Hey everybody!

Right up front, I need to mention where this deck came from. Combrei aggro mid So credit to Aetherllama for the original idea.

When I was trying to figure out what kind of deck Sword of Unity would fit in best, I tried various decks with Alessi, Combrei Archmage, but never found a version that I liked. Keep in mind, this was before Mouche_ won the ETS with his version of Combrei which does play Alessi. Even then, I've continued playing this version because I really like a lot of the things the deck does. Sword of Unity is a very powerful card that can swing games in a pretty crazy way.

This deck utilizes ramp dorks Initiate of the Sands and Auralian Merchant to get us the requisite power to activate Spellcraft on the 3 weapons in the deck, and then powerful efficient units like Awakened Student, Sandstorm Titan, and Predatory Carnosaur along the curve.

Some interesting cards in this deck are Kosul Battlemage and Sheriff Marley. They are mainly in the deck because Aegis units are very useful to put weapons on, and this is a weapon deck at it's heart. Marley has been a little suspect, and I think that if there is anything to change in this deck it starts with her. She's been very clutch in some games, but I think 4 might be too many. I think I might like to play exactly 2, no more and no less.

I think that if you want to play Alessi in your deck, the version that plays Safe Return is your best bet, and she wouldn't be as good in this deck as she would be in that one, so I recommend against adding her because at that point you'd be playing a worse version of a good deck.

Anyway, thanks for reading everybody! If you like the deck, make sure to hit the Thumbs Up. If you don't think it looks like much, I encourage you to give it a try, I've gotten some really good feedback from players such as childroland and sifudanny, who's opinions I trust very much. Let me know what you think in the comments below, and as always catch me on Twitch!

Very nice decklist that I'll be trying out. I've often tried to incorporate Jaril Ghostblade into Combrei weapons decks - what do you think of him?
TheSkeeJay Eternal Version: 1.37
I tried Jaril in a few versions of this deck and I've never been really impressed. His ultimate is too slow to use effectively, and there aren't really enough weapons in this specific deck to even reliably have one in play every game. I think he's probably fine in a version with 12-16 weapons but I think he's very likely to be a simple 2/3 for 2 in this deck which doesn't cut it

Thanks!

I like the list, what would you consider adding in replacement for the 2 Marleys?
TheSkeeJay Eternal Version: 1.37
I haven't tried anything yet. I was thinking an extra Sword might be nice, or 2 maindeck Xenan Initiations. You could also go the more boring route and squeeze in some Unseen Commandos.

I think I'm leaning towards a 3rd Sword of Unity and one Obelisk if I were to make the change. But so far I haven't decided she absolutely needs to go yet.

Sweet list!
