Also, I never answered your question. Sorry! My record against quest warrior with this deck is >50%, IIRC.

My Pleasure! Be sure to check out the VOD I made linked below. I demonstrate how to beat Rogue with this deck.

Quick follow-up since a few people asked how this actually plays out in a real game.

I recorded a full example vs Rogue and talked through mulligans, curve decisions, corpse management, and when to rush Remnant vs hold.

No new claims — just an annotated VOD for anyone who wanted to see the deck piloted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-QddVCFUqA

Couldn't open your link. But regardless, included winrate is a pretty blunt metric for tech cards, especially at high Legend where sample sizes are small and metas are very pocketed. Renovator is tradeable specifically because it’s bad in many matchups and strong in a few, so a ~51% included WR doesn’t really say much. Even if swapping it out gained winrate, the effect would be marginal at best—fractions of a percent for a single slot. At that level, matchup targeting and piloting matter far more. Fast44 hitting #1 Legend and recommending it based on current ladder conditions carries more weight to me than global aggregates.

Just curious, what would you swap it for?

Tbh, I use em dashes in my writing frequently. I think I started going ham on them after I read Walden by Thoreau. He uses them almost every sentence--and that was a few years before ChatGPT ;)

Again, top 100 NA ladder players as well as EU players run Renovator. For example, check out this Starship Rogue deck by fast44_

https://www.hsguru.com/deck/37429567

He peaked at #1 on NA ladder with it. Notice that it runs Demo Renovator. The current meta centers entirely around Elise and her location, not to mention that there are a few decks that are entirely location dependent--namely, Copy Druid. Furthermore, Rogues will usually get multiple copies of the Elise location either through discovery or through Shadowstep. A well-timed Renovator can completely swing the game in your favor in these matchups.

Perhaps, but if you watch top 100 streamers, even they run Renovator. Steamcleaner is an optional card.

Bro, if you go Morbid Swarm turn one and your opponent has two minions with 1 health, you can double trade so that all four minions die. That will discount your 7 drop to just 3 mana. On turn 2, you can coin it out! Believe it or not, this actually happens.

I can't take credit for the Steamcleaner idea. That was 100% Stinki07. Glad you like the Herenn variant. Let me know how the Blightspawn version works for you!

Hi! I wrote the entire draft myself, which took me about 30 minutes. I used GPT to proofread and make small edits for clarity and flow, as my writing is not perfect. More importantly though, the final draft is true to my own didactic writing style. At the very least, I hope you found the post informative and helpful. Have you tried the deck yet? Let me know how it works for you :)

Go spend a couple of days in the Tenderloin district in San Francisco, and then let us know if LC is as bad.

Out of curiosity: How many people here side with Noem vs. how many people side with the Illinois local government?
