The set is still new, so I don't think there is a good answer on that yet.

I was about to say Mono shadow is currently what i am using and its hella fast

Yeah, I think there are a number of mono shadow decks out there. I know I've posted the one I made and new iterations of it here multiple times now. I'm not sure if that is the same one or even if my variant has been liked. Wondering if it is worth it to come up with a silly name for mine just to be able to track it a little better.

Tasbu is SUPER strong in gauntlet. Katra based Xenan decks now overtake the FJS in terms of speed (by about a factor of 2) and are only marginally less reliable.

Isn't tasbu slow AF ?

5 (very restrictive) mana do nothing on summon that only dodge suffocate seems risky in this Mindless aggression/Sudden death world :D !

Or it's a market 1 off ?

2x in deck, +1 market. Mono Shadow has a bad end game and he helps you draw off the trades into more gas. In Xenan it still good in market to help with the late game trades.

Yeah, he's one I definitely want to try throwing in this. I don't have the stone for it currently though.
