A Shadow Simp's Vynnset Deck Tech

Forward:

I will be completely honest with you, playing Vynnset is not for the faint of heart, and a lot of times traditional gameplay and perception is warped by the fact that you will regularly be put into positions that other players would categorize as unwinnable. It is not uncommon for Vynnset to concede a huge life deficit in the early game, and I regularly joke that my hero starts at 20 life because of how regularly I find myself in an early game state where my opponent is sitting at full life and I am already in the teens. It is harrowing to sit for multiple turns with at least one card in Blood Debt and look at a full life opponent who pitches 3 and blocks 6 every turn while your life slowly ticks down due to your own cards. But there is no other deck that comes back in quite the same fashion that Vynnset does: you can be at single digit life totals, and suddenly swing 30 damage out of cards you have carefully sown and watered with your life-blood to reap your opponent’s life total. To play Vynnset you have to give in to the shadows: to understand there is no victory without sacrifice—no power without pain. You have to be comfortable with every hand and situation your deck will throw at you: every Runeblade hand, every tick of Blood Debt, every life paid to your hero ability, and every card that will be ripped out of your hand, all in service of a greater cause.

Embrace the Iron Maiden: I can promise you will not leave unscathed, but neither will your opponents.
