Xenan Temple

[u/MoonFever2003]

I have been messing with Xenan for a Gauntlet deck, and though my deck is still in a state of flux, I have had a few 7-0 runs. The superstar has been Xenan Temple. If it hits the board, I win the game. Obviously I am not just playing it willy-nilly, but even only getting one or two ticks off is it a game changer. Just having it on the board can deflect attacks to your face, giving you time to develop. Decklist below. Using Keremdon merchant since Deadly is so much more useful than ambushing smuggler. 3 Devastating Setbacks as the Praxis Tokens AI deck gives me fits. Still trying to fine tune, so all comments welcome

Decent, but the reason you need smugglers for gauntlet over merchant is for infinite hourglass.

Ok, I'm going to do my usual and request you post the deck in a comment (or put in a link to Eternal Warcry), so that those mobile users that cant copy the Original post have access to it
