So, I don't think many explanations are needed here. Basically, every single unit except the AP smug and blood beetle (WTB 1 more decent shadow 1-drop, DWD pls.) have empower that essentially means +2 damage in some capacity, every power is essentially a rally, Rhysta draws you free rallies, and Hojan essentially reads: "Renown: play an additional rally." If you have Tavia alive, you never run out of things to do since you can always get more dorks with her. Obviously, the bigger issue with this deck is keeping cards in hand, because essentially, you just want more cards. Power? I want them. Units? I want them. Combat tricks? I want them. Bricks? They feed Tavia.
I wish I could play against nightmaul with this deck all day. Maybe it might be better in a Feln shell with darkstalker, dusk raider, and skystrider, but then there's no replacement for Hojan, finest hour, and DI, all of which are vital.
Some consideration goes for splashing primal for scream, or time for awakened student and stand together.
Huge help from AhornDelfin with the market. He said this iteration of the deck was working great for him.
In any case, enjoy the new pointy-eared SMORC.
PS: WTB aggressive shadow market access. RIP 3/3 AP smug.

After playing it for a bit I have also changed out the Smugglers for Madness as I figured -1 blocker +1 attacker might just tip the balance (and let's be honest, aggro is all about winning by turn 5 or scooping and playing again) and it's amusing stealing all the 4th turn Vara's and swinging with them :)
Love the deck, thank you for posting it.
