Instead of sheer high attack, go for their standard medium-attack ones (3~4 stuff) and add… Coalfists to the mix.
For as much as Kaleos is ‘the’ dedicated minion guy, go for Shidai anyways. She’s flexible given a little luck.
For an alternate reading on this chaos, shove it as an alt finisher on a standard Arcanyst Hai. Kindling is there to transform your army in colossal beating sticks anyways.
Combines the best of mechs, with reliquarian, and Omega is just thrown in as a finisher with Juxta/MDS/Reliquarian if unanswered. By no means is this deck optimized (I can’t even make it because I still have yet to get 3 reliquarians), but just by looking at it, I think it might have problems with draw if replaces aren’t perfect. Omega is just loads of fun in this meta with lack of dispels, and inconsistent removal from wanderer.
Manakite because Jay thinks it might be good
oh did you want reliquarian to target a songhai minion? RIP mech package.
Arcanyst Reva/Shidai Relic deck, ofc, it’s me, I always start to meme with Arcanysts.
Ox Reva Relic deck
My playstyle with Hai usually assumes that my general tends to be far far away, teleporting minions to the opponent’s face while brewing some kind of stupid combo. With this tactics pure Reliq seems underwhelming - nothing to attack in the close proximity.
Given lackluster effect of Hai Relic, I then started to add Cyclone and/or Bangle into my Relic decks, which resulted with my Control Artifact Kal list which can be seen, e.g. here:
And it is actually pretty good Basically, it’s ArtiHai with Kaleos control suit instead of spell control suit, and it works! The problem is, it is better without Reliquarian Even 2 SSS would be more useful here.
At this point I just concede. Reliquarian in Hai seems so meme tier to me, that it is uncomparable to, say, Abyss or Mag builds, which actually have strong Reliq effect…
Played a couple of games with @eurasianjay’s Relic/Kage ramp list and result is 0% wr in low gold. We don’t have enough control to protect drifter and general, but the package itself seems promising.
Then I made a Kaleos list with ideas from me and Jay together, and played one match that resulted in a win. Don’t have enough time to test it out more carefully, but here’s the list:
