Greetings!

Welcome to the weekly edition of my "Daily Grind" series of blogs. In this edition of the daily grind, I tried for the first time the card "Kaori," which can buff the health and strength of my creatures already on the board. As of this writing, I think Kaori is very solid, and I hope that they don't nerf her.

The current deck that I am using is the deck that I was able to bring to Mythic. Since then, I was very reluctant to make huge changes to the deck. This is the first time that I am going to change a card on it. I removed Cunning Challenger, and I replaced him with Kaori. Kaori's first battle was impressive, as I was able to overpower a dangerous Food Chain Nature deck in Auric Gold.

Crucial Strategies

Keep the enemy from accumulating cards on the board.

Keep Kaori alive to maximize its buff.

Featured Match

Before this match, the god power that I am using is Enrage. Since I felt that I no longer needed additional strength for my cards, I reverted back to Fractur, which is the god power that I used when I achieved Mythic. But after Dread Awakening, I started using Enrage to overwhelm my opponents, especially Death and Deception decks.

God Power: Fracture

Mulligan

As usual, I looked for my 1-2 mana cards so that I could control the board early on.

1 Mana

My opponent played his god power. I responded with Tavern Brawler and killed his confused Badger.

2 Mana

My opponent used his god power again, I responded with my second Tavern Brawler, and I went face. I buffed one of my Tavern Brawlers using Trial Spirit.

3 Mana

My opponent played Raid Swarm and killed one of my Tavern Brawlers. I drew Kaori, and I played it immediately, and it buffed all my creatures on the board after my turn.

4 Mana

My opponent played Conrnered Howler and killed two out of my three creatures. I responded by going face using Kaori and playing Raid Reveller and Skollkin Valkerie.

5 Mana

My opponent played Vicious Manticore and killed Skollkin Valkerie. I played Chieftain's Fury, I went face, and I killed Vicious Manticore using my god power.

5.1 Mana

My opponent played Vasek Isle, but he decided to concede, and it was GG.
