I really like the changes to this deck. Dictate of Heliod is pretty great with the ease in which he can pump out tokens. It also seems like it will be much more consistent. I would maybe consider a third over the single Lightning Strike but I concede it may not be necessary. Was Secure the Wastes a consideration for the Raise the Alarm slot. I know for 2-3 mana Alarm is better than Secure but I also think he would rather play Dragon Fodder or Hurdling Outburst over Alarm if he had both in his hand because of the synergy with the Rabblemaster. Secure the Wastes could be a late game mana sink that could really flip the balance of power in his favor and is still at instant speed. Only running 2 would make it less likely to be an inefficient draw in the early game. Just a thought.-Bill

Not a bad thought at all. I hadn't thought of Secure the Wastes, because I was thinking low curve, but it would be bonkers in the right situation. We'll keep an eye on that. -Boyf
I had thought of Secure the Wastes, but like you said, Alarm is better with low mana. I agree that he’ll always want to cast Dragon Fodder over it in turn 2, but if he doesn’t get one of those, he’ll want something to cast in turn 2.If you removed Raise the Alarm and Lightning Strike for a Dictate and Secure the Wastes, you’d essentially be down to 8 2-drops (I’m not counting Secure the Wastes – a 1/1 for 2 mana is terrible). 8 cards at the 2 mana cost is way too few.-Mike
