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.
Hit rate on Tavrod is really really low here. Often only 6 hits left in the deck at all. Might be worthwhile and the removal is the best part of the deck, but you don't have as much late game power.
I posted this deck here because Paradox and I talked about AP Mid on our podcast and I mentionned this list I used to get to rank 1. I mentionned it is faaaaar from optimal. I agree with you and I'm sorry I wasn't clear about why I posted the deck.
Ahh, no problem, I figured I'd probe for how to increase the hit rate. It's a hard problem to solve without giving poor draws or sacrificing power at the 3/4 drop slot. Thanks for posting and clarifying.
I created this deck after watching Tonygeeeee play it on Twitch. It's a good deck for the shiftstone cost. You can make better decks, but those that are in the same price range will not be as good. So for the value you can't beat it. (Went from Gold III to Gold I in the last two days with this deck.)
