Hey everyone here is my not ideal persecutor build. I built it with all the cards that I pulled so far. Not a single single went into this deck. But it feels powerful anyway. Not a lot of people to test it against though around my area. T_T

Anyway lets get into the tech.

rough strategic overview

This deck is an aggro build that was originally tweaked to withstand a controlly archimago. It contains a lot of charge minions and cheap demons that let us deal big damage pretty early.

Basically we just want to ramp up to 5 sites. The two 5 Mana spells are Poison Nova and Asmodeus , everything else is 4 Mana or less so that we are potentially able to throw a torshammar trinket in every round.

After we placed our last site we should play pro active with the persecutor. We us his ability to move around the realm with the help of our evil minions that are plenty in this deck, to strike for two, casts spells where we need them or flee from vicious attacks. The persecutor is quite mobile if needed. Saved my ass not only once.

deathsdoor is somethig that this deck isn't scared about. We can just flood the realm with cheap demons when at deathsdoor, not worrying about the bloodpact that we have with them.

Auras:

Castle Ablaze

good against annoying sites. Can be used to push enemy minions somewhere strategically advantageous for me. At best deals with an annoying site and removes minions. it has a high ceiling in the right situation.

Artifacts:

Minions:

Frontier Settlers

Let's see how they perform. If they don't perform well They will get replaced with another kettletop leprechaun.

Kettletop Leprechaun

2 for 2 and lets us draw a side so that we can draw a spell instead of drawing a site during ramping phase? we definitely want this guy in our starting hand.

Lesser Blood Demon

2 for 3 and 2 life is a great deal considering that we can release it on turn two. When we go first it doesn't even matter that it doesn' have charge since our opponents sits can't be connected to our sites already. So next turn we usually hit for 3.

Redmane Hyena

Graveyard hate and also potentially a big hitter for 2. We love that.

Vile Imp

Very efficient in disrupting attempts for first contact that our opponent might throw at us.

Wild Fanatic

A pet card. I really love him. He is a fanatic like the persecutor and will do so much damage on your opponent. With 4 copies of him in the deck it's not unusual to cast him 2-3 times each game. Also a starting hand favorite, especially good when you are second. Since the sites in the realm are usually connected then and we can instantly hit for two. Edit: cut him to 3 copies.

Màzuj Ifrit

Beefy boy and harder to interact with thanks to airborne. good to speed up the mid game.

Redcap Powries

turn three favortie

Slobbermaw

Another turn three fave. Even better if you are able to feed it a foot soldier.

Tragedy Worrywart OR Varistus the evictor OR Pied Piper of Halem

Archimago defense

OR Harbringer defense

OR Necromancer defense

Greater Blood Demon

This guy combined with a grim guisarme is 12 damage on the board. With a horn of caerleon even instantly…

Monstrous Lion

and screaming skull.

Sir Priamus

in MTG I run a first srike deathtouch commander deck that works pretty well. couldn't withstand putting him in when I pulled him. I think he is not ideal but he is lots of fun. :)

Asmodeus

Good for dealing with annoying sites. Recently pulled him. 3 fire pips seem a little high, but usually it shouldn't be an issue in this deck. Lets see how he performs.

Magic

Common Sense

Not sure if should run common sense either since I included haystack in my atlas. However being able to search for a dispel if needed comes in more than handy.

Dispel

naturally (Could also move entirely into the Collection… However I like the odds a littler higher to find the removal at the time that I need it. If you have thoughts on that let me know in the comments.)

Bury (may gets exchanged with cave in)

Whats more important than running removal?(Could also move entirely into the Collection… However I like the odds a littler higher to find the removal at the time that I need it. If you have thoughts on that let me know in the comments.)

Firebolts

deals with weenies, power 3 minions and is a potential finisher

Gift of the Wolf

drawing cards is great +2 power is even greater

Begone!

This removal is top tier especially combined with persecutor. You can target ignoring zone rules. Incredible strong!

Blaze of Glory

great removal especially combined with any minion and grim guisarme.

Flame Strike

great finisher especially combined with persecutors mobility

Searing Truth

Since we have a low curve and love to pay for our stuff with llife, it's a very efficient card draw spell. But also a very efficient DD finisher.

Leap Attack

A nerfed blaze of glory. Still pretty handy in some situations. Probably gets exchanged for warp spasm as soon as I get my hands on it.

Betrayal

Very versatile spell. Love to turn annoying minions against their caster. potentially also a finisher.

Lava Flow

Great removal with the persecutor. Also a potential finisher.

Poison Nova

Piss off with border militia and raise militia and everything else you put on the board. Absolute staple for every active Avatar and Voltron tactics.

Atlas

Collection

Pit Vipers

to deal with rootspiders

Dispel

twice the charm

Gift of the wolf

thrice the charm

Mad Dash

I kinda like it but I might exchange it with charge

Boil

to deal with annyoing submergers

Bury

twice the charm

Flame Strike

great removal great finisher

Lash

whipping my Grim Guisarme wielding greater blood demon into doing 24 damag in one turn seems reasonable. Maybe a win more card? I don't give shit. The flavor is on point!

Smite

another great removal and finsiher. Might get cut since casting cost with toolbox is six mana and we just ramp to five. Might still reasonable as a finisher.
