Marks are great and it becomes fairly easy to add fire influence so this is now a 5 faction deck, which means we can play The Creation Project. There are also some nice new market options, as well as some maindeck cards that I am still experimenting with like Honey Porter, Wandering Trader, and Liquid Flame
The ShiftstonedEternal Power Calculator is a deck-building tool that visualizes your odds of drawing enough Influence and Power based specifically on the cards found in your deck.
I have piloted your 4 Faction version of this one, it was already excellent in its build, just a question would you consider Lystia the red card flyer at your turn because of her nomad ability in this deck since she regularly can possibly put any honey relic as an add on relic at your disposal/ did you already tried her/ her passive ability that you can activate any relic with activated ability at fast speed also, i already tested her, since relic activated ability are not exhausted you could literally use any activated relic twice, once at your main phase turn, and another chance to activate only before the opponenst end phase turn only, unfortunately you could not interact it as a fast like trick spell during their main phase like if they were attacking or doing their own thing in their main phase
I haven't tried Lystia, Winged Lantern. I think the double fire influence is tough for this version of the deck, and many of the relics in this deck don't care about being activated at fast speed (Waystone Gate only plays a giant if the entomb happens on your own turn). The red and green honey would probably be decent at fast speed. Getting a second activation of a once-per-turn relic is pretty cool though. I think it would be fun to try a different list with Lystia alongside Shardbinder and various once-per-turn activated relics.
Event Horizon has been a bit underwhelming whenever I tried it. Compared to Lethrai Lobotomy and Clear the Way, it has no board impact and only draws cards. I think that 8 relic sac effects is enough, and there are other ways for the deck to generate card advantage, such as Lethrai Courtier, Bottled Storm, or having Severin and activating Waystone Gate + Pitfall Trap
I like trader against control decks because an aegis unit and a relic weapon can be hard for them to stop. But you are right that Scared Beetender is very efficient and I should probably be playing it.
Isnt it better than Trader?
