Beginning player - advice on 40 Zal deck

[Tuhala]

So, I started playing last Friday and have really begun to love this game. I've played around with a few decks, but here's a 40 card Zal deck I'd really like advice on.

Hero

1x Zaladar

Allies

4x Keldor
4x Infernal Gargoyle
2x Brutalis
4x Plasma Behemoth
3x Belladonna
2x Medusil

Abilities

2x Soul Reaper
4x Mind Control
2x Life Infusion
2x Bloodlust
4x Shriek of Vengeance
4x Bad Santa
2x Here Be Monsters



Should I trade out the Bad Santas for more Life Infusions? Do I have too many Mind Controls (really, really love that ability)? Trade out Medusil for more Brutalis? I'm still learning, so any advice is welcome. Cheers!

Decent build.

Remove HBM for Life Infusions. Do not remove MC. Consider 2 Discharge. 4 Santa good.

I would remove Bella and put in Chimera. Bella's too weak. But not an essential change.

You will want to do this:

T2: Brut
T3: Keldor/Garg
T4: Bella/Chimera - Zala's blast
T5: MC / PB - Zala's blast

I personally do not like Brut. Weak in late game.

U don't have sparks - I like it. too weak and too situational.

The deck will do relatively well in 40 card format. With many players still playing at 30, this deck will be at huge disadvantage.

A few cards are crucial for success. you need to draw them. MC, Garg, and PB.
