Hello! I generally create a lot of weird or powerful decks but because I’m known to play Vanar I will post exclusively that (Unless you wan’t me to post other decks.) All of these have been built to not use any cards that will rotate out and I will be quickly updating these for the next expac, as well as add more decks.
Faie
This is my standard list that has been updated for rotation. I’m not a fan of standard burn but I absolutely love the idea of ending games with Snow Piercer, games are quick and end suddenly, some tips are: Replace Warbird off Mentor unless setting up
game, save Alcuin for Shroud unless setting up game, don’t always Hearth Sister BBS and replace correctly.

I honestly can’t give any advice on this as I have only played one game with this, it exists to say the least.

With the help of @sinpathy I was able to put this together overall just check Sinpathy’s thread on this kind of deck for a better explanation then I ever could… don’t question Zurael BTW.

This list I like to call Seraphim Turbo, Seraphim can win games on her own but the combos are also huge. It’s hard to explain because its very experimental, just make sure you do whats in its name.

This list was going to get a thread of its own…
23:6 79.3% winrate rank 18-10
This list can easily win without getting its ramp tools, cards like Blue Conjurer and Grove Lion can easily win games and no deck survive back-to-back EMPs.

This is the Arcanyst list I have tested the most, the only card I dislike is Trinity Wing and I think I might cut that later, the ratios are weird but the list is consistent and working fine, note that Blue Conjurer is the best card in the deck so you wan’t to turbo it out, it just wins games. Outside of turboing out Conjurer the only other advice I could give you is to be smart with your replaces and don’t be afraid to use your BBS where the only real value is proccing your arcanysts.
Here is why I run some of the cards at what ratios:
Trinity wing at 1?: Cut it, you always have a full hand and bond is really, really bad.
Circulus at 2!?: I actually dislike 2 drops in this deck and I kinda want to cut them altogether, although Circulus being an infinite value generator comes up often enough for it to be useful.
Razorback and Embla (At 2 and 1): Both really fun alternate wincons that come up surprisingly often.

This list was only made a few days ago so it has a lot less testing, overall same advice applies, but note: Replicant might just be the best 2 drop in the game so you always play him first, in this list I actually like 2 drops!
Here is why I run these cards:
Replicant: I quickly grew to loving this card so expect to see this a lot more often, just if its a turn one play make sure to replace the other.

@snowshot send me a list you’re comfortable with.
Budget
This is the budget list that I decided to make for budget DRR and I want to use for Pauper Meta retreat, if you notice this list is extremely similar to my standard burn list so they play about the same. Just smorc your oppenent as much as possible to win in the early game. Just reference the other burn list for the improvements.
