Mulligan Guide

General

I only keep [card_link name="Crystal Power"] against Rogue and DH, those are the most likely to be Pirate Aggro and removing their [card_link name="Treasure Distributor"] is crucial to even stand a chance. The odds are still bad, but you can beat them.

If you start with a [card_link name="Breath of Dreams"] or a [card_link name="Splish-Splash Whelp"], you obviously want a (second) dragon in Hand, so keep any dragon alongside those.

Do not keep [card_link name="Moonlit Guidance"] or [card_link name="Aquatic Form"].
They're much better later on, when you cycle through your deck. Moonlit Guidance into Aquatic Form is so powerful and can easily draw you 6 cards in a single turn.

Deck Description

You could call this my main deck at the moment. It got me into Legend in early August and into diamond 3 this season, then I changed decks. You can OTK the opponent as early as turn 6 if you draw perfect and start with a coin.

It has undergone a few changes, for example I replaced Gorgonzormu with Amber Whelp. Gorgonzormu is just too slow, you could play him for 2 drops maybe, but it doesn't help the deck's agenda at all, which is ramp, draw, remove a few things early so you don't die. Amber Whelp at least removes something and fits the curve better than the more expensive Spinetail Drake.

I also added Frizz Kindleroost, which can reduce Malygos to 7
and make Nestmatrons refresh more than they cost. If you don't have
her, replace her with another Amber Whelp.

Removing one Crystal Power for a second Amber
Whelp is also something I've considered, but I like having the option to
heal myself and to test against Counterspell or
Oh My Yogg! before playing Breath of<br /> Dreams.

Also the Mini Chia Drake is sometimes better kept in Hand, in case the opponent has a Mutanus the Devourer or Patchwerk , so Malygos isn't our only minion in hand. I never play Mistah Vistah for the same reason, so with those 3 in Hand it's a 33% chance to hit Malygos rather than 100%.

You can waste one Seabreeze Chalice early to clear, but it might be missing later.

ETC Band Manager Sideboard:
- Moonfire I mostly pick this, if I don't need the other options, to have an extra 6 damage to the face. Together with two Moonbeams I can deal 30. I don't include it in the deck itself, because it's such a dead draw.
- Steamcleaner A good include to clean your deck from Plagues, Bombs and Framed, and possibly to clean the opponent's deck.
- Eater of Secrets To destroy Ice Block on the combo turn or multiple secrets in mid game.
