So...I never really had a desire to play the wild quest/giants mage deck before, buuut according to initial reports wild quest highlander mage is tier 1 in wild (and doesn't run dragonqueen alex, which is good cause I don't have her, but I do have the rest of the relevant highlander cards).

Ended up crafting 3 cards for this. Quest, Primordial Glyph, and Barista Lynchen. In retrospect Barista is probably not that important but oh well--decent odds I'll want her for other decks like various shaman nonsense.

Didn't bother crafting the new giant or vulpera scoundrel or Chenvalla. (Not all lists run the new giant, and god, I just....don't want to waste dust on vulpera scoundrel; when I look at hsreplay stats on that card it's nearly always the lowest winrate card in its deck. Chenvalla is clearly not core to the deck, I just ran Flamewaker instead.).

Ended up cutting Brann Bronzebeard who is in every list I've seen but felt super awkward when I drew him, and HSReplay stats flagged him as one of the lower winrate cards. He's good with Kazakus, good with Zola, but irrelevant with old reno, usually overkill with new reno, and sketchy to combine with Zeph unless Brann survives a turn.

One of my early deckbuilding mistakes was copying a list that didn't have Cobalt Spellkin. Run that card, it's really good. (Violet Spellwing is not as good, but I ended up running it as well just cause generating enough spells to complete the quest has been a problem).

Overall I don't really have a full feel for the deck yet. It doesn't complete the quest that fast, but it also has most of the control tools of Reno Mage so it can often just win as a control deck before the quest even completes; I'd say a lot of my wins have been pre quest completion. I've also definitely lost after the quest completed. (Against a big priest who had ressed a bunch of 4/8 lifesteal taunts; could not punch through those even with three turns). I do seem to be winning slightly more than I'm losing, but I don't feel like I know what I'm doing yet.
