Added, tested this deck with ability costing 2:
Won with 9 plies vs Commoner once. Usually 10-12 plies. Similar results vs champ. The undeniable speed forced me to raise cost by 1 and reduce health to 1. 11 plies still seems normal (maybe wrong direction, this deck doesn't care about quanta)
Considering not allowing Pixie to target itself. It'd slow down some of the faster draws that run short on damsels. Did not explore use as "soft" CC or as a pseudo spider alongside Wings. Going to bed now
Edit: was discussing with Fippe, he'd been testing with
Cost nerfs would only force it into a niche. Ended up making trick target player and randomly swap a creature. Returned stats to originally defined. The problem wasn't that you could get a fast dragon out, it's that you never stopped getting fast dragons out. Not too big a fan of increasing randomness; open to alternative suggestions. I was considering changing the casting element, Fippe seems to love monos tho
Will continue to tweak. Currently is now closer to original, but with casting cost of 2
