Winning Streak! —Oct. 2, 2022

I'm up to 7 wins in a row with this beast in ranked Explorer. Taking a break for the day so as not to upset Lady Luck too much, but this build is remarkably fun to play.

The most satisfying wins are those where I lockdown "Lowbrow Lifegain" decks with Knight of Dusk's Shadow.

I think the highlight of this streak so far was against mono-white who was not only locked down with the Knight but also Valentin, Dean of the Vein  ^Flip and Pestilent Spirit in play. Opponent had a fully developed boardstate of weenie lifegainers plus an Ao, the Dawn Sky in play. Drew 1 Blazing Volley and exiled his entire boardstate, also bypassing Ao's death trigger with Valentin. Even got to pay Valentin's extra cost (twice in 1 turn!) which is a real rarity. Opponent stuck out the attack but conceded after their draw.
