Information

So, with all the 3F greedpiles running around, and not too many grenadin drones, I thought one way of punishing them would be with a heavy aegis deck. This deck has been winning a fair share of games for me, but I'm sure some people may take issues with some of the cards. The 1-of defiance is for Teacher of Humility on the play. Ultimately, a line like Jennev merchant -> mirror image -> cast on Jennev -> get feast-caller can do a lot of work. Skycrag Scalebreaker is something I'm considering as well, as it seems to be somewhat akin to a mono-primal wannabe accelerated evolution. Not sure about this one though. Maybe scalebreaker is better in the main?

In any case, berserk from dusk raider gives you a little bit of extra gas to get some more power and for your units to have a bit more oomph in all the matches in which you want to be the beatdown. If you want to go full aegis completely, you might want to replace enforcer with Kosul Battlemage, but I think enforcer is just better by that much outside of a dedicated blitz deck.

Anyhow, take it for a spin and see how you like it. Given that the meta is all new, the tuning is most likely imperfect, but I'm not sure anything is set in stone this soon.

Scalebreaker is definitely worth testing. It gives you some flexibility and some fodder to throw in the market, and getting it later to give a unit evasion is fine.

I've been tweaking some of the numbers, trying a second defiance over the 4th Avigraft. I like having 6 answers for teacher and don't generally go before that.

The only problem I've been running into is I sometimes feel like there's just not quite enough units but decks like this are pretty dense with core cards.

You can try cutting oathbook for additional units if you feel unit light, but oathbook usually helps a lot with unit-light strategies.
