Ruunin now costs 5 faeria? Nice! That means we can use failed experiment on her and get buffs to Illusion!
Other interactions in the deck:
— Oakling into farmboy/dark stalker for getting big creatures that buff Illusions nicely, and could taunt the removal from opponent.
— Voice of Hungers to use on oaklings/Ruunin.
— Feed the Forest to use on oaklings/Ruunin (its better to always save at least one FtF for the biggest Ruunin you'd get).
— Bone collectors to collect all the dying oaklings/ruunins/farmboys/dark stalkers (could be also used as meat for voice of hunger).
— Nine T1 collectors (farmboys, stalkers, bone collectors), 5 fallback T2 collectors (Oaklings, Naked Voices in rare cases).
— Earthcraft for cycling, lands and triggering Stalkers.
— Spellwirls for triggering Stalkers and getting more stuff to play, as otherwise the deck is packed with interactions.
— Time of Legends for finding Ruunin (and/or triggering Stalkers).
In best case scenario you could get a nice number of beefy creatures that could taunt opponent's removal (Last Nightmares, Frogifies, Voice of Truth etc.) — 2 Voices, 3 buffed from Oaklings small creatures, then 2 Illusions and Ruunin itself.
The best combo is to let Ruunin die a few times naturally (or via Voice), then combo feed the forests & failed experiment on her to get a lot of discounts for Illusions and a lot of faeria.
Enjoy!
this deck will look much better with the AURORA’S CREATION instead of SPELLWHIRL
