Welcome to the weekly edition of my "Daily Grind" series of blogs. Dread Awakening went live today and luckily I got the chance to buy some cards and try Dreadtouch in Daily Play & Earn. I was excited about this set because I saw some good cards in the Nature domain. I am an avid Nature user so I immediately tried the Dreadtouch deck I built.
First impression: Dreadtouch Nature is fun to play
My first impression of the Dreadtouch keyword for Nature is, it is "fun" to play. With this set, avid Nature users can now make a more aggro deck with additional firepower that it lacked previously. With this new type of deck, I was able to win 8 out of 10 games today between Auric Gold and Solar Gold.
Featured Match
In this featured match I was up against a deck that Nature is traditionally weak, Aggro/Rockdrakes Death. Using Dreadtouch Nature, I was surprised that I finally beat this deck archetype.
God Power: Animal Bond (1/2 badger is perfect for sacrifice)

I am still finding out the best mulligan for this deck, but for now I am looking for my 1-2 mana cards as my starting hand.

My opponent played Voidwatch Brand, Vrock, and Brood Parasite. My opponent played Sufuric Rain which killed all two creatures of my opponent and summoned a frontline creature while I still had one (which is Vanir Lion). I killed the frontline creature with Lightning Strike. I went face with 9/6 Vanir Lion and it is GG.
