Xarthisius/Treason Combo
At this point in the meta, this combo exists solely for the purpose of pulling a DBP or Spotter out of your opponents deck. It can't play golds, and it's useless in Round 1, because all your choices are the junk that people mulliganed (I literally played it last night and my opponents top 3 cards were all golems). If your opponent is playing SK, he usually uses Bran to shuffle his deck immediately after Xarthisius hits the board, and none of the Wild Hunt/Monster Consume creatures are overly helpful. I guess sometimes you get lucky, and can pull a Skellige Storm or some other useful silver, but it's rare.
So I guess my question is, at the cost of 1 Gold and 1 Silver, with not at all the benefits I was hoping for, can anyone give me a good reason why I should not pull these cards from my deck?
