The deck that looked most promising to me since Survival had left the format is Staxx. I used to play a 5c-Staxx-variant running Oath of Druids alongside with Empyrial Archangel, Sundering Titan, Filigree Angel and Karn, Silver Golem, but I felt that I’d often end up in a draw in matches since that version of the Staxx deck can hardly win fast.

I guess I’ve never seen a theoretically nice deck fail so hard like my Hypergenesis-deck did last Tuesday, when I piloted it on a small tournament in Karlsruhe. But let’s start with the deck list.
