Mourning Glory [1.503]

This is simply a concept design so far so anyone wanting to help tune it would be appreciated.

Current Deck (40):

1 x Logan Stonebreaker

4 x Keldor
4 x Infernal Gargoyle
2 x Medusil
3 x Death Mage Thaddeus
2 x Ogloth the Glutton
(15 Allies)

3 x Smashing Blow
3 x Crippling Blow
2 x Rampage
4 x Sacrificial Lamb
(12 abilities)

4 x Reserve Weapon
2 x The King's Pride
2 x Mournblade
4 x Jeweler's Dream
(12 items)

Here you have 4 cards to assist scoring non durability using kills to buff Mournblade:

Logan
Sacrificial Lamb
Ogloth the Glutton
Reserve Weapon

In order to set up the Mournblade I'm trying to utilise the Shadow Warrior allies ability synergy with:
Jeweler's Dream
Medusil
Keldor
Sacrificial Lamb
Crippling Blow

Other cards that may or may not combine:
Brutalis
War Banner
Valiant Defender
Shield Bash
Warrior Training
Bloodlust

Just from a glance I'd say you have way too much 3cc and not enough 2cc. Brutalis is an acceptable card to play, especially with a KP so he can even be relevant late on for more than an extra sac.

Also, I should note that attacking with mournblade to buff mournblade is kinda silly, and MB is the worst card to have in the same deck with reserve weapon. It can be worn down SO easily. Berserker's Edge would be SO much better in a list like this.

Your probably right, but I'm looking to take the board later and need more 3cc allies to make each SL make up for the lack of Blood Frenzy. I'm starting here and moving backwards on the ally curve if I have to, although I don't really think Brutalis would help that much, perhaps Dark Flayer or Carniboar are the way to go.

Rampage is a great reason to use Mournblade to buff itself, for both board control and healing with an added bonus if you have Ogloth out. I don't see why Reserve Weapon is any better for any weapon over another, as it buffs any weapon equally. With ally kills, Logan's ability, SL, and Oggy combo's Mourneblade can increase in attack higher and faster than Berserker's Edge.

I have concluded that there is definitely something to this deck with a lot more tuning it can work. My current test build is now as follows:

Current Deck: (46)

1 x Logan Stonebreaker

4 x Keldor
4 x Infernal Gargoyle
3 x Death Mage Thaddeus
2 x Ogloth the Glutton
(13 Allies)

3 x Smashing Blow
3 x Crippling Blow
2 x Rampage
4 x Evil Ascendant
4 x Sacrificial Lamb
4 x Bad Santa
(20 abilities)

4 x Reserve Weapon
2 x The King's Pride
2 x Mournblade
4 x Jeweler's Dream
(12 items)

This version adds an extra card to assist buffing Mournblade without using durability, EA. Another I am considering is Armor of Ages, but will require a vastly different strategy which may become a secondary/solo build later with Ter Adun.
