NEW: Deck tech video, explaining each card choice in the list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D4ZobjbE1Q

Fairly straight forward.

Know your opponent. Save Murkwater Witch to take out things like Breton Summoner, or trigger Leaflurker.

When Mummify comes off of a prophecy, you more than likely won’t want to play it. Drag it to your hand.

Drop Draugr turn one into the field lane if your opponent isn’t running red/green or any yellow. Profit. Use Draugr and Fighter’s Guild Recruit to try and box your opponent into one lane for easier abuse via Charus Reaper, Red Bramman, and Blood Magic Lord.

Mulligan everything that costs more than 3, unless you know your opponent isn’t running execute/arrow storm but will have things to kill with Archein Venomtongue, then you could go for that, although I wouldn’t if I didn’t have the magicka potion.

Given the choice between Thieves Guild Recruit and any other two drop, lay down Thieves Guild Recruit, except in the rare situation where you have a Wind Keep Spellsword in hand and your opponent has something delicious to attack and you’re not worried about execute or a toughness boosting effect.

Try not to drop Blood Magic Lord until you’re at 11 Magicka, so you can use his cards to protect him (the gargoyle and the shackle).

At various times I’ve used this to get rank 1 legend for the past couple of months. Enjoy.

8/23/16 UPDATE – Hist Speaker out, Moonlight Werebat in! With this change, we’re playing to our strong midgame with a card that helps us claw back against Jarl/Marshal/Saints after an early rush. We’re also adding a powerful prophecy card to our deck which will swing close matches in our favor.

8/23/16 UPDATE – Hist Speaker returns, Deadly Draugr out. We also welcome Odahviing to the party!
