Why it (sorta) works:
- Midrange Primal (not spell-based) is pretty good right now (for casual fun only, of course). Lots of good midrange Units and refueling with Helio. However, it's missing a bit of oomph to really solidify one's advantage, strengthen Units, and get things steamrolling. That's where Time and Clockroaches come into play...
- The Clockroach + Crown + Helio engine is very minimal/non-committal, distracts the opponent, and baits out removal. Rost, Crown, Clockroaches, and Helio might be too much for the opponent.
Why it's a work-in-progress:
- This is a very budget deck (because the expensive cards are old and likely already in one's collection), the Market is full of placeholders, and it isn't designed to beat the meta. However, it does run very smoothly.
