I started playing about a month ago, I'm absolutely in love with this game. Currently rocking Kano because he is a ton of fun and earth Briar doesn't bother me too much when I play him (lightning Briar is tougher). As long as Briar is keeping Prism out of the meta and people think Azalea isn't worth playing, Kano's pretty good. Hopefully with Everfest I'll get some decent sideboard hate against Prism. Some kind of non-attack action card that could still pop Phantasm would be sweet.
My record for most damage in one turn as Kano is 36. My hand was Aether Flare(R), one random red and two random blues with an Energy Pot on field, Tome of Fyendal in Arsenal, and a stacked Aether Flare (B) into a Blazing Aether.
Pitched the two blues to get the Aether Flare (B) and Blazing Aether into banish, got energy from Fyendal's Spring Tunic to play Tome of Fyendal, drew a blue and a yellow, popped Storm Striders, used Crucible, Aether Flare (R) for 4, Aether Flare (B) for 5, Kano'd again because why not and hit a Scalding Rain (R) so shot that for 9, then finished with Blazing Aether for 18 = 36 total. They should've run AB lol.
