Really enjoyed this deck, and within 8 days, I reached Legend rank :D

The reason why I said this deck is slightly cheaper is because I do not have Sphere of SapienceLorekeeper Polkelt or Jandice Barov. Instead, I swapped in The Amazing Reno for fun.

Winning Condition: Using Tortollan Pilgrim to cast Potion of Illusion , and do the infinite combo and win the game!

The key lesson I learnt from playing this deck is that you need the Sphere of Sapience to avoid drawing two copies of Potion of Illusion . But even if you do, it's not game-ending yet. You have still use Potion on minions such as Wand Thief , Wandmaker and Vulpera Scoundrel to discover cards to help! In fact, although not being able to do the infinite combo makes the game harder, this will allow you to play this deck differently and appreciate that this deck is not as linear as it looked. And you can still win without the combo!

Tips:

1) Against zoo decks, such as zoolock - Instead of using Blizzard  , use Frost Nova instead. This will choke up their board, and lead to you going face with 1/1 minions until they lose/concede.

2) Against decks that buff minions, such as pure paladin, discover spells like Spellbender , Counterspell  or Devolving Missiles to survive longer and win the game.  

3) If you draw both potions, cast them on minions that help to discover new spells! 

4) Remember to take note of your hand size if you pull off the combo - Potion of Illusion will return minions according to (1) different types and (2) the order they are being played. 

Do leave any questions you have, will update this again accordingly!
