Love the list! Thoughts on -1 Aldor +1 equality? I see aldor as "soft" signle target removal, why not have a more consistent combo with City Tax/Conc/Roame/Brasswing? Or is the 3/3 body THAT relevant?
Hey there! Very cool list. I'm playing around with something similar, and I have a few thoughts/questions on your list. The main difference being that I'm running x2 of Devouring Plague and Gift of the Naaru, which you have already mentioned you don't have. So I'll skip that and stick to the questions!
1. I'm currently running 1 Raise Dead, but I can definitively see the benefit of running two. Playing an early Bloodweaver as a must kill threat (while also corrupting our Insights) is a much safer play with x2 copies. What I am curious about is running Raise Dead with x2 Draconic Stuides. IMO this card clogs your hand with unnecessary dragons (which while you're trying to go off with with Bloodweavers, they can steal essential discounts from your other spells). If you're just looking for discounts on Kazamacus + Malygoose I think replacing Draconic Studies with literally ANY other cheap spell while you're comboing off with Bloodweavers is better.
2. Malygoose + Fortitude combo: I feel this package is lacking, especially as Maly really clogs our draw off Insight. Having Bloodweaver cost only 1 mana is ESSENTIAL to pulling off an early combo kill. Personally I'm running Auctioneer instead to repeatedly draw more cards rather than refilling my hand 1 time. I understand that Fortitude can reduce it's cost significantly, but why not play another card with a low cost WITHOUT having a conditional cost reductiion? Again, I am aware you can't run Gift of Naaru.
3. Psychic Split: Do you find this fires enough times? I personally haven't tried it, and I would love to hear your thoughts on it's inclusion. There's been times where casting a non-discounted 3 mana Gift of Luminosity is back breaking, I could only imagine a 5 cost Split. On the other hand, I have accidentally killed my 1/1s with Devouring Plague in the early learning stages of the deck, perhaps the extra stats are worth while!
I love the deck, and I really like the little tech pieces you've added to help the bad match ups. My question: Why play this in Wild instead of Standard? %90 of the architype is in Standard, with less powerful decks and better match ups.
That is HILARIOUS. I wonder if Arfus does the same, instead of shuffling in the Deathknight cards.

1. Which specific minions are required?
2. Which cards do they shuffle in?

Cheers for posting this fun list!
