Description
A build around deck with Smuggler's Toll and Dichro's Ruin being the main cards. Totally not a competitive deck, but fun for sure.

Game Plan
Draw into abbyss with amount of card draw and cycle you have, deal damage in a process with Dichro's Ruin and hit yourself with Vows and Snowballs to win the game with Smuggler's Toll triggers.

Cards & Reasoning
- Dusk Raider: nightfall trigger as well as a possible free damage for our Midnight Trapper and Impending Doom.
- Midnight Trapper: big buff for Pressing Darkness mainly and other damaging spells as well.

- Dichro's Ruin: protection from Charge, Sling of the Chi and many more aggressive triggers. One of our win conditions and sustain.
- Smuggler's Toll: main win plan, hit that turn 4 and get with a lot of damage turn 5. Hope you can live to tell the tale.

- Harbinger's Bite: face damage, sustain, nightfall. Everything we want. Play it turn 1 unless you have Reflection.
- Reflection: we draw, they draw and repeat for free, except we have Dichro's Ruin and they suffer.
- Trick Throw: face damage, removal and Snowball for our face later on.
- Furious Accusation: everything we want, face damage to us and drawing cards or damage to opponent and more damage for opponent from Dichro's Ruin.
- Pressing Darkness: mass removal and face damage, make note that with Midnight Trapper it's a 9 health gained.
- Ancient Agreement: strict upgrade over Read the Stars. Almost the same effect, but provides crowd control.
- Skullmarket Delivery: market access, make note that most important card in market is Shadowsea Rising, this will damage our opponent and more importantly it will damage us and as a result will deal even more damage to opponent with Smuggler's Toll.
- Sleight of Hand: draw and juicy Snowballs for our face.

Market
- Squash Belief: nice way to punish our enemy with our draws.
- Feeding Time: just a removal for some pesky units.
- Display of Will: overall flexible reactive card, but mostly for relic/site removal.
- Shadowsea Rising: self damaging relic that doubles (in most cases) Smuggler's Toll triggers.
- Impending Doom: plan B with Dusk Raider on the board as well as additional Smuggler's Toll trigger.

Trapper + Furious Accusation is some serious damage. This looks ridiculous, Hexxen. It's Feln burn. Nice work!
Hexxen Eternal Version: 23.05.24
Thanks! Kinda burn.

Neat deck! Have you got any idea on what upgrades you can do (not budget version)?
Hexxen Eternal Version: 23.03.22
I don't see any cards in Legendary rarity to include in this deck that draw/deal damage to us with upside or deal damage to opponent. If you have something in mind, please share.

I played with it around a bit, and since you asked, here's how I modified it. Having 4 cost cards that do nothing in the main deck looked a bit clunky, and those many vows in the powerbase didn't really feel super consistent, considering we have cards that require double p and s. So since toll is 4 cost I thought about putting it in the market and use transpose, that along with other frenzy activators works with feln adept quite well. They probably are drastic changes, but idk, here's the list nonetheless

You could probably use The Big Wheel instead of Waxing Moon, but I haven't tested enough so Idk for now.

Multiple Tolls and Dichro's Chains is the main idea of the deck. Vows are mainly for self damage and with cantrips in deck, power were never a problem.
