A brew that worked well. (Masters)

A 'Test' deck that went surprisingly fast to Diamond III.
I thought i should try creating a deck with some new Defiance cards that i got from a few packs and Drafts, and well, it went really good so far.Quite easily as well.

Notice* Kemmo and Siege Breaker weren't in the first brew , i just now crafter them to taste them in high ranks, so you can easily replace them with 1 more card of the 1-2 Power cost units that are already in the deck and add one more Hidden Road Smuggler.

The general idea is to get a starting hand with 3 colour powers or at least 2 and some 1-2 + 1 spell to play on the next rounds.

Try to get Softfoot or Hojan as a 1-2-3 round play and try to keep spells just for the right moment. For example, i don't usually use a lot on Softfoot or anything, unless i need a draw really badly. (i have won some games with Hojan on the board, in 2-3 rounds)People usually get scared of him and try to use spells to kill him, which is awesome ofcourse and it is just a 1-drop, and, i counter it when i need to with a Devour. So, 3 cards off 1-drop card and a spell wasted by your opponent.

The general idea is to be the Value playa and make the oppoent use his cards while you counter it by drawing yours and outsourcing.Don't get frightened by the shiny legendaries in the Market, i rarely use them and i haven't used Icaria more than 2-3 times in about 20 games. So feel free to make some choices that are better for your playstyle.

The only card i wouldn't change in the Market is Righteous Fury, which is a key card when losing many times and for great, unexpected finishing blows.

The deck contains more than 10 removals (and not counting Rizahn) so it has a lot of things to play with and around. it get's much better and fun when you're in midgame and have the power to use your legendaries effectively.

*Also keep in mind that i have Vara's Favor, Rhysta and the and last but not least, Hojan, for their drawing abilities but i have none to draw Fire Powers, so keep in mind that you'll have to prioritize sometimes for Red Faction a bit more than the rest. (depending on the situation and your hand ofcourse)

It is a fun deck but i can't say how difficult it is to play, i for sure love it so far.
Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as i did.
