This is a modified .v2, after learnings from SorceryCon Vegas 2024, with expectations to play at SCon Unland Cup 2025. This deck plays a bit like classic Fury Road without Earth.
Why “Patriot”?
“The Patriot” is reflective of the Red (Fire), QUASI White (missiles/ghosts) and Blue (Air), as well as all the scouts kind of reminding me of 19th Century Americana.
Tips
Try getting an air site in opening hand.
try to make sure all minions in opening hand unless Ring (?).
Plan for mid-range, play more sites in the beginning, and use your initial spells to just not fall behind. At 5-7 mana (including towers) it’s 2 spells per turn! 6 sites on the table is probably optimum, and I’m looking at options to boost (cores, Imperial Road, etc.)

——————————-
Basilisks were a surprising MVP at SCon. Albeit with synergies, I removed them and Ablazes as they were just too slow. Siege Giants got abandoned for the same reason.
