First a brief history about how this deck came to be. It was originally a hooru spell craft deck that turned into tjp spellcraft/answer the call/hoard plunderer deck, but ultimately ended up just combrie. Its a small sample size but out of the 40 games I actually tracked it lost 8. It is an expensive list, that being said most people who have played awhile should have most of the pieces with the 2 exceptions being
Ironfist Chancellor and
Copperhall Bracers, but the rest are solid crafts for time and/or justice. Understanding how the deck works is key some of the lines maybe unintuitive, for example playing bracers on you merchant without activating the blessing on turn 4 to go from 5 power ->6->7 while holding up stand together if needed ( this sounds like a far fetched scenario but it happens more than you think it sould.) Or simply slapping
Vanquisher's Blade onto the
Ironfist Chancellor or
Teacher of Humility is sometimes correct (not vs shadow, because annihlate). But it takes getting a feel for It. Some budget options are as follows.
Jaril, Amaran Ghostblade for Ironfist Chancellor or teacher of humility and was what I was running before I finally broke down and crafted teacher and could even replace worldbearer Behemoth if you want more aggresion.
Auric Record Keeper could replace
Knight-Chancellor Siraf or
Copperhall Bracers for a more unit focused build.
Vodakhan's Staff and
Awakened Student are also solid cards for a tighter budget. Any and all feed back is welcome and appreciated. If you give it a whirl feel free to let me know how it went.
