PROS:

  • Insanely fast steamrolls / counter-pressure
  • Sometimes, the deck practically plays itself

CONS:

  • Can easily lose to weapon destruction, or just to terrible draw order (I actually lost a game I was winning vs. a pirate warrior who generated a Kobold Stickyfinger)
  • If it becomes popular, weapon destruction will become more common

ABOUT:

On average, this deck was able to close out games by turn 7. Earliest win was when my opponent conceded to me having a 4/2 weapon, a Vulpera Toxinblade and a Dread Corsair on board on turn 3 (turn 2 was Buccaneer + Kingsbane)... But my earliest actual kill was around turn 5 or 6.

In one of my longer matchups (turn 10+), I even managed to destroy a reno priest after he played Reno Jackson at 2 health by continuing to scale my weapon and burning him down with Eviscerates and random card generation. Reno just didn't do enough.

SUBSTITUTIONS:

If you feel your card draw is good enough, but your tempo/control game isn't, you can substitute -1 Cutting Class for +1 Coerce.

Another possible substitute is -2 Southsea Squidface for either +2 Naga Corsair or +2 Tinker's Sharpsword Oil. I use Southsea Squidfaces to force the opponent to second guess using board clears. As long as you have a weapon up, they typically don't want it to die, which means it can get some chip damage in.

I'm a little "on the fence" about Wand Thief. Some games, it just wins for you via burn damage, freezes, secrets, casino mage shenanigans, etc... And other games, it feels like it does nothing. But since the winrate I posted used them, I left them in the list. Feel free to experiment with other cards instead.
