best swarming carassius version imo. i tried doing the deathtouch/ sac versions similar to happyjos or obsidianbottles old builds but it seemed to expensive and unfocused in right now. the best defense imo is to just get carassius out fast. victory celebration is amazing in this, most decks cant deal with wave after wave of carassius no matter how much faeria they have (red could and garudan could do it especially well but KEKW). victory celebration is a keep in the mulligan.
shieldmates are amazing openers, blockers, defenders/collectors (thanks to lizurd for suggesting mates and taking out the biomancers from ionas smile).
failed experiment is absolute mvp and allows you to double the speed of your carassius waves.
one big improvement to this deck was taking out stormspawn. that card just makes no sense, failed stormspawn is +3 faeria and failed carassius is also +3 and carassius is the best failed target. the one of doomsday isnt even that much of a meme. if you follow up doomsday with ulani and a 0 cost creationed carassius you win if your opponent cant burn you from hand.
if your opponent is a burn deck however forget about carassius, your wincondition becomes radiance creation and you are still heavily unfavoured against burn. dont be scared to use creation on fugoro or aurora if it can stabilize you but be mindful of what ressources you still have left as this deck doesnt run gift of rakoa to have less dead draws if you use creation to freely you can run out of deck, tho that scenario is very nieche. this deck will struggle against rush and extremely fast tempo decks like towship stuff, blue jump with mystic beast etc tho its still winable. on the flipside you destroy every slow deck (unless they meteor you randomly) and have good odds against crackthorn speed decks (6 land midrange decks).
pretty happy with how this deck ended up, props to prathyush for coming up with the vc+carassius+doomsday concept and to lizurd for helping with optimizing.
