I've come back to my flourish deck recently. It's primarily designed to be fun to play, but I decided to make it a bit less meme-tier while still capturing the things that make it a unique deck to play. Notes on the deck after the gameplay breakdown.

Gameplay Breakdown

1 Mana

Going first, a 2-2-3 mana curve is really nice. The hand is even better because the Faeflame is a reactive card that can help me respond to whatever they decide to do on their first turn. So on turn one, I play the jag. If he canopies, its a 1-for-1 trade and I haven't lost ground. If he can't answer, I build tempo advantage.

2 Mana

He has a nice opening turn, but using Faeflame is really nice. Taking 6 damage can seem scary, but we also know its an amazon deck. They only win with board presence, so all we have to do is keep the board clear and we win. I also get to go face for 3 without risking my jag dying, so we only actually fall behind by 3 damage.

3 Mana

Their sniper is a nice card to play and clears my jag. Now we have some decisions to make.

• Wasting Lightning strike on a 1/3 is a terrible idea.
• Playing the Stag alone means our opponent can clear before we get to draw an extra card.
• Playing the Dryad gets the 3 drop out of the way and leaves us with the (better) 1 drop.

So Dryad it is.

4 Mana

An average turn for our opponent, but now we get to have some fun with the dryad. I probably should have played the Stag + Beetle before attacking. You never know what you might get, so keep your options open. Jump On! is a terrible card, so I just clean up the sniper with the blade.

5 Mana

Love Myrto's Daughter. Just not so much when it's played against me. Still, he's behind on board so is forced to trade rather than go face. Still, it takes me a bit to decide on the line I want. None are amazing.

• Use Jump On to clear, but this means I have no mana left to play anything else and give up the tempo to my opponent. Now they get to dictate the pace of the game.
• Use Mantincore, but same problem.
• Use Rune of Strength to clear and keep board.

The greed in me wants to keep RoS for a better use, but sanity prevails. I use the Rune to clear and play the monkey and dryad. Monkey is a really fun card, which is a nice bonus.

5.5 Mana

Did I mention monkey is fun? I soften up his board with Manticore (who heals up due to dryad) then get a really nice 2-for-1 with the monkey. I opt to clear board because, again, this is amazons. It's pretty much gg at this point.

6 Mana

Lightning strike is the death knell and it's GG.

The Deck

Code:
GU_1_5_GAwCAuCAuCEyCEyBCCBCCCATCATCAvCAvCCOCCOIASKBKKBKCBxCBxIDKIDKKBTKBTKBWCByCByKBVIDVIDVLALLAL

Drop the whiteplains for a much cheaper and still fun deck. Rabid Bears, guild enforcers, a buff card, a staff of roots. Any will work, and this deck isn't designed to dominate weekend ranked anyway.

Dryad combos really nicely with Dagan, Dalia, Manticore, Boar, and just generally works well with Nature's higher HP stats.

Vexing Rascal (monkey) isn't quite meta tier but isn't as bad as he first appears - especially in a flourish deck. Swing him into 2 damage, flourish him to deal 2 damage, and at the end of the turn he regens to do 2 more. Can lock up a board by himself.

The remaining cards are more standard fare. I played Loam Strider for the longest time, but he was just so slow and was more frustrating than fun, so he got cut.
