While I did win some games with the deck it just felt average. It felt like a bad midrange deck that lost to all of the top tier decks of the format. The fixing strangers were also overkill. The influence requirements were not that steep and we could have expanded into a fourth faction easily.

The deck lacked a Cohesive gameplan, besides play lots of strangers and hopefully make them big. Chalice is already doing that and is much better at it. It also has additional win conditions in the form of Channel the Tempest. It’s tempting to click that delete button, but don’t do that! Just export it, throw it up on EternalWarcry and mark it as a work in progress. I put the deck away for a few weeks and decided to come back to it.

When I returned to the deck I decided to approach it from a new angle. Ok so we can play all of our units from the top of the deck, we’ve “Lords” that buff all of our units and we have ways to give those units haste. Could this actually be a combo deck?
