This deck started off as a passion project for but quickly realized that it could compete competitively against other top ranked decks.
Why Does This Deck Perform Well?
This deck focuses on trying to remove your opponents minions using minions and sites that still provide a benefit to you and that you're opponent must deal with. Build up your mana base with defensive sites and then start using combinations of minions, deserts and magic damage to take out your opponents minions is key to winning with this deck. Start double drawing once you have 5-6 sites down depending on you're hand and if you got Philosopher's Stone. Once you're opponent starts using up all their cards is when you can go all in for aggression since they likely won't have enough minions or spells to keep up with your weaker guys and drawing 2 spells per tun with Sorcerer. Everything in the deck is cheap at 3 or under to be able to play those 2 spells per turn as well
