Hi all,
Some minor background info: I actually haven't touched this game for almost a full year. Prior to that I never really managed to get a rating above 300. This December I decided to pick up the game again and played quite a bit to familiarize myself with the current state of the meta as well as the new Lost lands cards. I managed to get to a ~295 rating (mostly copying other decks, including Burnout's Victor), but it wasn't until I started to play with Ythan that I managed to get a 300 rating, which quickly improved when I started tinkering the deck to what it is today. I finished last season with a 338 rating which was achieved mid-to-end season, so I think the deck is pretty decent. I'm just looking to improve it and have run out of options myself. Perhaps more experienced players can take this deck to even higher levels.
Also, you will find this deck ended up largely being inspired by this deck http://www.shadowera.com/showthread....-toolbox-Ythan. Initially it wasn't my intend to use homunculous in this deck, but I had been using Thunderstrike Construct for the ping damage and it really felt like a waste to not abuse his buff to an ally on board.
Early versions included Aldon, Tainted Oracle, Sabreen, Puwen and Retreat! as well as different quantities of current cards.

Biggest concern with the deck is that I don't like Twilight Opportunist, but it seems that if I can't pull Vigilant Wisp this is my best answer to deal with T2 Feasterling. I really want to take the Opportunist out but I can't think of anything that would work better.
Hardest matchups:
Any Garth deck - Garth decks in particular are hard because the deck has to work its way through Anklebreaker and Spirit Shuriken.
Semi Solo Threbin variants - Hero ability + Holy Shield + Tidal Wave are tough to beat, I have to lure a Tidal Wave and then immediately follow up with Nathanias (who hopefully comes with a strong companion).
Zaladar Shard of Power variants - Brax doesn't quite stop this because of MC
Exaltation Elementalis - T5 Exaltation will make me lose the game as this deck is fighting for the board between T4-T6
Anmor's Call Victor variants - early draw of Anmor's Call drops my win chance a lot, however if they don't draw it early (which is a fair chance considering those decks require around 60 cards to operate) I can beat Victor somewhat convincingly.
Any insight on how to improve this deck is appreciated. Im also open to answer any questions regarding the deck.
