Use Kaalia of the Vast to cheat in large cards and win quickly. There is one turn 5 combo that uses Kaalia of the Vast + Master of Cruelties if an opponent cannot block. The deck is technically sub-optimal, as this was 80% constructed with cards I already had, and a budget of $60 (CAD). It can easily be made more efficient with some high-value cards, I have a second deck list that I would consider to be the much more optimal version of the deck, this is just the one I am actually running.

Ideally your starting hand you really want to have as much mana as possible and not worry about what creatures you can get out. Use your life points early (life is a resource mantra) and then as soon as able, start cheating in your board state. There is realistically enough removal/ control in the deck to likely be able to defend yourself in the early game from anything lethal.

Updates Add

  1. Removed Iona, Shield of Emeria in favour of Bloodthirster. When Bloodthirster is equipped with Helm of the Host, it creates an infinite combo that I enjoy having the option to use.
  2. Mana is being balanced based on play experience with the deck
