Information

Irrelevant information: I used to love Cruel Control from MTG, and I hope to have something similar in eternal someday.

This deck has a few synergies I discovered on accident, and the deck runs very well.
Menace Chant has been great with the random card selection so far, and pulling power.
Sabotage misses a lot of the time but when it hits, it hits hard.
Transpose is probably my favorite market access card in Eternal, and helps keep the curve low by giving you access to powerful 4 drop effects.
Dazzle right now is on thin ice, and being scrutinized as a possible card to cut. Especially with the new Technique spells out.
Grand Suppressor is a hilarious card with a powerful effect. In this deck it holds up Siege Breaker and Siege Train, but makes Refracted Sentinel a 3 cost removal unit with Sling.
Strategize is an important effect for a control style deck, letting you put the many power you will draw on the bottom.
D'Angolo Arson - hand disruption, reach damage.
Refracted Sentinel is here as an early threat or removal with Sling as mentioned above.
Sling of the Chiwhile there is currently only one unit in the main deck that draws you a card, Sling is still a powerful and obnoxious relic. It is also not the focus of the deck so it slots in nicely.
Black Iron Manacles is another favorite card of mine, especially if the opponent likes drawing too much. You only really need one in play unless your opponent is struggling to keep up. There is probably room to cut one of these from the list.
Siege Breaker is here for relic removal, or unit removal with sling, if you have Suppressor out, hold on to him if you need the removal.
Siege Train is just a good generic Sling unit, the other effects are nice if your opponent lets you attack with him, which does NOT happen often.
Karvet, Redeemed is the only unit main deck that lets you draw off sling, but he is a strong flying unit that will hold off enemy nonsense, and power fix you, especially if we ever get Feln and Stonescar Cylixes.

Powerbase has been really good so far, I want more Cylixes but here we are.
Have not run into any issues casting anything in the deck with the requirements so low, let me know if you have any suggestions about it.

Market
Burglarize is my favorite 4 drop relic answer to date.
Doctor Zytrom is hilarious for finishing games and surprising your opponent, can also steal those stupid threats the opponent likes to keep playing from the void.
Honor of Claws of course to refill your hand, play it before playing power etc, you know how to use this card by now.
Statuary Maiden is probably not the strongest choice, especially with Toll of Warfare being released, which may take her spot as soon as I feel like testing it.
Turn to Seed is a card we all hate to see by now, but I think making it cost 4 was a buff and not a nerf, because of how I like to deckbuild.

Any and all suggestions welcome, I am sure there are plenty of new cards that would slot nicely into this deck but I have been too overwhelmed to really dive into them.
