This deck is extremely aggressive and based on two combos which work together. The first uses an evolving one drop (experiment one, cloudfin raptor, or the new pelt collector), followed by an undying creature (young wolf or strangle rootgeist) which we then pongify. Since we have effectively 8 copies of pongify this combo is pretty smooth and can create a 3/4, a 3/3, and a 2/2 on turn 2 through correct evolve triggering.The second combo is based on vexing devil. No matter which option is chosen, it will trigger evolve on the relevant creatures, and double evolve for pelt collector. Based on these speedy combos and the assured damage of bolting, the deck hopes to put up a clear lethal by turn 4 or 5. Alternatively, if none of the combos work out in the opening hand, hardened scales can create an effective go tall strategy to steal a win. Avatar of the Resolute is just a crazy big two drop that can come down on turn 4 as a 7/6 evolve triggerer and seal the deal. Please help this deck I’m trying to hard commit aggro game one.
