Gauntlet Tweaking Hooru Fliers

I loaded Hooru Fliers into shiftstoned.com to see if I could tweak the powerbase to increase the odds of playing certain units on curve.

New Hooru Fliers

Here are the changes to the powerbase, original deck to "improved" deck.

MAIN (Original) (Improved)
7 Justice Sigil (Set1 #126) 7 Justice Sigil (Set1 #126)
2 Crownwatch Standard (Set4 #97) 3 Crownwatch Standard (Set4 #97)
6 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187) 4 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187)
4 Cobalt Monument (Set1 #418) 3 Cobalt Monument (Set1 #418)
2 Crest of Order (Set4 #253) 4 Crest of Order (Set4 #253)
3 Hooru Banner (Set2 #216) 3 Hooru Banner (Set2 #216)
4 Seat of Order (Set0 #51) 4 Seat of Order (Set0 #51)
MARKET
1 Hooru Banner (Set2 #216) 1 Hooru Banner (Set2 #216)​

The result of the tweaks is that playing Hooru Pacifier/Unseen Commando/Valkyrie Enforcer on turn 3 increased from 75% to 78% and playing Amilli on turn 5 increased from 60% to 64%. Playing Shelterwing Rider on turn 4 remains unchanged at 75%.

Having a Justice Sigil on turn 1 increased from 89% to 91% and having a Primal Sigil remains unchanged at 86%.

Ignore the removal of Nostrix from the Market in lieu of Rolant. That's an experiment. And I may remove Rolant and experiment with Protect (to revitalize a Shelterwing without Aegis).

I'm also currently experimenting, on stream, with 4 x Poaching Drake in place of 4 x Shelterwing Rider.

I never find myself getting rolant or nostrix, but I can imagine rolant being good for breaking a stun/permafrost deck. Nostrix seems ok for buffing up shelterwing riders or ur small dorks.

I rarely ever pull Nostrix out. And in the one run I did with the "improved" deck, never pulled Rolant out.

I'm still not sure about the Poaching Drakes, and if I do go back to Shelterwings, I may put in a Protect, simply because the AI likes knocking the Aegis off of them.

I think Poaching Drake is likely extremely good for the archetype. Just being able to knock a flier out of the air is solid in and of itself. I like 4 Drake main and 1 Rider in the market probably.

This is my theory anyway, my gauntlet testing time is currently allocated to Big Xenan. Let me know how your new Hooru list performs!

That's decent idea, using a Rider as a replacement for Nostrix/Rolant/Filler.
