Information

So just shenanigans with deadly BSH that I've been goofing off with in gauntlet after getting my 3rd silver throne win. Really consistent at beating down the gauntlet, which can make for some easy ways to farm gold. Enjoy.

V2: some players were complaining about power issues. Added some more power in the form of raw power, more talir's favored, and cut magnificent stranger.

Update! Over the last few days I played this deck in Gauntlet, just finishing the Masters gauntlet now and I only lost 2 games in gold gauntlet. Definitely the best gauntlet grinder I've ever played with!
mastadazza Eternal Version: 1.50.9
This deck is amazingly addictive! I took the Strategize, Primil Sigil and the Temple Standard back out and put the Magnificent Strangers back in and man can this deck just win games outta now where! Just started from the first game in silver and not lost a game with it. I've nearly finished gold so I'm on about 11 straight wins. Some of the games I've played I won from being dead on board. Touch of Battle with units that can ping the enemy board is literally broken! :D

Unfortunately the deck floods too much. Too many useless cards when you need gas. There are 12 two drop max power or sigil search cards and they don't scale well into the late game. What are you even ramping into? I would cut most of them for draw power or other gas. Just not enough consistency to get to the end.
IlyaK1986 Eternal Version: 1.50.9
You ramp into card draw (yetipult ability, being able to cast distillation and still do other things), and touch of battle + BSH in one turn.
BusterStatus Eternal Version: 1.50.9
I mean, yeah, I get that. I've done several attempts with the deck, but practically speaking, you end up drawing the ramp half a lot of the time and then have nothing to do with it.
IlyaK1986 Eternal Version: 1.50.9
Interesting. Some people tell me they get power screwed, I add more power. If you want less ramp/power and more payoff, feel free to tune it.
BusterStatus Eternal Version: 1.50.9
Yeah, I appreciate the skeleton anyway. I think there's value in the synergy. I'll keep toying with it and see if there's anything I can do to make it more consistent. Thanks.

Some card to sutituive black sky? I have 2, 4, 6 and 7 campain
IlyaK1986 Eternal Version: 1.50.8
None. Play deadly evenhanded elysian if you don't have black-sky. It's the core card for this deck.
PandaBroPound Eternal Version: 1.50.8
Def got some gold from this! Ty!
Slydunan Eternal Version: 1.50.8
Way too unreliable to be a gauntlet deck
MaxGen Eternal Version: 1.50.8
Yeah, I second that opinion =/
Ravager Edited Eternal Version: 1.50.8
First run failed to a spellcrag deck with a bunch of Obliterates and Infernus, even after playing Devour, Prideleader, and Harbinger I was just too low.

EDIT: Second run lost to a blitz deck, got power screwed, went second with all depleted power, and couldn't play any sweepers. Third run ended losing to the 'spells are units' boss. 0-3, which is about what I'd expect from a 3F combo deck with high influence costs, tons of depleted power, and lots of x2 copies. Deck is fun but not consistent enough to be a gauntlet grinder.
Serus Edited Eternal Version: 1.50.8
That's honestly surprising, I started using this yesterday and 7-0'd 3 drafts in a row. This deck has a lot of ramp and draw which usually makes up for it even if you do get power screwed.
Serus Eternal Version: 1.50.8
Thanks for this. It’s been pretty consistent since I’ve started using it and makes grinding gold much easier.
