You might be wondering… WHERES TESS? SHES SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN STAR!!! And well, you would be 100% correct if the meta wasn’t so infested with hunters and aggro based decks. What I’m trying to say is, there’s really no room for Tess in this deck, 8 mana is a huge price to pay and plus in order to use her she has to be worth it. By making her worth it (playing a bunch of different class cards before hand to use them again when she is played) you have to wait A LONG TIME and well in this meta, time is the last thing we have! By turn 7 or 8 chances are odd rogue or hunter will already be licking their fingers to kill you ???? so yeah it might seem weird that the main star isn’t in the deck but the deck actually runs MUCH smoother without her and the deck feels much faster! This deck is more for fun and can actually help you climb rank before rank 5! Here are the cards you must have ( without these the deck can’t even function!) DECK ESSENTIALS: x2 Academic Espionage, x2 Spectral Cutlass, x2preparations and x2Vilespine Slayer. Valeera isn’t 100% required but she will make this deck SOOO MUCH BETTER! PURPOSE OF SPECTRAL CUTLASS: since this deck doesn’t have any big taunt minions (unless espionage gives you them) you will be taking A LOT of damage so spectral cutlass will basically help you not die???? trust me, it’s kept me alive almost every game. Also 2 is recommended since your opponent probably will find a way to break one. PURPOSE OF PREPARATION: Preparation is by far the MVP of this deck! It allows for so much speed! Think about 1 mana espionage, 4 mana sprint, 3 mana vanish!!! How can you not be convinced yet?!? PURPOSE OF THE REST OF THE CARDS: the rest of the cards allow for lots of drawing, board removal, combo card initiators, and the minions help maintain a small field meanwhile you get your big one mana boss cards! I hope you guys enjoy the deck! ITS A LOT OF FUN
