    Garth Control Deck Help Please

    This is my Garth deck, please could you post suggestions, strategy is below deck! Thanks in advance!

    ***HERO***
    Garth Ravensoul

    ***Allies (24)***
    4x Jasmine Rosecult
    4x Kristoffer Wyld
    4x Raven Wildheart
    4x Aldon the Brave
    4x Marshland Sentinel
    4x Skilled Ironmonger

    ***Abilities (10)***
    4x Assassination
    2x Mugged!
    4x Retreat!

    ***Items (2)***
    2x Ill-Gotten Gains

    ***Weapons (4)***
    4x Anklebreaker

    TOTAL: 40 cards + Hero


    So the aim of this deck is to control the allies the opponent plays AFTER he plays them. This is supported by almost all of the cards in the deck bar ill-gotten gains, & aldon the brave. Kristoff is in there so I can get assassinations if my opponent has board control, and skilled ironmonger is there as a decent 2cc card and a buff to anklebreaker as well. Did consider Zoe Silversmith, but Ironmonger is 2cc and to me that makes him more useful. The turn by turn aim is:

    T1 nothing
    T2 skilled ironmonger
    T3 jasmine rosecult/ aldon
    T4 marshland sentinel
    T5 anklebreaker/ Raven Wildheart
    T6+ Kristoffs+assassination or skilled ironmonger/ alsdon

    I'm no pro at deck building, but I guess my first suggestion would be to increase your card draw. Do you find that you top deck alot? I would go with 4 Ill Gotten Gains for sure. What are the problems you face with this deck?

    lol that was my bad bro, Hunter's Gambit is a Hunter card, not rogue, so Garth can't use it. My mistake.

    Lol Hunter's Gambit is for hunters.
    But he is right you need more draw power.
    You should add 2 IGG and another draw like Tainted Oracle or Road less travelled. Stop Thief! Is a must for rogues.
    Also Viska for Garth.
    You could use Garth's Concution instead of the kris Assasination combo.
    I can see that you used the deck with lance but with garth Raven and Marshland Sentinel will not be helpful.

    Exactly what maxi said, Tainted Oracle is nice as a board presence and gives you some card draw. I might also recommend Sword Thief, it's a nice way to buy time to deal with opposing allies. And Garth's Concoction could work as well.

    Definitely needs more draw. You need to use 4 x Ill-Gotten Gains and I'd run with Night Owl as supplementary draw. Work in Sword Thief and Garth's Concoction to assist with board control and replace Raven Wildheart and Marshland Sentinel with other fatties like Braxnorian Soldier and Viska. You could also use some Tech like Stop, Thief! A Legend Rises and Spelleater Bands to round the deck out.
