There is nothing special about this deck. I saw opponents on Stonescar at the end of October, so I decided to give it a try. This build worked well for me. Originally, and for most of my run, I had 4x
Mischievous Student and 4x Barbarian Guerillas, and the deck was fine. After feedback from LightsOutAce in the TNT discord and trying his revision of the deck (which upped the
Collection Rounds and added
Chizue, Silver Hilt, removing
Miner's Musket and
Golden Horn Security and +2
Syl's Stronghold, and i gave the deck a try with
Xo, Conquerer of Stonescar) I settled on this version going one less Student and Barbarian and +2 Strongholds.
The deck feels great and plays smoothly.
Oni Forgesmith is there for the Inscribe and should be used as such liberally. Getting double damage on Musket and
Stonebreaker Bow is awesome, but it's an ancillary benefit if you can contract Forgesmith. You need to get to five power primarily, six is ideal or nine, 12, etc.
Taunt cards are the deck's MVP with
Raniya, Miviox Maniac playing
Breath of Miviox for value, Minotaur Muscles, or
Rickety Ramcart.
Mischievous Student,
Miner's Musket, and
Stonebreaker Bow are defense against
Plunk Wumpkin and
Battlefront Dasher. Turn 2 relic weapons just shut down most Menace decks early.
Don't be afraid to ditch high powered cards like
Riva, Crimson Blur or
Blackmaw Carnosaur to
Catalyze. You're either going to get better, more powerful cards or... more power... :(
Enjoy this deck as is or make it your own. Like I said, it worked for me.
