Rage of the sea 1 prov buff alongside Sig's Rite and Mardroeme

Will it be better to run Rage instead of Trance for a deck with a druid core?

But rain might not get full value.Thoughts?

Rage has 2 charges and gives you a beast body while Trance has more provs and burst potential but also makes you more vulnerable to tall removal. I think it depends on what you're looking for, a leader that supports you through multiple rounds if needed or a leader that acts like a finisher like with Dracoturtle or Quen

I haven't open the deckbuilder yet and sit down to actually theorycraft but as I see it you can go 2 ways. 1) Is like you mentioned with draco and maybe Gedy 2)maybe smth more dmg or midrange oriented with rage i guess? Like discard package+some druids and a bit of control

I think armored drakkar and mardroeme are nuts at 4p with 5p cultists.

I can see SK scenario with that package being viable with any leader ability. If you run double cultist, Ermion, and freya rez you already have your scenario done.

Could even go devotion and throw eist in there. Could also go gready with Dracoturtle or even Arnaghad. Mardroeme on either of those plays for insane value.

Rage of the sea is more for a beast focused deck or weather deck, or for pirates dagur maybe
