Goro Quicksand Wall

I got tired of fast Scarlett decks rushing me down, so I built the ultimate anti-aggro wall. Almost every scary Fire body has 2 health or less, so every card in my deck blocks, heals, or zaps 2-health guys — and 4 copies of Quicksand wipe their whole Garden at once. Huge W.

Deck

Goro Quicksand Wall

I built this specifically to cook fast Scarlett decks: block, heal, Quicksand.

Game plan

Early turns
Rei and Mocking Dummy slow down their 1-drops while I leave 1 or 2 IKZ open for Sundering Strike, Wrong Step and Earth Orb on their turn.
Middle turns
Barleytail and Warding Totem block while healing 2 or ramping me +1 IKZ. Thornbloom Melon and Fortifying Concoction erase early chip damage.
Closing
Wait for them to put three or four guys out, then slam Quicksand to delete every 2-health entity on their side. Stone Masked Ancient, Jar of Beans, Sandcoil Python and Mo clean up.

Mulligan

I keep a 1-drop with Sundering Strike or Wrong Step, or Barleytail plus a heal. Throw back hands of 5-plus-cost cards.

Key cards

Destroys every entity with 2 health or less in their Garden — yes, even the 5-cost Scarlett!
2 IKZ Response to blow up an attacking entity with 2 health or less, even if it has a giant weapon on it.
3-cost Defender that heals me for 2 on play AND eats an attack.
Tap it on Garden entry so Taunt forces every single attack into its 6 health.
Draws 1 and gives Goro Graveloth Carapace 1 until my next turn so swarm turns barely scratch me.

Tips

Infiltrate skips Defenders, NOT Taunt! Against Scarlett or Burning Edge, a tapped Stone Masked Ancient still stops them cold.
Don't waste Quicksand on one dinky 1-drop — use Wrong Step or Sundering Strike and hold Quicksand until their board is full.
Portal Stone Masked Ancient or Sandcoil Python through Stonehaven Gate to give Rei Defender.
