Information

As soon as I saw Sindar, the Corruptor in the reveal I knew I wanted a deck with her. Some ideas were tossed about on how to just get her to ping the opponent:
* Icebow
* Iceberg Scattershot

Or simple evasion to get her through at low costs:
* Haunting Scream
* Ghostform

I also noticed the new Mercenary Vanguard would work well too. Reflector has great potential for paying the cost to clone Sindar, the Corruptor before she drops.

I'm still working on what exactly I want in the deck, I had four copies of Sindar, the Corruptor in the main deck but moved her to the market for this iteration to see if I could get her more reliably. With Rage Grafter's ability to both fetch her and give her Berserk and +1/+1 it's got some promise. (And might make the deck a little less expensive for others to approach.)

This iteration also has Tavia, Lethrai Raidleader, mostly I wanted the ability to discard a specific card from my hand so I could use Haunting Scream when other evasion wasn't available. It might just be better to play Sindar, the Corruptor and let her die though. I added Acantha Ascending to add some elves but I don't often get enough shadow influence to really get good synergy going, I might tweak the powerbase or cut her.

The AI doesn't think much of Sindar's Mark being a threat. It will happily let you add them instead of risking losing a unit. I expect DWD will patch this eventually.

So far I've won by:
* Having 2x Mercenary Vanguard's out and attacking with two Sindar, the Corruptor, (via Mirror Image, I pulled that card at some point, Reflector can help in that regard.)
* Pinged with Icebow and attacked with and without Ghostform, (which is where I found that the AI would rather lose the game than let one of it's units die.)

I will say, I haven't won a game with any versions of this deck that didn't involve getting three Sindar's Mark on the opponent.

May I suggest using something that can benefit more from iceberg or mercenary like direwood beast caller instead of tavia or acantha. Acantha is great but how often are you getting the influence to benefit from her?

I haven't really refined this deck at all. I was just toying with some ideas. I think Direwood Beast Caller would be a good fit, giving you some extra blockers to buy time. On that note Desperado might work nicely too.
