The Life of A Duelyst that Never Went Past Gold - Magmar
It’s a solid card overall. It’s definitely not slow when you consider minions that have hatched from eggs gain rush. Use it on Rippers and Raptyrs and it’ll work wonders.
Egg Ragnora shouldn’t focus on swarm, they should focus on high amounts of burst with Rippers. Rex does have Rebirth, but it’s overall a weak card, and Razor Skin is merely a tech in some Hatefurnace decks.
Some draw cards like Sojouner or Insight may substitute Spelljammer, but there’s really nothing like it. It’s a great card and is used in many decks, so you should try and get some eventually. For Progenitor, there’s no legitimate replacement. I would definitely recommend crafting it too, even if it may take some time.
Amplification is situational, and it’s not ideal to use on Rippers. It’s an option in Hatefurnace decks, but that’s really it.

Replace the Razor Skins with 3 Wild Inceptors and reduce the dampening waves by 1 for another Egg Morph and one less Veteran Silithar for one more Makantor.

I was wondering, right, since I outperformed my deck’s usuals (based on your analysis), it seems that hyperswarm Magmar works really well in Silver, which got me thinking: What if I went all the way back and create a swarm deck with Starhorn Battle Pets or Ragnora Battle Pets hybridding sticking cards like Young Silithar and Amplification?
Where is Ragebinder, the ‘better Veteran Silithar’?
As a guideline you should have 9 X 2 drops for a P1 start. I know you could equip an artifact instead but you have less than the usual 2 drops, so harder to take the mana tile next turn, which means harder to play an early Veteran (4 drop).
Priority crafting for Magmar is always Makantor. Get a third one when you can.
PS: Praying to Makantor will greatly increase your win rate

Interesting idea, but Battle Pets are really weak at the moment. I’m sure you can try, but keep in mind it will be costly as you’ll most likely need Nature’s Confluence.
What’s wrong with me? I always read your username as buying goats

Tech for wanderer (ragnora) which i kinda expected to play vs from quarters to the end. It comes down earlier than jugg or event, in step with wanderer itself, has a tough to remove body, crucially makes it so your eggs trade back into their rippers, which when they also have forcefield is game-winning.
In the end I think my setup ended up to be not so good as though in my set vs makuta it did it’s job perfectly, other competitors eliminated their wanderer opponents and my slower version of eggs had a few struggles in the other sets that a more aggressive list may not have. On the other hand without that greedy game plan I may not have gotten past makuta at all, so I can’t be too disappointed with the end result. I stand by my choices.

I think your greedy list has actually a better matchup against Fault, which was useful against spammer.

yes, having an extra rebuke and 3 plasmas available in 4 out of 5 games meant I had a pretty clear strategy and a little leeway to execute it before getting buried under the poop. But I do think though that the series probably should have gone 3-2 in his favour if I’m honest. If i knew 100% that I would run into him I could have had an even better setup.

There were some decisive misplays of him which gave you the opportunity to win but that’s also part of becoming a (almost) grandmaster I think, playing well / optimal under the high pressure of a tournament.
So you deserved your win all in all.
