Decks

This is probably one of my favorite decks from the expansion so far! It's pretty cheap to build and it uses Grand Finale as a really strong finisher and has some amazing Forge cards that let you go over the top with face damage.

What to Burn:

We kinda want to burn our forge cards to activate those sweet alternate abilities as well as to have 3 forged minions for Grand Finale when turn 7 rolls around.

Establish the board as early as possible and go face.

The Removal Package:

Racers/rushers, Mindfreak, Amnesia, Crucible Flare and aggravated injury will do the job fine until we can get our Risens and Elly's out which can trade and do demise face damage.

The Synergies:

The most obvious one here is the Grand Finale finisher with the high mana cost forge cards. Emperor Koi is really nice when it hits rushers, especially panic raider. The demise effects off of Risen and Elly really help close out the games and we can even trigger them with Wings of Abaddon. The awaken on Risen makes it insanely hard for our opponents to deal with. Finally, the +2/+2 buff of Koi is permanent so we get to replay the buffed minions from Journey of Souls! Terror of Ker is a nice finisher to sacrifice our demise creatures for a sudden lethal.

Honorable Mentions:

Gama Sennin is a great card that can be recurring threat and drive our opponents mad if they have no way to permanently deal with it and gives us souls every time they kill it.
