Kagoro Oblation Swarm

Who cares if I finish at 4 health as long as they finish at 0? Flame Eyed Reika and Detonation Pact trade my spare life for extra bodies and burn, Cinderwake Pursuer gets Charge on 3-card turns, and Kagoro of the Burnt Path pays 2 IKZ for +2 attack to join the dogpile! Big W.

Game plan

  1. Early turns

    I dump two 1-drops a turn — Cinderwake Seer, The Calm Assassin, Tomi — and pay 3 health on Flame Eyed Reika to cheat another 2-drop into my Alley.

  2. Middle turns

    Omen Peddler snipes their 2-health guy from the Alley while Battle Tempo, Shurra pings on leader hits. Drop two entities, then pay 2 IKZ so Kagoro swings for 2 alongside Cinderwake Pursuer!

  3. Closing

    Steel Talon and Scarlett charge in for 3 and 4, Black Jade Warlord sacrifices after attacking for +2 more attack, and Detonation Pact plus Fire Orb end it.

Mulligan

I keep two 1-cost bodies, or a 1-drop with Flame Eyed Reika or Omen Peddler. Throw back hands with multiple 4-plus cards.

Key cards

  • Omen Peddler

    Play him in the Alley to kill the 2-health entity that wanted to eat my tapped 1-drops.

  • Flame Eyed Reika

    3 leader health puts a 2-cost or cheaper entity into my Alley tapped for free.

  • Steel Talon

    Charge and Bloodlust for 3 instant damage to their leader.

  • Scarlett

    Charge, and she takes Infiltrate +1 when 4 unblockable damage wins the race.

  • Detonation Pact

    1 IKZ and 1 life for 2 leader damage — also counts toward Cinderwake Pursuer's two other cards!

Tips

  • Play your entities BEFORE activating Kagoro of the Burnt Path! Using his ability first gives 0 attack, which is peak NPC behavior.
  • Cinderwake Seer hurts itself every turn, so portaling through Ragefire Gate always buffs it.
  • Remember tapped guys can get attacked next turn: let Omen Peddler clear their attacker before swinging small bodies into bad trades.
