Shadowverse

Bio-fabrication is also quite good; I ran with three, but then I removed them when I was revamping my deck and didn't have enough slots. I'm thinking of adding them back to analyze (or ward) more.

Yes, it's tough against Shadow, I added a 3-mana banish with a puppet, but it's not very effective.

I tried playing with banish – I didn't like it. It has its uses in games, but you still fall behind in tempo. And a single banish doesn't do much.
I added two 3/3 gold creatures; it's still not great against Shadow, but it's better against Rune. But it's still not a guaranteed counter. Honestly, I don't know how to counter Shadow right now; I used to run an AoE spell for 4 mana, but I've stopped using it again. You struggle and struggle, but it doesn't seem to matter.

I don't play Icarus at all; at one point, I even removed the kittens out of frustration, but then I brought them back because they're too good. I use lions, mechanics, 4/3 golems, they draw cards, and then they discard themselves instead of the cards. I used to play flying swordsmen, then I switched to Hamelins to double the draw from the 3-mana draw creature, but it didn't help much.

I mainly play two Icarus for the tutor to get the evolution creature on turn four or five. I either want to trade away trash on the board with enchantments or draw Analyzing and spam, for example, a dragon. Because I've had mixed success with the dragon using the old, reliable method I used to kill Dishevelers: you dump everything you have, counter the salamander with evolve, and then go face if you can. It also sometimes helps, in the absence of Ferverntoks, to control Resonance, so you can draw two artifacts from the gold creature or not discard a useful hand after Deuce.
Three swordsmen for the general pool (although I might change that too, I need to think about it), lions and mechanics are must-haves, and I don't use golems; I found Radiants to be not so much a win condition as something utilitarian for trading or taking a bite once a year. I tried Graviwife, similar to Icarus – it's a bit better; you can trade away a strong creature, plus it draws random cards, but I've removed it for now.
In short, it varies; you need as much analysis as possible, and you probably need to fabricate what you need at the moment – Radiants, Mystics, or Analyzing.
There are a lot of options, and I often try different things; I haven't found anything super reliable yet.
