Motivation

How many times have you won as Daria Rune, without ever seeing Daria? The one-two combo of Levi and Piercing Rune is the best tempo package in the game. The deck's biggest weakness, though, is how often it bricks. If you don't draw the spellboosting half of your deck before the creature half, you just sit around casting overcosted Fighters and Goliaths.

What if you could cash in on the power of Levi and Piercing Rune, but in a shell streamlined for aggression? The rest of Rune's creatures are pretty underpowered anyways, so let's look at the Neutral section. Hm. Y'know, they've been pushing these cards pretty hard. Goblin, Unica, Healing Angel, Carrotman, Goblin Mage, and Feena all see play in a variety of tier 1 decks. Now, if only we could find some kind of Banner effect...

Card Choices

1 Drops 3x Goblin. Not a lot of other choices here.

2 Drops - The real meat of this deck. 3x Valkyrie's Spear. Half the cost of Banner, and almost all the effect. 3x Levi. Actually a 4-drop in disguise. 3x Unica. Basically has ward. 3x Sektor. Sometimes, the fanfare is even relevant. 3x Lyrial. Poor man's Levi.

3 Drops - These fill in the curve on turns 3 and 5. 3x Goblin Mage. Keeps your hand full of 2 drops. 3x Gourmet Emperor Khaiza. See above. 3x Healing Angel. Great for buying time against other aggro decks.

4 Drops (You don't actually run any. On turn 4, play two 2-drops instead.)

5 Drops 3x Feena. Super Floral Fencer is great in aggro. 1x Wind God. Spear #4, on a reasonable body.

Burn. You can play with the numbers here. 3x Piercing Rune. 2x Dance of Death. 2x Demonic Strike. 1x Gabriel. 1x Gilgamesh.
