Big Deck Update:With a big help of @antilopeáureo I Replaced [[Pathfinder]] with [[Geomancer]]. [[Pathfinder]] was really solid against midrange but struggled versus hard control and hyper-aggro. [[Geomancer]] offers better site interaction against control and the [[Roots of Yggdrasil]] + [[Sinkhole]] combo. This shift also streamlines resource management against aggro by removing the strict threshold requirements of the previous build.

About The Deck

This deck started as a site destruction build, to abuse of Pathfinder's ability. Given the power that (E)(F) combination offers in terms of cheap removal and solid minions presence. So I pivoted toward a midrange path focused on draw quality. Since, [[Geomancer]] fixes the biggest weakness of this elemental combination with its no card advantage.

Key Cards

[[Assorted Animals]], [[Torrid Omphalos]], [[Book of the Dead]] and [[Morgana le Fay]].

Great Tips

Balancing the Hand: Artifacts are vital because they don't require thresholds, ensuring you have plays in the early game. It is crucial to balance your hand in mulligan with (E) and (F) spells to guarantee early-game presence and avoid being overwhelmed by the opponent.
[[Assorted Animals]] Topic: This card is simply broken in this deck. It’s one of our few ways to generate reliable card advantage and escapes from [[Garden of Eden]]. The standard way to use it is by holding it as long as possible to fetch for the maximum number of beasts you can. Though it does be countered by [[Haystack]] site. When playing against (E) decks, try to avoid having this card and [[Common Sense]] or use early one to avoid hate.The card advantage here is also described previously as draw quality because it acts as a tutor, allowing you to fetch:

[[War Horse:]] Provides extra movement for [[Pathfinder]] or 2 points damage.
[[Autumn Unicorn]]: 4 power for 3 mana; excellent for pushing damage once the board state has stabilized.
[[Root Spider]]: The [[Assorted Animals]] + [[Root Spider]] combo is essentially what drive me to play (E)(F). Disabling a high-threat minion, clearing Ward while traveling the board, or simply protecting our Pathfinder.
[[Gargantula]]: Currently one of the best removals in the game.
[[Askelon Phoenix]]: One of our primary finishers.

Pathfinder Movement

This subject is a topic in its own right; often, your positioning with it will be more important than any card you draw. When playing Pathfinder, I always try to dominate and "Strangle" the opponent's sites space. The goal is to limit the sites they can reach while you maximize your own available mana, while you always draw spells in your spellbook.

What usually makes this possible are cards like [[War Horse]], [[Siege Giant]], and [[Magellan Globe]]:

[[War Horse]]: Helps you invade the most advantageous site lines and "strangle" one side of the board.
[[Siege Giant]]: Much like the [[War Horse]], it pushes us one step ahead, allowing us to reach a void that we normally couldn't reach through standard means.
[[Magellan globe]]: This is the best card in the Deck together with flame of the first ones, but I must also warn you about the risks of [[Magellan Globe]]. While it almost always ensures we have access to sites and enables some truly broken plays, but the same applies to your opponent. If you play it too early or without the board presence to compete for those sites your opponent can easily escape the "stranglehold" you've worked to create. Another tip is always play globe in 6 or 10 space in the playmatch, to decrease the risk to lose this in [[dispel]]/[[disenchant]] spells.

Weaknesses

Threshold Issues: The deck runs two elements. Depending on how your sites are played, you might go the first few turns without playing a single card. In the mid/late game, high-threshold cards can get stuck in your hand. Sometimes one [[Sinterfee]] in a Ordinary site could devastate your entire gameplan.
When you run the game for too long without making good trades, in the mid/early game you'll lose gas, fall behind in card advantage, and risk having your avatar poorly positioned and exposed to your opponent.

Collection Guide

[[Penitent knight]] and [[Hellhounds]] are just tokens from the sites [[Forlorn Keep]] and [[Molten Maar]] respectively.
[[Angry mob]], [[Flayer]] and [[vile imp]] are removal with body, to make 2 from 1, [[Flayer]] could also remove ward and interact with stealth units.
[[Dispel]] and [[Bury]] are classic removal to artifacts, auras and annoying minions.
[[Flame strike]] occupying the [[Zap]] Slot, for finished the game in DD situation, otherwise a maybeboard [[heat ray]] and [[Fire bolts]] in this slot, not sure which is better, but I'm using [[Flame Strike]] because it's most versatile off the three.
[[Hamlet's ablaze]], is the last site destruction I run in the Deck, for tempo plays or to rumble [[thin ice]], [[troll bridge]] of water meta decks.
[[Boil]], Everyone knows how dominant Water is in the current meta. This card could be able to clear multiple threats at once, also is a huge help against the high volume of 4-power minions that can otherwise be very difficult to deal with it.
