Kerendon ramp control [Masters - Tier A+ / S]

Hi team,

Long timer lurker here who have been playing this game on and off for a few years now. I usually go for tripple masters and do my own brews or take skeletens from you guys and do some twits. This is my first time, however, where I've shared a deck officially. I do agree with mr. Ranger that we need to spread more info on available decks to keep the game up and about.

This particular brew is something me and cakecake came up with. I reluctantly decide to share it since I honestly believe it's the best ladder deck there is. Last two months I got masters with 75%-80% winrate from G3 to masters. I hope you guys don't try it out because it's way too much fun.

Concept of the deck

Ramp and survive!
The powerlevel of Eternal cards don't scale linear, but instead exponentially. What I mean is that the top 2 cost cards aren't 2x better than 1 mana cost ones, but rather 2,5-3x. Same goes for 3 mana > 2 mana, 4 mana > 3 mana, 5 mana > 4 mana and so on. I realize this sounds pretty derp cause combination of cards makes the deck, but when building this deck it made alot of sense. The idea here is to get to the higher cost cards as soon as possible to outvalue your opponent.

Wincons

The idea is to utilize the mana you get from Lost Scroll Display of Vision A New Beginning Marshal Ironthorn to get to the endgame quicker. You also maindeck End Of An Era for relic aggro, throne room, kira decks, etc.. Display of Vision is also incredibly good against those decks because of the relic removal and -1/-1 ability.

You usually win by either combining Marshal Ironthorn with Riftfeeder Wasp, straight up hitting opponents in the face with Stormhalt Plating, do big dudes with Builder's Decree, or use you sideboard to get Subversion of Nature.

Card reasoning
3x Nomnom's Feast are incredibly potent against aggro / tempo decks after you've ramped and resetted the board. It also allows you to take some extra damage to bait out additional units from their side.

2x Skullmarket Delivery We only really need this for A. early aggro decks where you don't have an end of an era in the starting hand, B. Corrupt against combo / opponent subversion or save the day, or C. against an annoying high cost relic where we don't have a vision available.

I've tweaked the mana-base quite a few times to get the optimal lay-out. I do believe what this deck run is the best combination betweel cylixes, crests, marks and sigils. We do sometimes run out of sigils for the ramp spells, but getting the right influence is by far more important imo.

Matchups
Really strong against all aggro, tempo, midrange decks. Relics just straight up get destroyed and the matchup against Kira is favourable.

Bad matchups are against aegis relic control based decks. Like Worldpyre and Poacher's Menagerie with backups. It could also fall shorthanded to combo decks if you dont have market access available early. Though you don't really see alot of those decks on ladder normally.

Hope you have some fun with it.
