Warhelm Skycrag (Previously Ashcan)

My iteration of Skycrag aggro for Defiance meta, currently still in progress as I'm testing how viable is the "ashcan" Urn of Choking Embers.

Deck follows the similar concept of this deck Skycrag Aggro (Ladder Tuned).

Card Choices Explained
OUT
-3 Ixtun Merchant
-1 Pyroknight
-3 Shogun's Scepter
-1 Obliterate
-1 Backlash

IN
+3 Vadius, Clan Father
+3 Urn of Choking Embers
+1 Dusk Raider
+1 Eilyn's Intervention
+1 Winter's Grasp

The above cards was cut because I'm reluctant to land Ixtun a lot of times as she only fetches me Obliterate or Mortar. She's good in aggro or mirror, but in ladder now which I'm expecting a lot midrange decks, I think Jennev Merchant is much better and Vadius, Clan Father who has Aegis might play more important role. The Quickdraw from Vadius is where I'm weighing the importance. Still yet to conclude this changes but I'm positive with it.

1 Pyroknight is out because she's the worst 1 drop. The place is replaced by Dusk Raider because I'm playing our 4th Permafrost which is Winter's Grasp. In addition. I'm taking out Shogun's Scepter to allow Urn of Choking Embers to make it's way. I might be wrong here because Shogun's value is just too good for the cost of 3 but if the "ashcan" wins me more games than Shogun does then I might as well cut it off. Theoretically, Shogun doesn't help you push in damage in the face of super huge blockers, but Urn of Choking Embers gives you a window to go all-in and push the life point advantage.

1 Backlash out for 1 Eilyn's Intervention for combating cheap wipes and the Discoveries.

So those are the changes I'd made, once the build is stabilized I'll be editing this post to the final iteration. Do keep a watch on my post for the final build ;)

Took off Urn of Choking Embers because it simply does nothing and only awesome when you drew it in your starting hand.
Longbarrel is underwhelming at the moment, meta has a lot Justice aggro while I still face plenty of FJS, hence Warhelm is added for the burst and charge and the extra Warcry trigger to have some extra big shots other than Oni Ronin to help for the Warcries. Shogun's Scepter was cut so I'd to look for replacement (In fact I was reluctant to play Shogun's Scepter unless I've a surviving Champion of Fury).

Shugo Standard added to replace Rampage as the combat trick and I added in Ornate Katana for the fact I've Vadius and Rakano Outlaw and the Quickdraw is very valuable. Ornate keeps me in the smoothness by replacing itself on play.

**Previous Ashcan Win Rate: 45% - 50%. Too many swingy games, doesn't feel great.

Finalized version is now up. Warhelm is proven gas and solved some of the Skycrag aggro's issue; not having big dudes to push through damage during mid game. Warcry is too valuable to take away, and Ixtun Merchant is back because I like Mindfire for the win or sell Shugo Standard out with Jennev and later to get it back with Ixtun. Don't bother Longbarrel anymore, it doesn't replace itself and doesn't really kill a lot targets and a lot of times I'm using the Spellcraft effect to remove Aegis instead.

Deck is stable and I'm now back to Diamond II. Pushing forward to hit Masters.
