Information

Recurring Nightmare+Iceberg Scattershot OTK combo with Nesting Avisaur as main cost reduction method and torch bait.
Fast and reliable.

Strategies:
Goal is to get a 0 cost Recurring Nightmare and Iceberg Scattershot in hand.
0 cost Recurring Nightmare can be a achieved through:
A.Nesting Avisaur+Quarry (6 cost)
B.Nesting Avisaur+ Nesting Avisaur/Haunting Scream (4 cost 2 turns)
C.Nesting Avisaur+Journey Guide (4 cost 2 turns)

That said, it is better to use Cull the Deck and Strategize first and save Quarry in case you can get everything done in one turn. Although in reality it depends on your influence.

Save a Haunting Scream in case they kill Iceberg Scattershot and break the combo.
You might need a Torch to kill your own Iceberg Scattershot though. If you dont wanna click like 25 times repeatedly.

Apart from OTK combo components, all other cards are card draws. Crests also helps to find the specific components you need. Works most of the time.
Have fun!

While the combo is kinda nasty to face it seems like a lot of fun to put together. However after much tinkering I am thinking this just never gets to the point where it can consistently win, no matter how it is configured. There are some interesting advantages to going with 4 colors (have you tried Cargos instead of Seek? for example.) but I feel like even with a dozen changes the deck never quite measures up. I haven't tested this in Ranked but I am at D2 and expect it would just fail constantly vs the highly tuned decks I see there.

In Master Gauntlet (how I test decks for resilience) it does not fair well after 3-4 games. However I do like the various innovations you've added to the combo and will keep trying with it in Gauntlet to see if I can find a more resilient build.

Doesn’t work most of the time, just too slow and too many things have to go right for it to work.

Well just go through the guide and try to understand it. If it is too complicated for you, I suggest you delete this deck and save your baby rage for yourself.

Huh? I read the guide and I get what you’re trying to do, but it’s not working most of the time. Looks like I’m not the only one based on the post below. I’m not raging bud, but looks like you are. Seemed like an interesting deck.

You dont like it, Then delete it. Thats simple.

I liked the idea, so thanks for sharing. Don’t appreciate the attitude though but it’s ok, I get that you put some time into brewing this up and didn’t like it criticized. When this deck works it’s great, so there is that. Have a good one.

How are you winning with this deck? I'm 0 in 6 so far, it is far too inconsistent to be anything else than a meme deck imho. Too many things have to happen at the same time to make this work. I'll keep playing this until I win at least a single time, for the memes. The opponent just needs to play a single teacher and you instantly lose if you don't have the answer in hand already.

Edit: Okay, I did it, I won :)

I've been playing with https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/Sk2DVBiZzWg/scattershot-otk-ft-stoneshaker-knucklebones for a couple days, and just tried this Avisaur list, and it seems super solid. Quite possibly better than my list.

Something to note in your guide is that market cards get discounted, so Journey Guide can be played before grabbing Recurring Nightmare.
