In the recent patch, Miracle Salesman had a nerf to the Snake oils it generates, so they now cost 1 mana. This is huge though for Sif Mage, where the 0 cost spells were critical for the OTK. Now that they are 1, under normal conditions the most damage you can deal at 10 mana is a forged molten rune plus a Flame Geyser (6 mana Sif, 3 mana molten and one mana flame geyser), which is (10*2) + 9 damage = 29 damage. This is actually pretty huge especially considering Warriors often sit well above that. As a result, Andolono laboratories have come up with a new plan! I have cut the two miracle salesman and added frostbolts and 2 copies of watercolor artist. The Frostbolts are the only Frost spells in the deck and are guaranteed to be drawn by watercolor artist. The artists can reduce these spells to be 0 costs, which then allows you to go over the 30 damage threshold in a single turn. To find out though if this is reasonable, and not too many steps, I decided to put together a first iteration of the deck to try it out.

Just as an added note; I have two copies of heatwave as the other deck that concerns me is Token Hunter. Eventually though (in the next episode) I will change the deck to have more star powers as I have decided I could live long enough into hunter to actually play them. I will include both decklists and codes below. The mk II version video will be up tomorrow.
