Zaladar, Alpha Strike

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_strike_%28gaming%29
An alpha strike is a competitive gaming term, denoting an all-out attack launched in hopes of achieving a decisive advantage.This is usually considered a risky tactic, as if the attacker fails to gain a decisive advantage, it can leave the attacker's units overextended and vulnerable to counter-attack.

So the idea come from Blanket Effect Feedbomb Legacy deck.
I mean, I was thinking what modification it could have with the addition of SF cards?

So this is the best result I've got so far:

***HERO***
Zaladar

***Allies (12)***
4x Frostmare
4x Rampant Krygon
4x Ravager Zealot

***Abilities (21)***
4x Feedback
1x Eternal Renewal
2x Bloodlust
4x Bad Santa
2x Super Focus
4x Word of the Prophet
4x Mimic

***Items (16)***
2x Shard of Power
4x Bazaar
4x Crystal Shards
2x Thoughtful Investment
4x Loom of Fate

TOTAL: 49 cards + Hero

Thanks for Busti, for the idea using Shard of Power. Iam not aware of that card when I was tweaking this deck for the first time.
(I was tired testing this deck, then for refreshment I look some finished QM in test server. It was TJ Nataku Vs Busti. And busti was using a deck with shard of powered hasted creature :))

How to play it:

Well, I havent meet any rush deck so far in QM, so I dont know if it can stand any.
But, if u still live and got 8 or nine resource, u can start rolling out ur cards: Hasted ally, bad santa, feedback, mimic, shard, bloodlust, etc.
Just remember to save 3 resource to cast feedback

With Shard and Bloodlust in play, u need about 5 Allies to deal lethal dmg to opponent Hero in 1 turn.

Special mention to Mimic, it just like u got 8 feedback and 8 bad santa in ur deck when it starting to roll out.

Need to do more test. Ill update about the result later :)

Changelog:
I tried replacing 4 conduit with 4 Crystal Shard. In some way it work better but I was afraid discarding key cards like shard of power etc.

I add another Super Focus, since I occasionaly casting Haste ally before reaching 9 resource.
Either to reduce opponent HP, or kill dangerous ally. But, I recommend u to keep aiming the Hero and ignore opponent's ally as much as possible.

Test result:
Not a surprise, this deck afraid Braxnorian Soldier and Voice of Winter very much:p But I havent have any interest to add any solution for them yet. Maybe a Mind Control and a LLN could do the trick later.
Sometimes, mimic can provide the solution u need from enemy graveyard.

Word of Prophet is very usefull to recycle ur extra copy of artifact.
since the deck bring many card drawer, its always a good choice to use word prophet on T1. Try to find basic items u can cast before T9: bazaar, loom of fate, shards of power, Thoughtful Investment.

I find a nice synergies between Super Focus, Shards of Power, and Rampant Krygon:
I can cast an ally, attack, cast Rampant, use it ability to kill the first ally, attack with it, then repeat.

Usualy I can deal about 20 dmg or more with 9 resource. So make sure u got the rest of opponent's HP lost before T9 :)

I've seen a few haste Zaladars running around (Preybird's is particularly strong) but I really like this of mixing in a feedbomb element :) I think I'll try it out...
