Information

This deck is one that I built specifically around Shadowlands Borderscout. I didn't expect it to be good, but it's actually insanely good! The idea is to use the early warcry units to hopefully buff up Shadowlands Borderscout, then after the opponent has used their removal on your aggressive stuff, you slam Shadowlands Borderscout and refill your hand! The synergy with Ornate Katana is great as well. Worst case an unbuffed Shadowlands Borderscout comes down, and when you are able to attack with it, you play Katana and then swing, drawing you 4 cards! Which for an aggro deck is absurdly good. Give this deck a try, you will not be disappointed!

This deck looks so fun vs. Gauntlet. I just don't want to make the persuaders :(
Mattyocre Eternal Version: 1.47
You don't need the persuaders! They're just really good. Swap those for 2 Ornate Katana and you're good to go! Enjoy!
VoidKing Eternal Version: 1.47
Yeah, but I want to play it at peak performance and the 2 direct damage from the persuaders goes so well, lol. Still, the way you suggest I can try it for free :)

Thank you!

Ha, ha. I can't believe it. I threw this together, fought a gauntlet, right after winning one just before, and it took the whole thing, boss and all. There's something to this deck, even though, it's not the best at PvP.
Mattyocre Eternal Version: 1.44
That's awesome! Yeah, it can definitely struggle against the best decks that are so prevalent right now. It probably needs to splash another faction to shore up those bad matchups. Glad it worked for your gauntlet though!

With the Ankle Cutters out, I feel like torrential downpour is pretty bad for the market. Rockslide is probably better.
Mattyocre Eternal Version: 1.44
Interesting. I'm curious why you think so. I see the benefit of both cards for sure. I just think downpour gives you a window to punch through tokens or scrappy hour strategies in the late game, where rockslide would not. Both good cards though!

I love borderscout it’s definitely one of my favorite cards from Defiance! Is warhelm better in the maindeck to try and give it charge for multiple scouts instead of just once from the market?
Mattyocre Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Yeah, you're going to want to put 4 in the maindeck ASAP. It's so good haha. Great call, my friend!
Jgliss31 Edited Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Good to hear haha! I just know in my experience the scout always eats removal super fast so might as well try and make the most of it with all the warhelms
Mattyocre Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Yes, that is absolutely true! It's also very good on crow or crunch so it really just fits in nicely with the deck and pressures the opponent.
Mattyocre Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Definitely worth a try! Warhelm also works well with the aggro plan if you don't have any borderscouts yet. You could replace the scepters and maybe trim a permafrost for 3 warhelm.
Mattyocre Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Slight edit to the original list. I've been tuning this deck and found that ankle cutter isn't necessary or nearly as impactful as dusk raider so I've swapped those out. Shadowlands Borderscout with berserk is incredible.

Cool idea. Just wondering why you are running 29 power in an aggro deck?
Mattyocre Eternal Version: 1.43.0.6161
Wow, that is definitely not correct. Thanks for catching that! Fixed it to only have 26 power.
