Information

Hard Removal:
x4 Annihilate
x4 Desecrate
x4 Magenta Wisp
x4 In Cold Blood

Soft Removal and Anti-Aegis:
x3 Rapid Shot
x4 Vara's Favor
x4 Vara, Vengeance-Seeker
x1 Nullblade

Card Draw:
x4 Dark Wisp (Replaced by Blackhall Warleader, but still a valid budget alternative)
x4 Devour (Replaced by Last Chance specifically for Sudden Death boss)
x4 Evenhanded Golem
x4 Vara's Favor
x4 Amethyst Waystone
x4 Seal of Devotion

Game Plan:

- The ideal hand contains an Evenhanded Golem, another 2-cost unit and 2-3 Sigils. Always play the golem before playing any power for the turn, due to Seal of Devotion

- Adapt to the deck you are facing, e.g. save an Annihilate for Predatory Carnosaur, or In Cold Blood for Inquisitor Makto or against aggro just use removal whenever possible and rely on Dreamsnatcher and Vara, Vengeance-Seeker to keep you relatively safe.

- Try to always get some value out of Vara's Favor rather than just pinging the opponent.

- Memory Dredger is probably the most important unit in this deck, you should only play it when you are fairly sure the AI won't have a way to remove it. It is worth noticing that bringing back a Dreamsnatcher from the void will also refresh his ultimate ability, which can be another win condition in the late game.

Befoul really shines in this deck if you add it.

Which cards did you replace for it? And how often does the AI have 10 or more cards in the void?
I have actually added Incarnus, Makkar's Listener from the new set for some good results.

I didn't really replace any card, I just lack Memory Dredger and don't really want to create it just for a gauntlet grinder.
Also I don't think removing Dark Wisp and especially Devour does this Deck any good. The drawing power is really helpful.

With no way to remove relics, decks like The High Council might be problematic if you can't close the game out before Xenan Obelisk comes down. This was my personal experience.

That aside I had fun playing this deck :)
