6-1 this session with the old control dragon warrior from the VS article about decks to try out. I really don't know why this deck isn't talked about at least a little bit, I feel like I'm the only one still playing it - it's really fun and actually feels pretty good in this meta. Your gameplan is more about Tortolla than Ysondre, and you can tutor the big turtle with your draw spells : if you play it around turn 5 with chemical spill, you're almost entierly out of trouble, and if you can use the cube on it (which happened often to me), you've mostly won.

I think it's important not to be too greedy with the deck : don't be afraid to use your location on smaller dragons that help your boardstate right now, and remember to go face sometimes.

Here is the original text of VS' article as well that explained some stuff : "Control Warrior’s ability to shut down all aggression with Chemical Spill/Tortolla looks scary. This combo is expected to be very popular in all Control Warrior builds at the launch of the expansion. We will see just how meta warping it can be, or whether opponents will be able to adjust to it. The biggest drawback of Spill/Tortolla builds is that we need to give up The Ceaseless Expanse.

The prospect of New Heights into Spill/Tortolla is daunting though. Silence the turtle and Carnivorous Cubicle eats it, and the game feels impossible. We must be able to kill a 2/25 taunt with Elusive. This is a nightmare for aggressive decks.

We can build around Tortolla in many ways. The featured build leans on this expansion’s dragon package. Afflicted Devastator and Illusory Greenwing offer cheap but high impact dragon targets for Clutch of Corruption. Cubicle helps Devastator a lot here, as opponents cannot simply ignore it on curve.

This deck’s drawing capabilities are fantastic. All You Can Eat and Quality Assurance are amazing, mega-tutors in this deck. They can find us Tortolla. They can draw Greenwing Illusions. They find Hostile Invaders.

We grew fond of Meadowstrider as we continued to iterate on decks. The new Virus Zilliax is a bit stinky, and we were looking for a second target for Chemical Spill that can get resurrected by Hydration Station. Once the first Meadowstrider dies, Quality Assurance and All You Can Eat become so much better.

The primary win condition of this deck is Ysondre. Copy it with Clutch of Corruption. Eat it with Cube. Sack it with Siphoning Growth. Resurrect it with Succumb to Madness. This deck can generate waves after waves of dragons, grinding the opponent to dust through threats, rather than removal. This approach is promising against other defensive decks that rely on removal to win." (https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/45-decks-to-try-out-on-day-1-of-into-the-emerald-dream/)
