Kaene Overheal Colossal

Kaene the Reclaimer has no max health cap, which means I can heal to 24 or 26 on turn 3 and watch burn players cry. While Thornbloom Melon and Jar of Beans bank extra life, Warding Totem ramps me straight into Stone Masked Ancient and Lord of the Woods, Kasumigami. Huge W.

Game plan

Early turns
Koyama Farm Potter grabs Thornbloom Melon, Warding Totem or Sandcoil Python. I block with Rei, Kale and Barleytail and hold Wrong Step open.
Middle turns
Warding Totem ramps me +1 IKZ while defending, Suna the Wayfarer discounts my Colossal guys, and Ishimaru plus Quicksand shut down wide aggro.
Closing
Lord of the Woods, Kasumigami lands as an 8/8 and roots every entity with base cost 6 or less in their Garden, so I swing back with Kasumigami, Teb Fea and Mo for free.

Mulligan

I keep Koyama Farm Potter or a cheap blocker alongside Wrong Step or Thornbloom Melon. Send back hands full of 6-plus cards.

Key cards

1 IKZ to heal 2 at Main or Response speed. Since Kaene has no cap, I fire it off at 20 health whenever I have 1 IKZ left over.
0/2 Defender that adds a tapped IKZ on play so my 7-, 8- and 9-drops show up early.
8/8 boss that roots every opposing entity with base cost 6 or less on play.
Destroys every entity with 2 health or less in their Garden. Save it for 3+ guys.
Response: deletes a 2-health attacker mid-swing.

Tips

Never pass with spare IKZ holding Thornbloom Melon — going to 22 health on turn 1 is always good on Kaene.
Jar of Beans upgrades from heal 3 to heal 5 once I hit 7 IKZ, and Warding Totem gets me there fast.
Portal Ishimaru (Gate Power 2) or Stone Masked Ancient (Gate Power 3) through Stonehaven Gate to hand Defender to Rei, Kale or Barleytail.
