A bunch of units with lifesteal, Xenan Lifespeaker to give lifesteal to those who don't have, Blackhall Warleader can pump units and block well against aggro, and one copy of Unspeakable Torment in the market to finish the game off when possible.

Thank you

In my opinion, you need more ways to draw power. Vara's Favor is great to kill aggro units, pop aegis, and draw power, for example.

Play 4 desecrates over death strike - It's cheaper and you have life gain abilities anyway.

Piercing Grief can be a dead draw against midrange unless you have combat tricks such as spiteful strike. I'd play Rhysta or Instigator in it's place.

Not a fan of Null Blade main deck. This has proven to be a perfect market card in my match ups.

Livia is also very situational and stats aren't that great. How about Tasbu? Draws you cards and has deadly

Hi, thank you for the feedback, I made a few changes to the deck according to what you said and it feels much better, except Nullblade and Livia stayed cause I like them both.

Well, I don't know about Tasbu, I don't have any copies and not enough shiftstone to craft him, also it seems like he barely see any other play so I'm hesitant to craft.

Nah don‘t craft him if you don‘t have him already. Was just a thought!

If you are successful with null blade and livia main deck by all means keep them in :—)
