What a wacky avatar [[Bladedancer]] is! This deck is centered around power-buffing cards (especially [[Overpower]] and [[Invigorate]], which go from being unplayable to some of the most efficient damage spells ever made in this deck), artifacts, and incidental lifegain. The goal here is to make something that is highlights the strength of the avatar while also being flexible to whatever situation may arise.

I'll start out by talking about the artifacts. There are really three types of artifacts in this deck:

Stones: As much as I want to work in [[Overflow]]/[[Landmass]] into this deck, I do think they may be a bit undependable. However, the faster you get your mana squared, the faster you can start hitting people. This list runs 4 of the mana trinkets, basically all it would want to run. In a pinch, any of these can also be traded with [[Trade Encampment]] for [[Amulet of Niniane]].
Suits: These are unsurprising, but this deck runs a lot of the things any Voltron-style deck usually runs: A full set of [[Torshammar Trinket]], [[Crown of the Victor]], [[Blade of Thorns]], and [[Sword and Shield]]. I think these are the best for this deck.
Support: I'm using this term loosely. [[The Rack]] can rack up damage fast. [[Ring of Morrigan]] + [[Flame of the First Ones]] sustain you, and [[Iron Shackles]] can put your opponent in a bind on what they want to use their artifact hate on. I also run a third in the collection for trading.

The minion suite is almost entirely chosen to benefit the overall gameplan. We want to use effects that punish minions, not avatars. Disabling, a la [[Root Spider]] and [[Hyperparasite]], are our friends here. Incidental lifegain is starting to get pretty good with the likes of [[Kissers of Wounds]], [[Abaddon Succubus]], and [[Maiden, Mother, Crone]], so long as a [[River of Blood]] doesn't spoil our fun. And [[Wicked Witch]] + [[Royal Bodyguard]] help shift combat to our favor, letting the Bladedancer get free or almost free removal. Besides this are, in my opinion, staples.

I've mentioned the two all-star spells, but right behind them are [[Shrink]], which for our deck is basically a one-mana kill against anything so long as we don't have to play a spell that turn, and obvious friends to earth-water [[Gigantism]] and [[Mesmerism]]. I'm also trying out [[Replication]] for now. It's pretty efficient in this deck, but it could also feel very bad if we draw it after getting [[Disenchant]]ed. We will see.

On the site side, I've already mentioned [[Trade Encampment]], which pairs extra wonderfully with our trinkets but also lets us push slower or faster with our build. We want to slow down creature builds as much as possible. That means [[Troll Bridge]]s, that means [[No Man's Land]], that means [[Pebbled Paths]], and that means [[Babbling Brook]], which would you look at that, also disable minions so we can pick them off.

Overall this deck wants to take the speed of a faster midrange deck and marry it with the non-interactivity of a Voltron deck. I'm excited to try this out and refine it from here!
