Information

So, Chalice is kinda good again. Carried me through Diamond to my first Masters.

Do the Chalice thing, and outlast them.

MAIN DECK
Ephemeral Wisp is the star here. Remember, it keeps the buffs from Chalice, so you now have infinite 4/5's! (Unless you somehow run out of Power cards.)

Golem Press is bonkers, but more than one is useless, so it's just a 1 of. We draw a TON of cards, so just keep drawing til you get it. 4 Power for a "3/3 Double Damage, Summon: Draw a card." unit seems good.

Jennev Merchant got buffed recently, and that makes Chalice happy.

Xulta Convoy is great, you get to Chalice the dudes, and block with them right off the bat.

MARKET
Equivocate deals with pesky threats that need to go away. Just be careful about using it on 7+ drops, as pretty much every card they might become is just as bad, or worse.

Disjunction: Avigraft got you down? Maybe Martyr's Chains is being a bit oppressive? Get one of these from the Market, and say "Buh-bye" to those pesky relics. Also functions as "I don't auto-lose to Bore".

Cirso's Choice eats Aegis from things like Stand Together, sweeps low-health boards (while our Chalice'd units dodge it), AND can be used as Fast Speed face Aegis. What's not to love?

The Great Parliament is a good win-con for the old Harsh Rule, drop 3 Owls combo.

Coming Soon: Testing of Derry Cathain, Ripclaw Rider and Amaran Stinger. With the new upgrades, these may or may not be very good for the Chalice.

Wondering what all you have tested.
With 8 merchants, it might be good to have fate/echo cards. Cliffside porter is good with chalice but a very bad card. Jotun hurler is comparatively better but seems like it wouldn't work especially well here. I also thought about situational cards like disjunction, counterspell, channel the tempest, and gavel. They can be put into the market when not needed. Strategize could also help with running main deck gavel and gaining echo/fate card advantage.
Also, what do you think the best substitute for convoy is until I get and complete into shadow, I am currently just running a bunch one-ofs to see what I like


Quantificate Eternal Version: 1.45
The only reason for 8 merchants is to guarantee we get a chalice. If not for the consistency (and that both merchants are great chalice targets), we'd just run 4. So fate/echo stuff never really became a focus, as well as most Fate cards being big units we can't chalice, and Echo cards being very situational. As far as a replacement for Xulta Convoy... I'd say find a decent 2/X Aegis unit Crownwatch Paladin maybe? Or something like Miner's Canary as a Flying blocker (because we're quite weak to flyers as the build stands) Might I also recommend my Dark Chalice build, it seems better in the new meta.

Did you make this deck just to be able to write this "Jennev Merchant got buffed recently, and that makes Chalice happy."? ;) No but seriously looks like fun gonna give it a spin.
VoidKing Eternal Version: 1.43
Wow, I didn't even think about her being better for Chalice, now. Nice!
Quantificate Eternal Version: 1.43
Exactly!
VoidKing Eternal Version: 1.42.3
This deck REALLY needs a sandstorm scarf in the market
Quantificate Eternal Version: 1.43
This change was made, I forgot to update the list here. Updates incoming.
Razfrost Eternal Version: 1.42.2
Hi. Im testing your deck. I have no Martyr's Chains any reasonable replacement? Its unique i know but what other card could fit in there? Also as i have only 2 Avigraft i put 2 Stand Together and its working quite well c:
Quantificate Edited Eternal Version: 1.42.2
There's not really a substitute for Chains... I'd just drop in another removal spell, maybe -1 Vanq, -1 Chains, +2 Equivocate? (Or you could spend 2500 gold on the precon that has Chains in it). And Stand Together is a great idea, just don't play it until after you've Chalice'd all your dudes, unless you have to.
Psychotronic Eternal Version: 1.42.2
I managed to win a game with the surprise life-gain off Cirso's Choice, giving me the extra turn I needed to land Martyr's Chains, so this is my favorite deck now.
Quantificate Eternal Version: 1.42.2
Awesome! With the new buffs, I'm looking at changing out Ephemeral Wisp for Amaran Stinger... We'll see.
anomia Edited Eternal Version: 1.42.2
Amaran would look amazing at this deck. Any thoughts on Avigraft now it's gonna be nerfed? Maybe replacing it for Equivocate? I would also find some place for Adjudicator's Gavel. It's feln's nightmare, maybe it's even better with the returning of Vara.
Quantificate Eternal Version: 1.42.2
Yeah, Gavel is going to need to be a thing. The only problem is, we're in all the unsupported smuggler pairs at the moment, and I don't know if we can support Jennev, Auralian, AND Winchest. We may have to settle for something a little less final as a void hate tool if that deck gets big... maybe Lumen Reclaimer to scrap their void? On the subject of Avigraft... the mana cost increase makes it harder to use for aggro decks. I really don't think that 4JJ is that big of a difference to us, but only testing will tell.
eljeffedemagico Eternal Version: 1.42.2
I love this! i have been trying to figure out these 3 colors for weeks. who would have thought, "go back to chalice" lol. i am enjoying this deck. thanks for not keeping it to yourself.
Quantificate Eternal Version: 1.42.2
Not a problem. Hope it does as well for you as it did for me.
vampikachu Eternal Version: 1.42.2
I love the “Jennev got buffed recently”. That cracked me up. Awesome deck! Definitely gonna try it. 10/10 on Yelp.
Quantificate Eternal Version: 1.42.2
Thanks! Hope it works out for ya!
