Yellowjacket

025rg065rr065s7065ru07606065v1065vb065vg057q00a7t4018ps

Upgrades: 5xGoon+Midas + 3+5 base ups = 23
Results: Went 3-2. Goon-midas and GhostMare work well together.

054sg02596045f8045j2045il045p0045sd015uk045vb045vg0f6ru097t4018pt

Upgrades: 4xMinotaur+Siren+Goon + 3+5 base ups = 32
Results: Went 3-2. Improved by focusing more on smashing heads and less on bad engines.

Spoiler for Deck 3:

Upgrades: 3xSurgeon+Elf+Sadism + 1 Surgeon + 1 Druid + 3+5 base ups = 28
Results: Went 3-2. Much better slimmed down and focused, I like the synergies.

Upgrades: 4xBoar+Jet Stream + 2 Draft + 3+5 base ups = 22. I actually messed up my count, so let's pretend I picked Geomancy=Gravity for this deck.
Results: Went 2-3. Just one more win and all my decks would have gone 3-2. But it's fine because instead this one got to have the best name.

While fun to play PvE against mages, it's vulnerable to early CC and can be thoroughly curb-stomped by unsummon at any time.
The real purpose of this deck can be seen in this PvE match:

A total misnomer. When I first put the deck together, I forgot about lithomancy, so it really was semi-upped, but... Well, let's stick to the flying pigs part. Straightforwards rush. Turlututu's goons stole all my permanents and stopped me from building up fast enough.

Again, straighforwards. My win against Septima came from nighshadeing minotaurs because I didn't draw any orochi, but otherwise played much as expected. My loss against Serpex was through deckout, as I didn't draw any nightshades until too late and couldn't get my orochis going.

I only used this deck in my match against Septima. Then I realised it essentially had a 100% chance of a terrible draw and replaced it.

Came close in several matches, but just couldn't cut it.

In general, my goal was to make my decks as different as possible. I drafted another cardinal quad that remained unused for being too redundant with my other decks. Perhaps it would have out-performed Fortune? It was smaller, so maybe wouldn't have spent so much time drawing four hand drills in a row when what I needed was an hourglass. Anyways, I digress. Fun matches, good games, everyone.
