We've got a truly disturbing deck creation to get ridiculous value from the Legendary everyone is getting for free, Mankrik. The deck? Mankrik's Secret Trauma... While we'll build a few different versions of this deck, this one uses a secret package alongside Grand Empress Shek'zara to really meme things up.

The idea of this deck is to use Shadowstep, Tenwu of the Red Smoke, Potion of Illusion, and sometimes even Blackjack Stunner to bounce Mankrik on and off the board so that we can shuffle a ton of extra copies of his wife into the deck.

The ultimate meme finisher will be to have Grand Empress Shek'zara discover his wife so that we flood the board with Mankrik, Consumed by Hatred, which all smack the opponent in the face for a total of 18 damage (as Grand Empress Shek'zara will take up a spot). I don't know that we'll be able to pull that off reliably, but we'll certainly try it!

There's plenty of card draw going on in the deck, and if Mankrik dies before you can bounce him enough times, Jandice Barov and Shadowjeweler Hanar will be great targets to bounce as a way to get additional value in games against control decks. Honestly, this will probably have a terrible winrate, but if you want absurd value from Mankrik, you might try it out!

We'll be experimenting with this on day one of the expansion, so come join the experiments at https://www.twitch.tv/ssalchemist if you'd like to see the chaos unfold on day 1.
