Information

Hello all, this is an aggro deck attempting to utilize Dran's powerful bolster ability. I'm also a sucker for Praxis Adept, so we're trying to utilize her too. Overall, it is a go-wide strategy, trying to have an explosive first four turns. I'll break down the ideas behind the individual card choices below.

Dran, Not Backing Down - A potentially very powerful card, and good even if he only triggers once. He also has over-the-top synergy with Grumbo, Tota Legend. Other cards that trigger bolster are Furyblade, Ossuar Longbow, and Praxis Painting.

Praxis Adept - Leads to a lot of very fast starts. Playing a Malaga Amphitheater on T2 for example leads to a total of four more power to spend that turn after Dashing Maneuver on the Adept. Ossuar Longbow can also played to buff her on T3. Even Grove Supplier -> attack for one -> another two-drop is a potential play. There is also good synergy with Auralian Supplier as Adept lets you play your hand faster or potentially drop supplier on T2.

Kid, Grove's Heart - She has been performing quite well in this deck as it is a go-wide strategy. In addition, there are three different three drops with charge to activate her the turn after playing her. She's still been strong even without the activation, though.

Everything else shouldn't really need explanation. Ive had a lot of success with the list so far. Comments and suggestions are welcome as always.

i think you are purposefully not giving explanation for more controversial picks, why pyroknight, why furyblade, why no torch, the powerbase etc
TemporaryWitness Eternal Version: 23.10.26
The pyroknight is the choice of one-drop, because I've found that I often end up with a lot of power later in the game, so the ultimate comes up more than usual. The furyblade is just another way to trigger the bolster on Dran. Fitting in a package to use Praxis Adept and Dran effectively takes a lot of space in the deck, so I really only decided to use two slots for burn spells. I prefer searing strike to torch in a low-to-the-ground praxis deck. The powerbase is the way that it is to support being able to play Adept on T1. Seat of Impulse, Praxis Painting, and Praxis Insignia are the only power cards that do that, and I usually want at least nine sigils for seat. The banner is the next best power card. Jekk is there in the market, because in a deck with sigils, I think he's better than phoenix or Karrina.
