It seems to me that Blizzard cant win. If the release is to long, people complain, if the release is fast, people complain. But I agree letting streamers play cards we cant is a bad move on Blizzards part.

 i think the sentence you're looking for is "people complain"

.

 So i ran over some ideas with this, and what do you think about this list?

I think its more reserved while still pushing heavy for draw and synergies. the idea is to get out some pogos while also shuffling them. not just focusing on the shuffles.

 as a example, I plan to run here in my pogo deck, and with them on the board, play here into copying at least two.

they added techs against that now though. sabotuer will wreck most mechathun decks. i think you could run a heavy tech warlock deck to decimate OTK's at a glance.

at the risk of seeming like im butchering your list, i suppose I had.

Here is what im thinking. i understand taking out  Tak seems crazy, but I'm thinking the consistency goes way down spread out so far on the obvious win condition of this deck: Giant pogos.

while Tak is a great addition, i think the cost is just to big to justify him. while he an obvious tool, he requires one of your pogos to stick, but one of the biggest short comings was  with other lists already out there, getting the pogos to stick. even when you were spamming them them Valerra the hollow, they didnt seem to stick. also i think togwaggles scheme as well as bouncing and Zola'ing your pogos will be easier with the Pick, daring escape, and the barista without having to double shuffle.

I may end up play testing this version. I already heavily considered jepetto as an inclusion due to his obvious synergy with SotS, and the draw has been increased with re-adding prep to get those shuffles to stick. but i may end up putting in Tak instead of him for the synergy If the pogos are easily staying in hand.

I think with the pick, daring escape, the barista there will be many bounces shuffles and copies. this list is cheaper to run before i would double down with the other inclusions personally.

hope to hear your thoughts.

any concern of the viablity of swapping out the gatekeepers for other minion pickers? while myras works as a hail mary, wouldnt other options work not to possible coin flip into a loss if you havent pulled your pogos?

also, i think this is gonna be shuffle heavy, which is great, but wouldnt daring escape work better without the barista? i think you included her as another option to Zola a pogo, but isnt this list getting pretty heavy on shuffles.

Im probably gonna double down on sprint, and include the joybuzz as a turn 8 Pogo finder. interested to hear your thoughts

What are you thoughts on taking out the shiv and putting in Jepetto Joybuzz as a late game minion pull as well as a power play?

so I really like the look of this list. Jepetto seems a really good minstrel in the late game, and the pogos wont really mind being 1/1's, however there are so many other combo breakers being added that Zihi just seems like it will ruin your own plans. I plan to experiment with this list on release day. good job

I see potential in this, and the multiple ways of shuffling things into your deck and copying them, which in a vacuum seems like it will work. however, you have two win conditions here, drawing  things off of Academic, but you also clog your deck for drawing into your pogos.
