Revamped Build —July 7, 2022
Changes:
- Goldhound beats Forsworn Paladin for a 1-drop Menace creature, plus he doubles as mana to help squeeze things out faster; easy switch.
- Blade of the Oni is a nice 2-drop Menace creature; not bad for a non-Legendary at all (even if it doesn't Reconfigure another creature). Added 3 of these.
- Pestilent Spirit is a MUCH more threatening 3-drop than Sonorous Howlbonder. I've also increased the number of damage-based sorceries (4x End the Festivities and 2x Blazing Volley to help really play into his Deathtouch effect. (Thanks again Gingervitis for that suggestion!)
- Dreadhorde Butcher and the Fling combo are real nice and all, but they only hit one target unlike the sorceries I can use with Pestilent Spirit, so for now these are phased out of this build.
- Call of the Death-Dweller and Light Up the Stage are now on the sideboard, generally swapping out for Professor's Warning slots if I don't need much creature damage protection, or Feed the Swarm slots if Enchantment destruction isn't super-important
