Information

I've been trying to make Auric Interrogator a reliable engine for a while. Enter Unexpected Arrival (thanks to Watermelon for pointing it out).

There are backup plans like Blackhall Warleader, Xenan Initiation, Dark Return, Ripknife Assassin, Vine Grafter (thanks for setting me straight, Watermelon!) and the market. And then once you buff Interrogator, it synergizes with Spiritweaver.

Oh and don't forget, Unexpected Arrival is fast, so it can be used as a combat trick!

You can easily out-grind the AI, or just flat out-value them with the standard Xenan shell.

The market is now kind of up for grabs since it's purely shadow. I'm considering Saw and Falchion.

If you like any of my decks, or want to watch me play any feel free to add me in-game. Drewbagel423+0994. And if you have any suggestions or want to ask questions, I'd love to hear from you.

My tier 1 Gauntlet decks are:
#1 - Rolantport (Tier 1)
#2 - Sling (Tier 1)
#3 - Mono Green (Tier 1)

I'm looking through the xenan 3 drops to see what I could recur with memory dredger. Hugely disappointed. Livia, Kimi, and Dizo seem mediocre at best.

There might be a 2 to 1 cost combo with shadowlands guide tho.

With 4 SST main, I wonder if we can try a stronger finisher than Gnash. Maybe Azindel?
Watermelon Eternal Version: 20.12.23
I agree. Part of power of unexpected arrival is enabling BIG plays earlier than usual. Azindel seems perfect

I like it! I think I might take out Burden or Pride leader instead though.
Watermelon Eternal Version: 20.12.23
I have tried similar lists to this. Interrogator is one of my favorite cards ever.
drewbagel423 Eternal Version: 20.12.23
Agreed. I think this list is pretty reliable. Let me know if you try it.

Hey there again, here's my list trying to use the same idea: Interrogator and Pals
