Check out this hare-brained deck. It should be welcome to all the warpstone/innovation/contested village haters out there.
Like all my posted decks, this is for casual play and hasn't been tested at all. See if you can find the theme(s) other than suck.
I might try Loqtza at a later time.

Subtract Manaan Take You! x1, add Animosity x1.

Edit: Alternately, may remove Sotek Skinks and Doomsayers to add Innovations and Warpstones should speedy victory have more appeal than theme.

oh no dont move out morr stuff . I like the deck, a lot. I was thinking abou ways to make the Morr stuff work and I tried the new drwaven hero, but Lizards are way better. Lizards + Morr stuff + Bright Wizards is a great idea. There is some stuff in there I dont get: Like the development stuff or the gold wizards. (this may be the sucking part you talked about or it's me), but that is a great base to build on.

This is what I would run:

I will write a write up later, just two ideas now:

1) Temple Guard are the key card again. You use them to redirect combat or Bright Wizard self damage through all your save units onto a Warrior priest or a development turned into a unit by your Jade Acolyte. With a temple guard one resource basically means another use of savage, if you now where you will take dmg.

2) Jade Acolytes are a great way to transfer resources from on turn into the next: In the beginning of your turn, you turn your developments into units with one power. This is awesome since you have to keep some resources in your opponents turn to use the temple guard. They are basicaly a better Temple of Verena.

The City Gates/Stronghold combo exists as a way to diversify my resource engine or have multiple ways to start up an economy. I'm still trying to figure out on-the-fly placement for the bloodshrines without having actually used the deck. The Empire is all about diversity and options. I may those two for Treasure Vaults, or Bottomless Mine(since the deck is unit heavy). The Gold Wizard aka Destro is included because sometimes I may not want Freddie to trigger, or have to use savage. I believe that, like counterstrike, the threat of savage can be just as effective as savage itself. With Destro and Animosity, this deck gains a little leverage as to when the ability will be used.

I've felt that empire/lizard has more potential than dwarf/lizard and a slight edge over HElf/lizard.

You know, I haven't even looked at the Jade Acolytes since I pulled them out of the BP, but I will now.
