Information

So I had to make an exp deck with Siege Train and I wanted to have fun with the influence payoffs so this is what I came up with. It could probably be more aggressive, it could probably be mono-red, but I really had fun with the Tota Pioneer shenanigans and market stuff and big flash fires. I played it three nights from silver to master league. It's probably not going to do well at the top but you can steal some games for sure.

Siege Train: typically draws annihilate but is just solid beater and sometimes gives your two drops and grenedins and rustlings a 3/3 weapon. Sometimes I don't want to play jekk on 4 because I don't have a sigil and it's nice to just toss out something that needs to be answered. I love the little boxes animation when it attacks and dies and the amplify interface. I'm really grateful to DWD for how well this was implemented and I'm glad it's winning so many people their draft and forge games!

Shavka Evangel: This seems iffy but the extra influence is really nice for surge, Jekk, Mercenary Hunter, Flash Fire, Fire Etchings and Granite Waystone. And honestly, that berserk has mattered with Finest Hour, Tota Pioneer, and Rampage.

Marley, Heroic Marshal: This might be too much of a stretch into justice, but it fits the surge theme and provides a silence and isn't all that hard to play in the mid to late game.

Fire Etchings: Since the aggro super early game in expedition didn't seem so great I wanted to run 25+4 Seek Power as my power base so these are the Seek Power effectively, they just don't fix for green and late they set up some nice reach or a Corrosive Dagger value play.

Anyway curious for improvements. Felt nice to play constructed again and get to master league!!

The new Ironthorn would work well.

I refuse to believe you hit master with this list honestly.

Every single game I tried with this list ran into NOTHING but removal piles since that is now the meta of this game. To only play removal in 2/3s of your deck. This list has no good card draw and after turn 4 if you have not killed them you have no hand and no board from having everything be removed instantly before they can even attack and get damage in.

It is not really your fault but this game is becoming super garbage over the fact that every single list HAS and DOES run at least 12 removal spells and then drops giant units that are far too cheap for what they should be. This list honestly can not even come close to competing.

I did more science tonight right before the month turnover so I figured everyone was going hard. I started at masters 250~something and went 17-14 and ended at rank 217. I feel like that's about right for this deck. It can get to masters like a lot of decks but doesn't do anything incredible once you get there. But I dunno I'm a limited player; I didn't try to oversell what's going on here. It's a red deck with Jekk and Cylixes are amazing.

Yeah maybe I got lucky and ran into an above average amount of non-meta decks right after the new cards came out. Not sure what to tell you! I got to diamond 1 last week and D1 to master league on this past sunday night when I posted this.
