Defiance Gauntlet

Saw a bunch of great new options for Combrei Aggro in the new set, especially for gauntlet grinding, but I haven't seen a ton of lists for it yet, so I thought I'd toss one together.

It isn't a cheap craft, but if you've got a good portion of the set already, I think this is a good option to out-muscle the AI. Your objective with this list is to control the board. Have more threats than the robot can comprehend solutions for, and then swing for 5+ face hits that will only get bigger. Don't be too attached to units, but at the same time don't just no-brain swing and lose the board. Most of the time I see wins with this list on 5 or 6, and if it goes much longer than that, you at least have options with Knight-Chancellor Siraf, and Jaril, Amaran Ghostblade. Siraf is self-explanatory, but if you can get a couple decent buffs your unit of choice, a stand together and whatever weapon on it (ideally Sword of Unity), you should be able to muscle through with Jaril's ultimate.

The most important cards in the list are Sword of Unity and Hojan, Crownbreaker. You could make it work without a playset of Cykalis, the Burning Sand but he is a threat that the AI just derps at. I've seen it let him through to face when it makes no sense. Your market is flexible, you can even drop Jaril if you don't like the idea. A removal (I like Xenan Initiation) and a Sword is all that's required in there.

It's a gauntlet list, but if you tweak it a tad you might be able to catch some people off guard on the ladder. It's largely built to exploit AI decisions. It's a very quick and rough list, so let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
