I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. It's silly fun to play, and even in my less-than-serious hands it's winning enough to begin the ladder climb from 20.
What would you do to improve it? Or just to make it more absurd while still having game against most opponents?
So it looks like the kind of deck that would do well with eggs and sanguine reveler, but I tried earlier versions with those two cards, and they didn't keep the momentum like this version does. The cards you're looking to activate aren't the cards you're killing - those are commonplace and replaceable - it's the cards that activate off something ELSE being summoned or dying, and the recursion you get from the endlessly spawning & dying treadmill of the Geist, Cultist, and Juggler.
What I've found so far is you have to pick one:
Pay for the card that does something cool when it dies, and make sure to have a way to activate it... (Like eggs and sanguine revelers)
...or feed swarms through the chipper shredder to keep generating draws and replacement minions.
Adding cards that are good-when-they-die requires you slow down to play those cards, rather than keeping the pressure on. The Pterrodax and Unwilling Sacrifice are in there not to activate a card that does something cool when it dies, but because they're plenty good without needing a fancy sacrifice target - a cheap sacrifice target and a geist or cultist making it cool is plenty good.
Obvi, eggs and sanguine reveler are strong cards. But I've tried them in this deck, and I found they didn't work in it as well as cards that just make faceless minions hit the table in droves.
Also, since you aren't really using that many class cards, try to perhaps make a similar deck in other classes to see if it works elsewhere. I was thinking of maybe trying it in priest as well. Not sure if this will work though.
I suspect Paladin would do well with the concept, since they can inherently churn out the cheap faceless bros for the Cult Master and Geist to work with. They've also got some solid board-wipe options. And for folks who really want this deck to be playing with eggs, pallies have the big egg right now...
Hello all, first time poster, and this is the first deck I've put here on the site:

Put some eggs in to fit the theme. Keep it up
YeahScarab Egg and Devilsaur Egg would both be really good in this deck.
Sanguine Reveler could also be a nice activator too.
I don't have something witty about this deck, I just like it because Malygos is fun.
