I've been running a more refined version of this on ladder lately (thanks for the idea, by the way). I cut the Muster for Battle in my build, as that way the clown will always cost 0-2 mana as long as you don't lowroll by drawing one lens with the other. I also threw in Competitive Spirit as a way to buff the clown board for a surprise lethal. I've found the deck to work better without Y'shaarj, as it's built around the lens highroll. I also recommend adding another Rebuke to jam board clears on the combo turn, as well as Oh My Yogg! for a backup boardwipe jammer.
Lastly, I want to mention one particularly strong innovation I've found with the deck; Sword of Justice. It buffs 5 of your clowns on the combo turn, and will always corrupt a 0-2 mana clown (and being a weapon, prismatic lens can't draw it and make a clown cost 3). This leads to a particularly strong curve with turn 4 lens into a turn 5 weapon and a full board of clowns. I recommend running it alongside the angling rods you've already got, giving you four weapons that will always corrupt a clown.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the concept. It feels pretty broken at diamond 3, and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the new default prismatic lens combo.
Just waiting for someone to build Armor Vendor into a wild list with Shudderwock and Platebreaker.
Hey, thanks for featuring my clown paladin! I'm glad people have been liking it!
