Before the miniset was released I would play the following Beard combo: play Beard, Zola the Beard, then Shadowstep/Breakdance the Beard. Two Beards in hand, and the moment the opponent has an empty or near-empty board, go off with the Beards! The Inator version did in fact enter my mind, but I got concerned about the Inator taking up a whole space, meaning one less Beard on the board. The "maintain and not die" part: Spectral cutlass in my case, which makes this a thief rogue featuring a potential Beard OTK, so hopefully I can also find some random board clear or heal from another class.
