I only keep Crystal Power against Rogue and DH, those are the most likely to be Pirate Aggro and removing their Treasure Distributor is crucial to even stand a chance. The odds are still bad, but you can beat them.
If you start with a Breath of Dreams or a Splish-Splash Whelp, you obviously want a (second) dragon in Hand, so keep any dragon alongside those.
Do not keep Moonlit Guidance or 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.
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
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.
