I always wanted to build a deck containing all the standard-legal animal cards which usually don't see much play. Due to the needed influence the best fit was Nova and I was glad to get an opportunity to try it in the Nova vs Ampère Only - Standard tournament!

Nobody said the deck was good (lack of consistency hits even harder with 57 cards) but at least it's the deck with the most animals!

Featuring:

Some nice things that worked in my games: getting Hermes and Daeg down while the opponent is 2-5 down and then waiting, fueling Dr. Nuka Vrolyck when they score to search for pieces.

RIP DreamNet which was super cool for Nova :'(

nice idea, probably less janky than some of my decks! why does it have so many non-animal cards though?

@m.p because most of the animal cards are not really good I guess :D

So I put in some generally good cards for econ and draw since most animals are printed on breakers (and some on resources). I won one game with it where my draw order was lucky.

My most used animal cards: Aumakua, Chameleon, Mayfly, Nanuq and Paladin Poemu.
