270+ Praxix of Nightmare

Edit: Now I'm 300+ :)

This is a control deck, but wins more than half of games by mill. Knowing how to switch between control and mill is the key of winning.

Enjoy!



Hero:

Praxix


Allies:

Harbinger of the Lost *4
Rampant Krygon *4
Death Mage Thaddeus *3
Brimstone Devourer *4
Reactorary *4
Falseblood Cultist *4


Abilities:

Mind Control *4
Shriek of Vengeance *3
Shadow Font *4
Bad Santa *4
Ley Line Nexus *2
Temporal Disturbance *2


Items:

Infinity Core *2
Antimatter *4
Morphic Armor *2
Living Armor *3
Dagger of Fate *4
Darkforged Knife *2 (Originally cutlass, thanks @Preybird:))

60 cards including hero

Obviously there are questionable choices of cards, but currently this is the deck and it's doing ok, I'm still testing other possibilities though (now focusing on crystal shard and reverberate).
It's a very situational deck, but fun to play.

Share some of your thoughts :)

Nice looking Praxix disruption deck :)

I would lose the Temporal Disturbance as you look like you're not going full mill, and I'm sure you're aware you'll have to replace Cutlass soon (Id replace it now if you're intending to keep Bad Santa). A very good alternative for Praxix is Darkforged Knife, it'll disrupt your opponent's deck further (plus fills the role of Temporal Disturbance).

Those are great advice! I actually have never seen darkforged knife before, thanks for showing me that, what a great card for Praxix!
Yes I'm replacing cutlass, for sure. I sac it every time I see it.
About the Temporal Disturbance, I'm actually still testing its value in this deck. There's one hidden strategy in this deck, in my recent 5 victories, 3 of them are won with that. This deck doesn't look like a mill deck in any senses, especially without bazaar and EA, this causes some opponents to not notice that their decks are almost empty, while they were focusing on drawing cards. It would be too late when they notice, I will using harbinger/hero skill/bad Santa to quickly empty their deck and causes direct damages. So, with temporal disturbance, it gives me an option to go mill from mid to late game, plus it's giving me an extra discard chance every turn. I'm still not sure though, that's why only 2 copies.
You're clearly an elemental expert, and what do you think? Or maybe I'm just crazy, lol:)

The reason I dislike Temporal Disturbance is the same reason I dislike Bazaar, I have (next to) no control over when it affects me negatively. With all the discard effects in the deck Disturbance may work for you, throwing away Devourer and Reactorary. Basically it's not my cup of tea but if it's working for you then keep going :)

That's very true! A lot of times it throws away falseblood, antimatter and leaves reactorary and devourer on my hand with no way to discard them.
Thanks a lot for your advice!

What about crystal shards?

Great choice, I'm still testing it:)

Crystal Shards isn't bad at all. I'm having a play with it in my current Zal deck, and it's brilliant for Praxix.

One thing as well with Shards, mix it with Reverberate. Every card you discard your opp loses 2.

I think temporal has nice synergy with praxix, especially when coupled with reverb and prismatic field. I just wish that prism read 'until the start of your next turn' so that I could spam energy discharge like mages do nova.
Oh and don't forget that mimic can target your used or discarded reverbs, effectively bumping its count to a maximum of 8.

any idea how to fit mimic is this kind of decks, i love that card :P
