[Deck] Ladder Climbing Aegis Haven: 75% winrate+ on masters ladder

Hi guys,

Ive been toying with Aegis Haven lately, watching streamers playing the deck and playing it myself, I think right now, without exaggerating, this deck is almost top tier, this version just CRUSHES shadow (im 85% winrate vs it) without playing suboptimal tech cards like forbidden ritual. While having a decent Dragon matchup and overall great play vs anything aggressive making it one of the best decks to ladder right now.

WARNING: this decks is super soft to combo decks, it has an almost impossible forest and dshift matchup, luckily, that decks are almost non-existant right now.

This is the decklist(the cut card is a Bahamut)

My lose vs havencraft simply...he went first. And this isnt just a moment of good luck, the list has been winning like this for the last 2 days.

The list isnt Rocket science but some numbers and some card choices may feel odd (and the list for sure can be refined even more) but it works like a charm. And if you feel the meta decks are giving you a hard time, try this deck and you will enjoy laddering (and crushing) again.

thanks to the streamers Railgun17 and Joe_universe that serve as inspiration for this build and are overall great haven players.

UPDATE: Since some people asked about card choices and mulligan here it goes

Frog cleric: Its a 2 drop that can serve as healing for going out of burst damage later, I had more Unicas and doggies before but I found the inmediate healing more neccesary these days since people like to set up burst from hand.

Hound: another 2 drop that you can play alongside a cudgel on 6, rush decks will ignore your evo dudes and you can deploy a cheap guard then + removal and that can win games.

Bahamut: Is a concession to control decks, probably the worst card in the deck but I found another board clear valuable, this was an israfil at some point but you needed an evo point for it and you dont have the luxury most of the time.

Beastcaller Aria: A great card in general and strong vs dragon in particular, the card is used for board control and board swings on 5 with pop amulet + cudgel or lion you can ping a rahab with the bird and finish it with cudgel and leave 2 bodies that play around breath of the salamander.

Most Other cards are pretty standard.

Mulligan:

Vs shadow: early interaction, 2 drops, grimnir, cudgel and scripture. A thing I dont see a lot of people do in the matchup is keeping Themis Decree...yes, is a 6 drop, but is super important to have it since shadow rebuilds very fast and one of the ways you lose is when they develop 2 eachtars boiards in a row and you dont have 2 board clears.

Vs Dragon: beastcaller aria, early minions, tribunal, Aegis. Your plan is pressure them so they cant ramp freely, kill their stuff and put it on aegis range, Aegis is the card that wins the game so keep it if you see it. Sonia is very good vs Ourobos and can stop any combo kill with Zell, and thats amazing.

Aggresive decks in general like vengeance blood: Early minions, you play is to eat a devil of vengeance on 4 and exiling a belphegor with a cudgel so you need something in the board to ping, tribunal is bad in this matchup because airjammer, cards like lion on djeanne require setup but you can exploit them if you play carefully.

Combo decks: very bad matchups, try to curve your minions use evos aggressively and pray.

Mirror: Aegis and removal, the plan if you go second is to use your extra evo to pressure their life total so you can try to put them on 1 hit of your aegis, still going first and dropping Aegis is win most of the time.
