outcast Queen, but you have a lot of guest stars, like
Hero of the People.
The win conditions are
Hero of the People plays, lucky draw and ramping into warp-swarming after
Patrice, Outcast Queen, and just general aggro hopefully converting into lategame using
Veena's Masterpiece engine.
Veena's Masterpiece is generally amazing, but it really ties the deck together here, being a 2-cost, providing buffs to small units + card draw to potentially unblock your warp chain. Buffing an
Omnivorous Vorlunk or
Queenguard Elite can often give a guaranteed card draw. All perfect.
At the same time,
Riftfeeder Wasp (big surprise, I know) and
Amber Acolyte help you thin out the power cards in your deck, strengthening your warp chain, while also activating your cylixes.
As for power, cylixes are nice because:
1) With all these odd-cost cards, you get unspent power some turns anyway
2) You have 6 influence requirements, and that's more important than worring about 1 or 2 depleted powers
3) That one card draw can unblock your warp chain in the late game, this effect is not to be underestimated
We don't like
Midnight Reprieve because nightfall gives our opponent draw, while draw is not something we need when we get the warping going.
Have fun!

Petition and 1
Seek Power because 95% of my loses were due to getting power-starved early.
