Credits to @Goodluckbad's (BUT SCARY GOOD) deck for the original idea.

Ended up 4-3 with this list because of misplays, but other than that the deck was indeed very strong.

Thoughts:

+ [[Lord Of Lies]] got cut due to the errata. No regrets.

+ [[Onyx Core]] was added to increase the chance of drawing core turn 0/1. I won every game with it in the starting hand (2/4 wins)

+ [[Kelp Cavern]] is quite clutch if you mulligan 1-ofs like [[Drown]] or [[Ice Lance]], but I'd prefer a 13th river over it (i.e. [[Winter River]]).

+ [[Babbling Brook]] really helped with the aggro matchups, at the cost of [[River of Blood]]. Given that I faced 4 decks with [[Divine Healing]], that choice was really bad, but I didn't mind either because it won me a game so it was worth it.

+ [[Silence]] was a really versatile tech card to bail you out of a lot of bad situations, but really hard to use without hurting your game plan as well.

Big thanks to Jesse and the Plenty of Games store for hosting the event and providing best-of prizings for individual avatar with a positive record!

I had a great time playing [[Spellslinger]] in constructed. Highly recommended!
