Information

(An attempt to recreate a deck I recently got bopped by)
Check out AntiVector's ONE-TURN 1-6 P.Trove Combo for what is likely the original take on this combo (Trove + Celebration + Evac) and a great write up of how to play it!

UPDATE: Blazing Salvo is getting nerfed to being a 2-cost spell, which breaks the old combo. My current work-around is using Fire Etchings instead, but this makes the influence requirement for the combo 4F+5J. This usually isn't an issue but a better alternative would be great.

Combo:
Have Praxis Trove in play, 4F+5J infulence, 5 available power, and an Overloader in hand.
- Play Overloader. Trove plays Fire Etchings.
- Exhaust Overloader to fetch and play Passionate Stonehammer. Trove plays Celebration.
- Amplify Celebration twice to play a random 3-drop. Trove plays Xumuc Coercion.
- Sac your weakest unit (probably Overloader) to fetch and play Varbuk, Hand of Anarchy. Trove plays Evacuation Plan.
- Return all of your units to your hand so it plays a massive sentinel with a bunch of good battle skills. Since the sentinel costs 5, Trove plays Coronation Ritual.
- Sac the exhausted sentinel to play 2 massive units with the same battle skills (charge, berserk, flying, etc.) and A + space for what is probably lethal damage.

Notes:
The market Rujin's Choice is to help find Overloader with one of the 16 market options that can fetch it. The market Fearless Crescendo is to allow Trove to be fetched with Winchest Merchant so that it also has 16 ways to be fetched. None of the unmentioned cards in the deck are essential, they were only included to help find merchants/Overloader or set up the influence requirements and can easily be replaced.

Stonehammer and Varbuk aren't exactly necessary either, any 2 and 4 cost cards with charge, berserk/double damage, and evasion work fine. Renegade Valkyrie + Cinder Sprite could easily work as a good budget alternative.

Swapping Interloper for Kodosh Evangel or Rakano Stranger is another possible change but I haven't decided which I like better yet.

This deck is absolutely atrocious! I made a few changes based on collection restrictions but its just...wow. Probably one of my favorite lists found on the site.
Avalyn Eternal Version: 21.07.21
I love the deck idea, but wouldn't be better use a combination of Aika, Whirling Death and Cinder Sprite in the market?
S1O1 Eternal Version: 21.07.21
For maximum damage, yes. I prefer using Varbuk since the charger is the most important unit to protect and he dodges more removal, but either pairing works. The Incarnations this list makes are almost always at least 9/X so I'm fine with trading max damage for slightly more consistency :P
Avalyn Eternal Version: 21.09.02
Since we have lost blazing salvo and replaced with fire etchling, i take in consideration Bulletshaper, i think is a great add, gain double influence and can use the various spells we draw too early to ramp.
S1O1 Eternal Version: 21.09.02
That does sound like a really good addition, probably as a replacement for Interloper. I used to like Interloper's flexibility since it could potentially give 2J but it has felt very lackluster now that both influences are crucial.
Avalyn Eternal Version: 21.09.02
Or maybe swap the whinchest merchant for the bulletshaper, since now we have the etchling that can take also the trove, and use the space in the market for something else instead fearless crescendo, i used to play protect as billiy said bacause before it can be taken by blazing salvo, but now i had to find a different solution, i add Mistveil Drake that can be also a target for rujin's coiche to protect the combo, and a set of Crownwatch Press-Gang to be sure to hit overloader, but i did all this changes bacause i haven't both xo and the savior that i have to craft early
S1O1 Eternal Version: 21.09.02
Those all sound like fair changes. The 3-drop slot is very full with 12 merchants + Bulletshaper so it makes sense to cut the green merchant instead of a 2-drop.
I'm not really a fan of running market aegis in this deck since Sinister Rumors and Rain of Frogs are the only disruption I'm scared of and market aegis is too slow to protect against them. Using Drake for aegis sounds pretty fun though since it can activate early and unplayable cards aren't really much of a problem when running this many merchants.
Press-Gang seems like another good option. I've been hesitant to try it since it was nerfed to cost 5 but I still like the idea. Maybe also add some utility 1-drops like Horus Traver in case you already have an Overloader in hand but still need influence?
Xo and Savior are just market fodder + card draw/anti-aggro. Xo is the better one imo but neither are important for the deck so no pressure to craft them.
Avalyn Eternal Version: 21.09.02
It's not only for disrupting but also for killing-attachment cards, and be careful having other 1 cost units if u run the cronwatch.
billiy Eternal Version: 21.07.21
This is so nasty when it pops off. I swapped out Fearless Crescendo for Protect and it has really helped me not lose the Trove.
ggthe12 Eternal Version: 21.07.21
If you're the one who made this deck, you're a genius.
It's very stable, fast and powerful.
I'm having a lot of fun! Thank you!
S1O1 Eternal Version: 21.07.21
Thanks, the idea for the combo isn't mine though. I ran into someone playing it on ladder and couldn't find any similar lists so I made my own. I doubt it's anywhere close to being optimized but I'm glad to hear that it's been working out for you.
