Smash--pain-mar


the idea behind the deck is a hybrid between a vaath smash deck with drogon and a painmar deck with elucidator and rancour. all the 1x cards are there for options and can be interchanged with something else, im still tweaking it. the tectonic spikes works well for draw and i even got lethal with both of them. twin fang and chrysalis burst are genuinely good if played in the right scenarios and i have won games off them. the biggest problem i have with this deck so far is a weak early game where i might have to skip turn 1 (and occasionally turn 2, didnt win that game). its actually a pretty fun deck, so try it out and let me know what you would change. (as an added challenge i made it 100% in magmar faction)

Personally, I’d ditch the gazes and add another set of 2 drops. If you’re keeping it magmar, maybe gro or something?

I haven’t played it - so it’s theorycrafting by my side:

I’d cut the 3 1-drops (not Twin Fang) for a set of Gro (to fit in the 100% Magmar theme).
1 Elu, 1 Drogon and 1 Gaze for 2 Decimus and one more Twin Fang (or letting in the Bounded Lifeforce for more Smash).

So the new deck would still fit your theme.

From this point on I would cut the 2 Twin Fangs (or 1 TF and 1 BL) for 2 Iridium Scale (for the surprise-factor) and the 2 Gazes for 2 Mandrakes because looking at the curve I don’t think that much card draw is needed.
You’ll end up in a pretty standard Drogon/Decimus deck with basically Scales for Funsteel and Gro for neutral-2-drop-of-your-taste. But it’s Magmar-only - so worth a try I think.

the only problem with that is that i only have 1 twin fang

So let the Bounded Lifeforce in or play Iridium Scales for them.

Try some Silhouette Tracers and Cryptographers, they work wonders.

Silhouette Tracers + Cryptographers for a Magmar-only-deck?
