No one noticed that I edited my post? Okay, let me ask again.

Any tips on dealing with solo mages who switches from Blazing Shield to Snow Sapphire once Gwen is on fire, no pun intended?

Isn't true that with Shrine all you need is 1 RD since it is never destroyed?

Why not 3xShrine + 3xRD or even 4xShrine + 2xRD?

BTW, any tips on dealing with solo mages who switches from Blazing...

Hi Ramirez.

So glad to hear advice from the creator of the original Behemoth deck. :)

I do feel I sacrifice Ogloth very often, due to its high cost. The only value of Ogloth to me is its 6HP so...

Well, to not be overrun by opponent, I guess. It is always a fear for me when I don't have wipe or when opponent has.

With enough draw, opponent can simply play more allies than I can control till...

OP updated with my latest build.

@Airact
You are right about SK and WotF. After some testing, I found that SK indeed works better since it actually creates card advantage and more importantly...

Against typical KPA then draw-n-burn Mage?

NYM on Aldon to control damage, CP on TO or allies with TH to stop draw, play LW ASAP.

After that, use PB to force nova, that's 5 to mage and 3 to you...

I see. You really don't like WotF.

Then an alternative setup can be -3x WotF, -2x Crypt, then +4x SK, +1xSL. This basically goes back to the SK loop used by the original 1.5 deck. It should work...

Even when going first, you can only play Tiger Wulf on T5 and use its ID ability on T6. What if you don't have it by T5 and what if your 1st Tiger Wulf is killed? By the time you can use Tiger Wulf's...

Good questions.

1) Tiger Wulf is not instant ID. It has to survive to function as ID. Chances are the first couple of Tiger Wulf will just get disabled or killed right away. So I found 3 not...

The original concept of this deck comes from Ramirez Delgado. You may want to read the following great thread started by him to get familiar with this unusual play style first.

Check this gal out. :p

Even within the seemly one-dimensional Elad rush deck type, there are at least two sub-types.

The first is mainly tempo focused, which tries to produce threat(s) and deal damage every turn,...

Do you really need 3x Kelvin's Charm?

It is a completely dead draw before you have VoW in play. But you only have 3x VoW in your deck.

BTW, I know the theme is ice and freeze. However, do the...

I don't think a deck that can win over 50% of the time against all possilble decks exists.

However, there are decks which can win over 70% of the time against 70% of the decks that you will run...

Yep, that happened to me too. Opponent hero killed my hero, and then Kairos retaliated and killed that bloody murderer.

Oh, avenge was so sweet and the game was a draw.

Although again expensive, TPS + CW kills everything!

Also both Gwenneth's and Baduruu's weapon can be used to finish Sandworm after TPS.

Let's see.

T1: opponent Kris vs nothing
T2: opponent Puwen vs your IK
T3: opponent Aldon, Puwen kills IK vs your NYM kills Aldon
T4: opponent TO, vs your WBT/JD

Now even if you use Dc's...

How will this deck handle a rush back when going 2nd?

For instance, Kris->Puwen->Aldon->draw->fattie or IK->MA->MA's ability+removal->fattie.

Any thoughts on

-4x IG +4x PW
-1x IK +1x CP

7 2cc allies greatly increase the chance of explosive opening when going first.
4x CP simply because NYM cannot deal with Rider and Rider is PITA...

busti raised a good point there. FT is not really anti human per se. It is in fact a card that is anti weenie rush. Just coincidentally, weenie rush happens to be loved and used by many human heroes...

If, only IF, FT loop with SK or Crypt becomes very, very popular in QM, like over 50% of the shadow decks running them, I would think Rotling & Death Collector, then Artful Squire & Spirit Warden are...

Think in Meltdown, Zaladar can play LW on himself, right?

But he cannot play CP on his OWN allies.

You are absolutely right. SI is a killer with Freezing Grip and Eladwen.

I just don't have space in my deck for some FGs. Thus I choose to use nova and Nish's buffed ability as my board wipes.

I also tried Shatter Ice. But I had problem using it with VoW.

It always goes like this.
Opp. turn: 1st ally frozen
My turn: only 1 frozen ally, SI not a good deal
Opp. turn: 1st ally still...

When the fate of humanity lies in peril, a true archmage should be able to call upon the magical power of all four classical elements.
