Yes it’s a valid path, you’d then play the deck more aggressively, keeping Chakram in hand and the “pings” are going to be more important. I feel you’d need to add card draw in that case.
Edit: Chittering Tiller is probably good but I haven’t had the occasion to try it yet.
Before Chakram, Nethermeld was indeed the way to go with Movebyssian: Miguel's Abyss deck and discussion space
However, the Sphere nerf hurt Nethermeld really bad so I’m not sure if it’s worth it anymore, unless you really commit to a teleport finish with Juggernauts/Vorpals. From my deck, (Recom)bob could be a fun option to try out. I feel like it could be better than Tiller since it’s an ok t1 play. I also love the Syvrels in this list 
Thanks a lot for the pointer. I removed the ™ from my post as you coined the concept quite cleverly with your creep-oriented list. I would love to try yours but I’m running a bit low on spirit to craft the necessary cards.
You’re right if removing the mechs then Recombobulus is almost a must-have! With all the wraithlings lying around we can probably use it quite effectively.
No problem, I remember deathsadvocate also had a Nethermeld (Juggernaut) list previously, so it’s not really my original idea either (except for some synergy cards like using Wild Tahr with Nethermeld). There’s lots of cool stuff you can do with the cards, as all our lists are very different in what they do, including yours
My spin in the past was Nethermeld, but with the Sphere nerf I haven’t tried to make it. I could try again because it’s not too difficult to spread creep, but we’ll see.
I’ll let you know if I build anything but I don’t think I would use so many minion tools, and definitely not Deceptibot or Syvrel. I would, however, try out that ‘teleport the enemy general one space forwards’ card!
Dying Wish Wanderer
Don’t hate me…
So, a second/third attempt on my crusade to put the “fun” in “Funderer”, this time we’re trying out a dying wish version. As a veteran of Lurking Fear decks, I’m very pleased with how this deck turned out. Before Carrion Collector (praised be him), Lurking Fear was the only proper dying wish ramp tool available, so the dying wish decks’ toughness depended often on finding a single 3x card within the first couple of turns. With Wanderer, we’re only able to fit 1x Lurk and 1x Collector in the deck so the consistency goes down 50% from the “pure” Lurk decks, but the brutal power of Wanderer more than enough makes up for that.
There are a great deal of good dying wish minions to make the cost reduction relevant even with just one-offs: especially being able to ramp a Vorpal, Klaxon or Grimes on the turn before Wanderer creates a huge dilemma if the opponent is saving only a single removal from Wanderer. Unlike typical Wanderer decks, this deck lets go of some of midrange power for a more controlly approach: minions like Dioltas, Gnasher, Rot9M and Horror Burster help to keep the opponent busy while we keep going to that sweet endgame where all the magic happens. Nether Summoning and Consuming Rebirth can also be amazing with the proper dying wish targets, or simply for resurrecting Wanderer with Nether.
All in all the deck is quite consistent, with soft and hard removal, dispel, draw and lots of annoying dying wish minions. Even more importantly, it’s fun to play as the control approach gives a lot of interaction with the opponent while you try to keep board in an optimal shape or rush out wins vs. trial Maehv/Brome.
Winrate was 7-3 in Silver and 7-3 in Gold, so a nice 70 %.
Klaxon freakin eluding my grasp, what do I replace him with?
Also check out my previous Arcanyst Wanderer if you’ve missed it: Miguel’s Abyss deck and discussion space
Kamen Moonrider is always a good option in Wanderer Lilithe, if you have him?
I built one of these too lol. So fun but also makes me wonder what I’m doing with my life
Riddle me this… and that… and those…
Anyone up for some arcanyst control madness? Meet Sphynx, the 4 mana 5/4 who puts a Riddle to your opponent’s action bar. The Riddle is a 2 mana spell which blocks the “owner” of the spell from replacing. Spending the 2 mana, you can send the Riddle back to the other player’s action bar and then you can replace again. The exchange of Riddles can potentially go on forever, since the only way to get rid of the card by normal means is to send it to an opponent who has a full hand (then the card is just destroyed). This is an important point for this deck, since if you keep your hand at 5 cards max you can keep the Riddle from being destroyed if your opponent doesn’t draw extra cards for you.
Normally, the Riddle is not such a huge advantage, since the opponent can simply spend the 2 mana and then you, in your turn, have to figure out what to do with it. However, Riddle is also a potentially infinite spell proc triggerer, if you play your cards right. For the powerful Owlbeast-Illusionist-Death Knell basic package Sphynx is actually a pretty neat card: it gives value for every Riddle you cast when you have a Swolobeast or Illusionist out and also slows down the game (since every time the Riddle is cast less total mana is spent until the endgame).
My personal touch on the deck is some funky card choices: Mindwarper is usually used ,unintuitively enough, to copy the opponent’s Riddles, since having two Riddles going back and forth in the game can really wreck the opponent’s game plan. Whereas Archon Spellbinder provides a huge threat to bring back with Death Knell, and serves as combined good body block and disruption when the opponent has blown their removal for cheaper minions. It’s mainly used here though since I just think it’s a cool card 
Furor Chakram is the main finisher of the deck, whenever you have a board of +3 minions out. Knell is more situational depending on the matchup, which is why it’s a 2x. Besides the standard Arcanyst Lili removal package (Ritual, Lure & Lightbender) I chose to use Grasp in the list for some extra AoE against swarm decks and a cheap spell proc. Wanderer lists and Xor are the deck’s better matchups since Sphynx can really give those decks a hard time. On the other hand, it can struggle against commited Burn & Fault. Although Bender and Grasp give the deck a good chance against Fault, Vet has so many powerful tools that sometimes Abyss loses to simple differences in card quality 
WR was 14-6 (70%) in Gold.
The deck desperately needs ramp, imho. This is serious.
And additional Sphynx Magesworn memes 
This is not
Adding ramp would give some problems with card advantage, so other parts of the deck would need to be adjusted. Knell isn’t a very great card to ramp out in general, and there isn’t imo a particular need to ramp out rest of the deck’s minions since Sphynx is a fine curve play. He actually slows the game often just enough that Knell becomes also a fine on-curve play.
As for Magesworn… well, if you like to live dangerously I guess 
I really like the fact that Sphynx breaks some of the more annoying decks, including Wanderer and Mantra.
Too bad I don’t have it, and it doesn’t seem like a fine spirit investment.
Yeah it’s almost as niche as cards can be
Impossible but fun meme: run this with Fugitive.
all the riddlessss, damn fugitive seems fun i should try that
hey hey mates. I was off work ill with a headache today and decided that I might as well gun for S1 since I was so close & I had been doing well on the weekend. Wanted to prove that Wanderer Lili isn’t that far behind the top dogs of Rag and Reva as people seem to think. Anyway, hit S1 and in minor celebration thought I’d share the list with you Abyssian folks before it gets published in the power rankings:
I think it’s very solid. There’s a couple of things I’m still mulling over tweaking, like adding an extra healing card, or changing the 3 drops so that you can play them on curve without milling cards. Would love to hear any opinions or questions.
How is wraithcrown working for you? My list has it, but it was pretty spotty.
Hey, I remember that Mindlathe + Chakram finisher played against me. That was awesome
