Do you have a sideboard guide for this deck?

Can't believe your fab name isn't Lupine Fiasco

Special thanks to @yukileebender.bsky.social, Simon Nielsen and @iantcg.bsky.social for helping me during and after the weekend! This somehow ended up a mix of a tournament report, a pick analysis and a short reminder of draft fundamentals, but I hope you learn something!

3-1 on Fang, on to the second sealed event

Can't wait for a weekend of sealed Hunted tbh

Yeah I also just read about this interaction yesterday. I don't think there's an awful lot of ways for Nuu to get Dominate though, so you're probably fine

Just like Siren's Call, the normal blocking requirements/restrictions ARE relevant.

In terms of playability, I'm not too sure what the power level is. If opponent calls 6 and searches a DReact, this card gets 2 value. If you call 6 and search a 4 value card, you go -2 value. Either this needs to name a power card, or the opponent needs to be at low life totals for it to be great.

And of course one of Brodies Celebrationals card. I love how even though the concept was extremely wordy and hard to grasp, they still managed to keep the core concept of it, and it being a Chaos card makes it very on theme. Not to mention the cool design and his signature ham sandwich on the card

Wait a sec. This card code is ARK007, so this is from one of the Blitz decks huh

Not too familiar with Blitz Arakni, but very nice that they made this a 4-block. Mentors were very frustrating in that they were often too slow to arsenal, and having better block values helps a lot with making them worth playing.
Contracts with Go Again also very strong, so could see it working.

Finally, it seems like slipped through the cracks will just be a completely separate hero from Marionette.
Curious to see if it'll be draftable for a 2 Assassin 2 Draconic structure or put in an Expansion Slot

Then for the Agents of Choas, I'd imagine they're only active during the opponents turn, and transform back to Marionette at the end of their turn. I'd imagine texts like
"Opponents cards and abilties can't gain Go Again / Power"
"Opponents get Frailty / Inertia / Bloodrot"

Question number one is how Arakni will Mark the opponents. I assume it'll just be a standard assassin dagger that marks on hit.
With this hero, that basically means your dagger becomes Beckoning Mistblade.
Gains Go Again on hit only, but if they block it out, chaos will happen.
