Defiance and
Ice Bolt vs aggro
Vanquish and
Permafrost vs +4 drops
Harsh Rule vs disrespectful board :)
notably, the snowball from
Jotun Hurler kills a lot of nasty x/1 units plus pops aegis on big Icaria.
Still testing
Isolate instead of
Annihilate, if u manage to control the board and kill other units first it can 1 for 1
more often against multifaction units, also pop on Icaria while Defiance can't because of Endurance :(
Didn't include
Desecrate cause it's SS and u'll always be aiming to have PP for
Wisdom of the Elders on turn 3
Midgame u'll be Smuggling mainly for
Regent's Tomb to keep playing power or access ur silver bullets,
and after resolving
Svetya's Sanctum or
Brilliant Idea u'll be in good shape to close the game.
If that's not enough restocking ur hand with
Mokhnati, Restored will usually nail the coffin and
if going for ultra late game
Martyr's Chains plus
Golem Press will eventually close the deal in a couple of turn :)
Just a quick matchup play, Smuggler + onslaught
Royal Decree will wrench any
Clockroach deck :)
Also, i think i should add that playing Harsh Rule with the Sanctum in play will also kill ur unit as it comes into play before the boardwipe.
Have fun and feel free to comment!
