BLUF: Aggro + Control = Fun

Goal: is to get to 6-7 mana to stabilize then spam 2 beefy minions a turn.

# Deck Breakdown

## Minions

Depending on opponent and board state, can tune your play style to be more aggro or control-ly.

Lower cost minions will:

• put combat pressure with Deathrite abilities Kettletop Leprechaun or Pookas,
• put life pressure with charge minions Saracen Raiders or Redcap Powries
• control Arjaro Exorcist, Vile Imp, Root Spider

High cost minions are for stabilizing because of their board wipe tendencies, a la [[Death Dealer] or Balor of the Evil Eye

## Magics

Magics are more control-oriented, but I'm thinking of removing Gift of the Serpent, I usually didn't need the draw. May depend on the meta if you find yourself getting more and more 4-power minions on enemy side, but combo of the 3-power Charge minions or control spiders, should be sufficient. Would definitely add 1x Blaze of Glory . And potentially Ruby Core and Onyx Core,

## Artifact

Really hoping to get River of Blood early, so no need for but even if not, we either stabilize with Key to the City or drop a big guy with Four Waters of Paradise.

Torrid Omphalos is for that third minion drop if you find yourself having more mana. 3 minion turns are nice.

## Auras

I like the Crusade even if I have less minions. Very useful for spider plays to control, while you stabilize.

## Sites

Boulevard of Bones is just fun and allows you to put some pressure.

Imperial Road for ramping

Other than that, nothing too different.

## Collection

Just put something quickly together. Most susceptible to change.

# Playstyle Breakdown

Just put us much pressure as possible with your minions, in that your opponent has to answer them.

Control/remove 3-power threats ASAP, you won't be able to stabilize fast enough if they're not answered

Once stabilized, you're good to go.

Because of that, I usually wouldn't even do Morgana Le Fay on turn 3. I'd want to cast something form her hand that same turn
