Mulligans
Midrange Mulligans
Sphere of Sapience is the go-to, if available; you want to be able to adapt to your opponent, and this card provides that opportunity. You lose out on single poke damage from your weapon when utilizing this card, but it gives too great of value to pass on and will often be the difference between you drawing that game winning card or not. Blackjack Stunner and Cult Neophyte are used to slow your opponent down while you make use of Efficient Octo-bot and Sparkjoy Cheat to thrust yourself into power and start comboing your cards; the goal being either to flood your side with secrets in tandem with Shadowjeweler Hanar, or to allow setup to stall until you get the cards you need. We don't mulligan for Shadowjeweler due to the fact that you want to use him when you can combo your secrets; if you use him too early and he dies, you won't be capable of stacking those late game secrets which often result in a game victory, or even a concede from your opponent.
This deck has great early game presence and control with cards like Sphere of Sapience (my personal favorite mulligan card for this deck) allowing for flexible playing, and cards that allow the use of other classes cards like Wand Thief and ultimately, Shadowjeweler Hanar. Things like Cult Neophyte and Blackjack Stunner are used to slow your opponent down until you can start hitting your consistent poke combos post 4 mana. This deck is extraordinarily fun, and every card synergizes with the others in ways that can result in your hand being massive, costing less, and chaining other classes secrets until your opponent just doesn’t want to deal with you anymore. For those games that last long enough for you to make it late, your secret control and potential 10 cost golem drop should secure you the victory. I hope you enjoy the deck! It has amazing control and versatility, and is insanely amusing to play with, without sacrificing win rate.
